Performance Share Plan awards

On 21 March 2006 certain Amlin executive Directors and other PDMRs were also
granted conditional awards under the Company's Performance Share Plan 2004
('PSP') entitling them to acquire the numbers of Shares set out below, at a
nominal price of £1 in total per exercise.

Depending on the extent to which performance conditions are satisfied, and
subject to continuing employment in the Amlin Group, such awards will normally
be exercisable between March 2011 and September 2011. Awards under the PSP are
only made to executive Directors and senior employees who are not underwriters,
and therefore who are not eligible for the separate incentive schemes operated
by the Group for underwriters.
