TABLE OF CONTENTS
Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed in order to amend Exhibit 99.1 to the Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Allied World Assurance
Company Holdings, AG (the “Company”) on May 6, 2011 (the “Original Form 8-K”). On
Slide 24, the subsequent loss development in the 2011 row was changed from $1,306.7 million to
$1.3 million for the 2002 accident year as such figure was incorrectly reported. On Slide 25, the date under the last column in the table
entitled “Net Prior Year Reserve Releases” was changed from Q1 2010 to Q1 2011. The foregoing
information is incorporated by reference into Item 7.01 below. All other information in the
Original Form 8-K remains unchanged. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A continues to speak as of
the date of the Original Form 8-K, and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained herein
to reflect any events that occurred at a later date.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
Beginning on May 10, 2011, representatives of the Company presented to various investors the
information about the Company described in the slides attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1,
which are incorporated by reference herein.
The information in Item 7.01 of this report is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to
Regulation FD. Accordingly, the information in Item 7.01 of this report will not be incorporated
by reference into any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference. The
furnishing of the information in this report is not intended to, and does not, constitute a
determination or admission by the Company that the information in this report is material or
complete, or that investors should consider this information before making an investment decision
with respect to any security of the Company.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Any forward-looking statements made in the presentation in Exhibit 99.1 reflect our current
views with respect to future events and financial performance and are made pursuant to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve
risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth
in these statements. For example, our forward-looking statements could be affected by pricing and
policy term trends; increased competition; the impact of acts of terrorism and acts of war; greater
frequency or severity of unpredictable catastrophic events; negative rating agency actions; the
adequacy of our loss reserves; the Company or its subsidiaries becoming subject to significant
income taxes in the United States or elsewhere; changes in regulations or tax laws; changes in the
availability, cost or quality of reinsurance or retrocessional coverage; adverse general economic
conditions; and judicial, legislative, political and other governmental developments, as well as
management’s response to these factors, and other factors identified in our filings with the SEC.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of the date on which they are made. We are under no obligation (and expressly disclaim any such
obligation) to update or revise any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time,
whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
