Item
2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April
22, 2009, the Company issued a press release reporting its financial results as
of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. A copy of the press
release and a financial supplement were included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2,
respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which was furnished
to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 22, 2009. Due to a
formatting error, on page 18 of the financial supplement, under the caption
“Trading securities” incorrect amounts were shown for corporate bonds, non U.S.
Governments and insurance-linked securities as of December 31, 2008 under the
column headings “Fair Value”, “Weighted Average Book Yield” and “Weighted
Average Market Yield to Maturity.” The formatting error has
been corrected, and a copy of the financial supplement, as revised, is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The
information hereunder is not deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is not otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that section and is not incorporated by reference into any filing
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference
in such a filing.
