MARKEL GROUP INC.

Markel Group is a holding company that owns independently operated businesses across a range of industries. The cornerstone business, Markel Insurance, provides specialized insurance products that are not typically available through the standard insurance market. This insurance business sits at the center of the Company's strategy. It generates and holds capital used to support growth and investment across Markel Group. The other majority-owned businesses operate in diverse end markets, from industrial bakery equipment to ornamental plants to precast concrete. Markel Group also owns shares in publicly traded companies, primarily within its insurance operations. Markel Group supports each business by empowering leaders to make the best long-term decisions for their businesses. Customers, associates, and shareholders each benefit from this approach, given how it allows businesses to pursue opportunities that require time, stability, and trust. We believe this approach is difficult to replicate and makes Markel Group a distinctive home for businesses. An example of Markel Group's long-term mindset is the approach to reserving within the insurance operations. Customers rely on Markel Insurance to honor promises that may extend many years into the future. Through its long-standing practice of establishing reserves that are more likely to be redundant than deficient and investing the capital held to pay those reserves in high-quality investments, Markel Insurance ensures it can fulfill its commitments and uphold the trust placed in it by policyholders.
