This Amendment No. 5 amends the Schedule 13G initially filed by the
Reporting Entities on February 8, 1996 (as amended, the "Schedule 13G"),
relating to the Common Shares, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Shares"),
of RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd., a Bermuda company, and is being filed pursuant
to Rule 13d-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Unless otherwise indicated, all
capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set
forth in the Schedule 13G.
Introductory Note.
------------------
The Reporting Entities are hereby reporting a change in their
beneficial ownership of the Common Shares caused by the distribution on April
23, 1998, by Warburg, Pincus Investors ("WPI") of an aggregate of 998,436 Common
Shares to the limited and general partners of WPI. The sole general partner of
WPI, Warburg, Pincus & Co., a New York general partnership ("WP"), in turn
distributed a portion of the shares of Common Stock it received to its partners
(collectively, the "Distribution"). E.M. Warburg, Pincus & Co., LLC, a New York
limited liability company ("EMW LLC"), manages WPI. As a result of the
Distribution, WPI directly owns 2,874,966 Common Shares and WP directly owns
52,162 Common Shares. With respect to such Common Shares now owned directly by
WP, this Amendment is being filed solely to reflect a change in ownership from
indirect to direct.
As a result of such transactions, the percentage of Common Stock that
may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Entities has decreased
from 17.3% to 12.6% in the case of WPI and EMW LLC, and from 17.3% to 13.0% in
the case of WP.
