IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

A note from Duane Sanders, President, Kemper Property & Casualty

I’m excited to share the news that today we announced that Kemper has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. We hope to close the transaction in the third quarter of 2018, subject to approvals by insurance regulators and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Together with Alliance United, Kemper Specialty, and Kemper Specialty California, the acquisition of Infinity will allow us to increase our breadth and better serve nonstandard private passenger auto customers. For now, it is business as usual up to and after the transaction closes. Once the transaction closes, the businesses will continue to operate separately.

This news gives me an opportunity to underscore our continued commitment to Kemper’s Preferred lines of business. As we move into the profitable growth phase of our strategy, our Preferred business plays a key role in meeting our customer’s needs and delivering stable results, and is a key part of our long-term plans. We’ll continue to focus on releases of Kemper Prime to offer competitive pricing, enhanced marketability, and an improved customer experience through our new sales and service technology platform. Our dedication to supporting your ability to be successful and serve your customers has not changed.
