1.We note your response to comment 1. Notwithstanding your analysis and discussion, we
continue to believe that certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Pubco Bye-laws
should be presented as separate proposals to allow for shareholders of Tiberius to vote on
each material change from the corresponding provision in Tiberius’s current amended and
restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws separately. Please revise to unbundle
these matters as separate proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-4(a)(3). For guidance, please
refer to Questions 201.01 and 201.02 of the Compliance and Disclosure

2.We acknowledge your response to prior comment 10. Please tell us why you do not
reflect any intangible assets or goodwill in your pro forma financial statements associated
with the reverse acquisition of Tiberius. In this regard, we note that the current
market capitalization of Tiberius is significantly in excess of the book value of its equity
plus mezzanine equity at both June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019. Reference for us
the authoritative literature you rely upon to support your position.

3.We acknowledge your response to prior comment 11 and continue to believe that the title
of this non-IFRS measure is confusingly similar to IFRS-compliant measures used by
others. As previously requested, please revise the title of this non-IFRS measure in your
next amendment.
Results of Operations, page 217
4.We acknowledge your response to prior comment 12. Given the significance of favorable
development to your profit before tax for each of 2016, 2017 and 2018, please revise your
operating results disclosure to highlight this significance. We note that your revised
disclosure need not duplicate the explanatory disclosures you provide on pages 250 and
251 (a cross reference to that disclosure would be appropriate), but we believe investors
should be made readily aware of the impact of changes of prior period estimates on your
current period bottom line operating results.

5.We acknowledge your response to prior comment 14. Please revise your disclosure added
on page 235 to specifically address the following:
•Disclose the cause of the significant negative loss ratio in the first half of 2018 for the
construction and engineering line.
•Disclose the location of the event causing the significant losses in 2016 and 2017 in
the ports and terminals line.

6.We acknowledge your response to prior comment 20. Please revise your disclosure here
or in your liquidity and capital resources discussion beginning on page 172, as
appropriate, consistent with your response to:
•Highlight the customary slow payment in some of the countries in which you do
business;
•Indicate when you cancel policies for past due premiums; and
•Disclose your policy regarding paying (or not paying) claims on policies with past
due premiums.

7.We acknowledge your response to comment 22 and continue to believe that your
disclosure provides investors with no information to assess the potential magnitude of this
matter under arbitration. In this regard, we note that even the example at IAS 37.D3
provides information on the claim involved. Given the overall significance of your
reinsurance activities to your operations and operating results, please revise your
disclosure to provide some factual quantitative information consistent with your response
that will afford investors with an indication of the magnitude of this matter and not
jeopardize your position in the arbitration.
