THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT AN OFFER TO PURCHASE OR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO SELL ANY SECURITIES.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Swiss Re Treasury (US) Corporation ("SRTUS"), incorporated as a corporation with the office of the Secretary of State of Delaware, is offering to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 4.25% Senior Notes due 2042 guaranteed by Swiss Reinsurance Company Ltd (the "2042 Notes Guarantor") (the "2042 Notes") validly tendered on or before the Any and All Expiration Date (the "Any and All Tender Offer").

In addition, Swiss Re America Holding Corporation ("SRAH", together with "SRTUS", "we", "us" "our" or the "Companies" and each a "Company"), incorporated as a corporation with the office of the Secretary of the State of Delaware, is offering to purchase for cash Capped Tender Offer Notes (as defined below) up to an amount corresponding to a combined aggregate Total Consideration and/or Late Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, (each as defined below) (in each case excluding Accrued Interest) payable in respect of Capped Tender Offer Notes validly tendered equal to U.S.$500 million less the aggregate Total Consideration (excluding Accrued Interest) applied in connection with the Any and All Tender Offer (the "Capped Maximum Amount") in the following order of priority:

• in the first instance, to the extent the Capped Maximum Amount has not been exceeded, 7.75% Senior Notes due 2030 issued by SRAH (the "2030 Notes") which are validly tendered on or before the Early Tender Date (as defined below);
• in the second instance, to the extent the Capped Maximum Amount has not been exceeded, 7.00% Senior Notes due 2026 issued by SRAH (the "2026 Notes", together with the 2030 Notes, the "Capped Tender Offer Notes") which are validly tendered on or before the Early Tender Date;

The offers to purchase the Capped Tender Offer Notes are herein referred to as the "Capped Tender Offers" and each a "Capped Tender Offer". The Capped Tender Offers together with the Any and All Tender Offer are herein referred to as the "Offers" and each an "Offer".

It is anticipated that the Any and All Settlement Date for the 2042 Notes will be November 28, 2022, the third business day after the Any and All Expiration Date.

Concurrent with and in the same announcement of the results of the Any and All Tender Offer by SRTUS, SRTUS will announce the Capped Maximum Amount.

Holders of Capped Tender Offer Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 30, 2022 (the "Early Tender Date") and accepted for purchase will be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration. SRAH will accept such Capped Tender Offer Notes validly tendered up to the Capped Maximum Amount, subject to the Acceptance Priority Level and proration, at or prior to the Early Tender Date provided that all conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase have been satisfied or waived by SRAH and such accepted Capped Tender Offer Notes will be settled promptly thereafter (the "Capped Tender Offers Early Settlement Date"). It is anticipated that the Capped Tender Offers Early Settlement Date will be December 2, 2022, the second business day after the Early Tender Date.

Each Capped Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 14, 2022, or any other date and time to which SRAH extends such Capped Tender Offer (such date and time, as it may be extended with respect to a Capped Tender Offer, the "Capped Tender Offers Expiration Date"). The withdrawal deadline for the Capped Tender Offer will be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, November 30, 2022 (the "Capped Tender Offer Withdrawal Deadline"), unless extended by SRAH. Holders of any Capped Tender Offer Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but prior to or at the Capped Tender Offers Expiration Date and that are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Late Tender Offer Consideration (as defined below). SRAH will accept such Capped Tender Offer Notes validly tendered up to the Capped Maximum Amount, subject to the Acceptance Priority Level and proration, at or prior to the Capped Tender Offers Expiration Date provided that all conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase have been satisfied or waived by SRAH and such accepted Capped Tender Offer Notes will be settled promptly thereafter (the "Capped Tender Offers Final Settlement Date"). It is anticipated that the Capped Tender Offers Final Settlement Date for the Capped Tender Offer Notes will be December 16, 2022, the second business day after the Capped Tender Offers Expiration Date.

The "Total Consideration" payable for each series of Notes will be a price per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of such series of Notes equal to an amount, calculated in accordance with Appendix B of the Offer to Purchase and with reference to the Any and All Settlement Date or Capped Tender Offers Early Settlement Date, as applicable, that would reflect a yield to the applicable maturity date, of such series of Notes equal to the sum of (i) the Reference Yield (as defined below) for such series, determined at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the Any and All Expiration Date in the case of the Any and All Tender Offer and 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the business day following the Early Tender Date in the case of the Capped Tender Offers plus (ii) the fixed spread applicable to such series, as set forth in the tables above (the "Fixed Spread"). The "Reference Yield" means the bid side yield to maturity, determined in accordance with market convention, of the applicable U.S. Treasury reference security listed in the tables above (the "Reference Security") for such series, based on the bid price for the relevant Reference Securities as reporting on the relevant Bloomberg Reference Page (that appears in the two tables above) at the applicable price determination date, as the case may be. The sum of the Fixed Spread and the Reference Yield is referred to as the "Repurchase Yield". The Total Consideration, as calculated using the Fixed Spread for each series of Capped Tender Offer Notes set forth in the second table above, includes the Early Tender Payment. Holders of any Capped Tender Offer Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but prior to or at the Capped Tender Offers Expiration Date and that are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration minus an amount in cash equal to the applicable amount set forth in the second table above under the heading "Early Tender Payment" (the "Early Tender Payment").

In addition to the Total Consideration or the Late Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, all Holders of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from, and including, the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Any and All Settlement Date, the Capped Tender Offers Early Settlement Date or the Capped Tender Offers Final Settlement Date (each as defined below), as applicable ("Accrued Interest"), payable on the Any and All Settlement Date, the Capped Tender Offers Early Settlement Date or the Capped Tender Offers Final Settlement Date (each, a "Settlement Date"), as applicable.
