Bermuda-based White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. announced that it and funds managed by Prospector Partners, LLC have decided to withdraw their proposed secondary offering of approximately 4,785,540 common shares of Montpelier Re Holdings Ltd. pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement.
