The investigation by a law firm focus on potential breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Odyssey Re Holdings Corp. (Public, NYSE:ORH) arising out of their attempt to sell Odyssey Re Holdings to. Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited. Odyssey Re Holdings Corp. (NYSE: ORH) announced on September 08, 2009 that it received on September 4, 2009 an unsolicited proposal from Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (TSX and NYSE: FFH) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of OdysseyRe Holdings Corp. that it does not currently own for $60 per share in cash. Odyssey Re Holdings Corp announced that Financial Holdings Limited currently owns approximately 72.6% of all outstanding shares of common stock of OdysseyRe Holdings Corp.

According to an investigation by a law firm “the transaction appears to be unfair” to current investors of Odyssey Re Holdings Corp. (NYSE: ORH) because the “offer to purchase Odyssey Re Holdings at $60 per share appears opportunistically timed to take advantage of the current economic downturn”. Another investigation “concerns whether the consideration to be paid to ORH shareholders is grossly unfair, inadequate, and substantially below the fair or inherent value of ORH” and “whether the directors of ORH, including any special committee members, may have breached their fiduciary duties by not acting in ORH shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process of ORH”.

Those who currently are investors in shares of Odyssey Re Holdings Corp. (Public, NYSE:ORH), and purchased the shares before September 04, 2009, and / or have additional information relating to the investigation, should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. at:
