Transaction Valuation*: $ 3,348,740,666.33 |

Pursuant to Rules 0-11(a)(4) and 0-11(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the market value of the securities to be received was calculated as the product of (i) 64,791,345 shares of Transatlantic common stock outstanding as of July 5, 2011 and potentially issuable pursuant to Transatlantic options and stock-based awards (as reported in the Form S-4 filed by Allied World Assurance Company Holdings, AG, on July 7, 2011), and (ii) the average of the high and low sales prices of shares of Transatlantic common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on July 21, 2011 ($51.69).
** The amount of filing fee is calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, equals 0.00011610 multiplied by the proposed maximum offering price.
