RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Markel Corporation (NYSE: MKL) ("Markel") announced today the consideration payable for each series of notes subject to the previously announced cash tender offers (the "Tender Offer") by Markel and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Alterra Finance LLC ("Alterra"), for any and all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount, respectively, of (1) Markel's 5.35% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "Markel Notes") and (2) Alterra's 6.25% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "Alterra Notes" and, together with the Markel Notes, the "Notes").

The consideration for each series of Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase, dated September 12, 2019 (the "Offer to Purchase"), by reference to the applicable fixed spread over the yield to maturity, based on the bid side price, of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security, all as specified in the table below for each series of Notes, as calculated by the Dealer Managers (as defined below) at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 18, 2019. Holders whose Notes are purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the applicable last interest payment date to, but not including, the settlement date for the Tender Offer, which is expected to be September 23, 2019.
