Net proceeds to Fairfax were approximately US$300 million.

Fairfax will continue to be Odyssey Re’s the majority shareholder.
The Company said it would use the “proceeds it received from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include opportunistically effecting open market or privately negotiated repurchases of its outstanding debt or shares. Odyssey Re did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares.”
