Hamilton, Bermuda, May 9, 2006 RAM Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq National Market: RAMR) announced today
that its Board of Directors, on recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee, appointed Conrad Voldstad to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors created by the
resignation of Michael J. Miller, which was expected as disclosed in the Companys Registration
Statement on Form S-1.
Welcoming Mr. Voldstad to the Board, Mr. Vernon M. Endo, Chief Executive
Officer and President of the Company said, Connie brings to the Board a wealth of
experience in the structured finance and global fixed income capital markets, where financial
guaranty products play an increasingly important role. We believe his perspective and unique
insight will add an important dimension to the Board discussion.
Mr. Voldstads career includes over ten years at Merrill Lynch & Co. where he held several senior
management positions, including Co-Head of Debt Capital Markets from 1997 1998 and Head of
European Debt Markets from 1995 1997. From 1998 to 1999, he was a member of the Oversight
Committee of Merrill Lynch & Co. that liquidated the assets and positions of Long Term Capital. In
2001, Mr. Voldstad became a founder and Principal of New Jersey based Arlington Hill Investment
Management, LLC, which manages a fixed income hedge fund. In addition, Mr. Voldstad is a founder,
advisor, and director of Pallium Investment Management, a start-up investment management company
majority owned by the Bank of Montreal that intends to be involved in the credit derivatives
market. Mr. Voldstad has a J.D. degree from Fordham University and an MBA from Dartmouth College.
Mr. Voldstad is a member of the Board of Overseers, Amos Tuck School, Dartmouth College. Mr.
Voldstad will serve as a Director until the next Annual General Meeting of the Company, when it is
expected that he will be placed on the ballot for election by the shareholders.
On May 4, 2006, Mr. Miller submitted a letter to the Board of Directors tendering his resignation
from the Board of Directors effective immediately. Mr. Millers resignation was expected, as
disclosed in the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-1 for its initial public offering.
Affiliates of CIVC Partners, of which Mr. Miller is a principal, sold a substantial portion of
their shares of the Company in the initial public offering. Mr. Endo said, We certainly appreciate Mikes contributions during his
four years on the Board, including his participation on the Compensation and Pricing Committees.
We are also grateful for the support provided by CIVC, one of our original shareholders, which has
enabled our Company to develop from a start up to a significant participant in the financial
guaranty reinsurance market.
