Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On March 30, 2020, Blue Capital Reinsurance Holdings Ltd. (“Blue Capital” or the “Company”) announced that it had filed a Form 15 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to voluntarily deregister its common stock and suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result of the Form 15 filing, the Company will no longer be required to file certain reports under the Exchange Act, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K, and current reports on Form 8-K.

On March 19, 2020, the Company filed a Form 25 (Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) with the SEC in order to voluntarily delist its common shares from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), with the last trading day for the Company’s common shares on the NYSE on March 30, 2020. The Company will also withdraw its listing with the Bermuda Stock Exchange prior to July 31, 2020.

Following delisting and deregistration, the Company believes that its common shares will continue to be quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market (“OTC Pink”), a centralized electronic quotation service operated by the OTC Markets for over-the-counter securities. However, the Company can give no assurance that trading in its common shares will continue in the future on the OTC Pink, on any securities exchange, or in any other quotation medium.

The Company intends to post important notices and proxy materials on its website going forward. The Company currently intends to provide at least limited financial information, primarily related to its liquidation process and remaining cash resources, although there can be no assurances that the Company will undertake to provide, or continue to provide, such limited information.

The Company’s press release dated March 30, 2020 furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.08

The Company does not intend to hold an annual meeting to elect directors during the month of May as it has in prior years. The date of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, if any, has not been set. Information concerning future shareholder meetings will be posted on the Company’s website.
