Regulatory News:

PartnerRe Ltd. (NYSE, Euronext:PRE) today announced that its loss estimate for the flooding in Australia that occurred in December 2010 is expected to be between $25-$35 million, pre-tax. The Company will record the charge for this event in its fourth quarter 2010 results and losses are expected to be contained within the Company's Catastrophe, Global (Non-U.S.) Property and Casualty and Global (Non-U.S.) Specialty sub-segments.

In addition, as a result of the significant number of losses that occurred in Australia and New Zealand during 2010, the Company also expects that an aggregate cover it wrote will incur a charge of $45 million, pre-tax, which will be recorded in its fourth quarter 2010 results. This loss will be recorded within the Company's Catastrophe sub-segment.

Large areas of Australia continue to experience flooding and the Company expects these floods will cause a separate event or events that will affect first quarter 2011 results. The Company is currently assessing its exposure to the January 2011 event or events and will provide an estimate of the total impact of the flooding in Australia when this assessment is completed.

PartnerRe's loss estimates are net of reinstatement premium and retrocession, as applicable.

PartnerRe is scheduled to release fourth quarter and full year 2010 results after the close of trading on Monday, February 7, 2011. PartnerRe Management will conduct a conference call and webcast on Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern to discuss results and provide additional information on the loss events discussed above.
