Catlin Group Limited
11 March 2005


                                DIVIDEND DETAILS

HAMILTON, Bermuda - The Board of Directors of Catlin Group Limited has
recommended a final dividend of 15.6 US cents (8.1 pence) per share in respect
of the year ended 31 December 2004, which will be paid on 31 May 2005 to
shareholders of record at the close of business on 29 April 2005, subject to
shareholders' approval at the Annual General Meeting on 25 May 2005. When added
to the declared interim dividend of 7.9 US cents (4.3 pence), this will make a
total dividend for the year of 23.5 US cents (12.4 pence) per share.

The final dividend has been calculated in US dollars but declared in sterling
based on the exchange rate of 1.93 prevailing on 9 March 2005. The final
dividend will therefore be payable in sterling except for shareholders who have
elected as at 10 March 2005 to receive their dividends in US dollars.

Shareholders who have not previously elected to receive dividends in US dollars
and who wish to do so in the future should contact the Company's registrar,
Capita IRG (UK telephone: [phone] or if dialling from overseas: +44 (0)20
8639 2000).
