MARKEL GROUP INC. (MKL) Form 8-K — Oct 28, 2026
Markel Group (NYSE: MKL) announced an adverse development cover reinsurance agreement with Cavello Bay Reinsurance Limited, a subsidiary of Enstar Group, covering $4.8 billion of net reserves in its run-off global reinsurance business and certain exited insurance lines. Markel retains the first $2.6 billion of losses, with $2.3 billion of reserve coverage and $1.2 billion of coverage for adverse development above reserves, in exchange for a $2.4 billion premium paid largely via asset transfer. The transaction caps future reserve volatility on legacy liabilities and supports Markel's stated strategy of focusing on its core specialty insurance business.
