This Amendment No. 6 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 December 1, 1999,
by Warburg, Pincus Investors, L.P. ("WPI") of an aggregate of 1,331,248 Common
Shares to the 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 1,543,748 Common Shares and WP directly owns 40,687 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
12.6% to 7.8% in the case of WPI and EMW LLC, and from 13.0% to 8.0% in the case
of WP.
