Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Citibank Letter of Understanding
This Form 8-K/A amends the Form 8-K filed on June 16, 2010 regarding a letter of understanding with Citibank, N.A. ("Citi"). On August 10, 2010, Greenlight Reinsurance, Ltd. (the "Company"), the principal subsidiary of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd., entered into a letter of understanding ("the Letter") with Citi for both parties to use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith to enter into a new letter of credit agreement ("New Agreement") by no later than August 20, 2010. The New Agreement would supercede and replace the existing letter of credit agreement between the Company and Citi, which expires on October 11, 2010, as amended by a June 10, 2010 letter of understanding for both parties to use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith to enter into a new letter of credit facility on or before August 10, 2010. Failure to enter into the New Agreement by August 20, 2010 shall result in the Letter serving as a written notice of cancellation and termination of the current letter of credit agreement on October 11, 2010. The Company expects that the New Agreeement, like the existing agreement, will include a limit of $400 million on the aggregate amount of credit extended through letters of credit.
