NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a
class action lawsuit has been filed against Markel Corporation (“Markel” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MKL) and certain of its officers,
on behalf of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired Markel securities during the period between July 26, 2017 and
December 6, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm’s site:
www.bgandg.com/mkl.
This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed
to disclose that: (1) Markel’s subsidiaries did not appropriately record loss reserves; (2) as a result, the loss reserves would
need to be adjusted and/or restated; (3) these misleading accounting practices would lead to regulatory scrutiny and financial loss
to investors; and (4) consequently, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, were
materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On December 6, 2018, Markel issued a press release stating “that after having been contacted on November 30, 2018, it is fully
cooperating with inquiries by US and Bermuda authorities into loss reserves recorded in late 2017 and early 2018 at Markel CATCo
Investment Management Ltd and its subsidiaries.” Following this announcement, Markel’s stock dropped $99.70 per share, or
over 8%, to close at $1048.23 on December 7, 2018.
