White Mountains' wholly owned subsidiary, OneBeacon Insurance Group (consisting

beginning November 1, 2001 (the "Effective Date"), to assume new and renewal
commercial and personal lines business produced by OneBeacon agents in 42 states
and the District of Columbia. Additionally, OneBeacon will reinsure 67% of the
renewal premiums written and the net liability for loss and loss adjustment
expense of all renewal policies subject to the agreement during the first twelve
months after the Effective Date of the transaction and 33% of such net premiums
written and net liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses during the
following twelve months.
The press release issued by OneBeacon dated September 5, 2001 and a summary of
significant terms of the agreement in principle between OneBeacon and Liberty
Mutual were previously filed as Exhibits 99 (a) and 99 (b), respectively, to the
Form 8-K dated September 5, 2001 (filed September 7, 2001). The press release
issued by OneBeacon dated October 30, 2001 was previously filed as Exhibit 99

This Current Report on Form 8-K amends the Form 8-K dated November 1, 2001 and

of this transaction on the operating results of the Registrant.
