Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The following information is being furnished under Item 7.01, "Regulation FD Disclosure." This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, or incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On March 30, 2016, XL Group plc (“XL”) announced that it estimates that the integration costs for the first quarter of 2016 associated with its May 1, 2015 acquisition of Catlin Group Limited will be approximately $55 million.


This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements about our expected integration costs. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about XL's expectations or estimates, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current estimates and expectations, which involve risk and uncertainty. Actual results may differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those estimated include changes in the amount of integration costs for the first quarter of 2016 due to the preliminary nature of our estimates at this time.  XL undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
