Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
The following information is being furnished under Item 2.02, "Results of Operations and Financial Condition." 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 October 26, 2016, XL Group Ltd issued the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein announcing the results of XL Group Ltd for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Company announced that, for personal financial management purposes, Mr. McGavick is planning to exercise stock options and sell shares sufficient to generate approximately $12.5 million in after tax proceeds. Such sales are expected to be done pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan and will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Such trading plan will be designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and will be entered into in accordance with the Company’s securities trading policies. Sales pursuant to the trading plan are expected to end no later than June 30, 2017. If all securities expected to be subject to the trading plan are sold, such sales would represent approximately 31.6% of Mr. McGavick’s current securities beneficially owned in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Following the sales, Mr. McGavick is expected to continue to remain in compliance with the Company’s share ownership guidelines, owning securities with an aggregate market value in excess of six times his base salary. For purposes of these guidelines, securities include shares beneficially owned as well as restricted stock units, restricted stock awards and the “in-the-money” value of vested stock options.
