Explanatory Note
 
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) relates to the common shares (the “Common Shares”) of SiriusPoint Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares (the “Issuer” or the “Company”), and amends the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned reporting person (the “Reporting Person”) on August 2, 2021 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, together with this Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to amend Item 4 and Item 5 as follows:

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

The Reporting Person, Daniel S. Loeb, is the founder of, and largest individual investor in, the Issuer. Mr. Loeb has had Board Observer rights with respect to the Issuer since 2012 but is today joining the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”). Joshua L. Targoff, a partner at Third Point LLC and a Board member of the Issuer since inception, will exercise the Board Observer rights to which Mr. Loeb or his designee is contractually entitled. Thus, Third Point LLC will not increase its total representation on the Board as a result of this change. 

The Reporting Person has significant public board experience having served, among others, as a director of Yahoo! and Sotheby’s.   The Reporting Person, as a significant shareholder, has also used his experience and expertise to advise numerous CEOs of multinational corporations on matters of governance, board composition and capital allocation. Mr. Loeb supports the Issuer’s previously announced strategy of reducing volatility of the investment portfolio. He plans to bring his extensive investment experience to assist the Board and management team in executing this strategy, including by formulating and applying a fixed income and hedging program that should provide above-industry average investment returns, without taking on excess risk.

Mr. Loeb will also work with fellow Board members to identify and recruit a permanent Chief Executive Officer, who will be charged with leading the Company back to profitable underwriting, managing expenses effectively, and better using the Company’s significant strategic assets to maximize value for all shareholders.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) On the date of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 9.35% of the Common Shares outstanding, of which the 2010 Loeb Family Trust owns 235,127 Common Shares, Third Point Advisors LLC owns 1,000,000 Common Shares, Third Point Opportunities Master Fund L.P. owns 7,493,842 Common Shares, the 2011 Loeb Family GST Trust owns 4,999,958 Common Shares, and Mr. Loeb owns the balance of the Common Shares reported herein. Mr. Loeb disclaims beneficial ownership of such Common Shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any.  The calculation of the percentage of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person is based on the 162,197,771 Common Shares outstanding as of May 2, 2022, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which was filed with the SEC on May 4, 2022.

(b) The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares set forth in Item 5(a) above.

(c) The Reporting Person has not effected any transaction in the past 60 days in Common Shares.

(d) Other than the affiliates of the Reporting Person set forth in Item 5(a) of this Schedule 13D, no other person has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from or proceeds from the sale, of the Common Shares described in this Schedule 13D.

(e) Not applicable.
