The Acquisition Will Increase the Company’s Leverage as a Nationwide Insurance Benefits Provider

Renaissance Life & Health Insurance Company of America (Renaissance America), a member of the Renaissance family of companies, announced today it has assumed all the business of its affiliate, Renaissance Life & Health Insurance Company (RLHIC), which is based in Indiana.

“This assumption allows us to provide insurance benefits throughout the U.S. and enhance our product offerings, strengthening our position as a nationwide benefit provider,” said Dr. Phil Wenk, president of Renaissance Holding Company. “We will continue to look for ways to better ensure the health of our members as well as provide them value-added services, like the Renaissance Value Card.”

New for 2007, Renaissance America has enhanced the Renaissance Dental benefit offerings to include posterior composite fillings and dental implants as standard benefits, and the Renaissance Value CardSM for all subscribers at no additional cost. The Value CardSM features access to discounts for vision, pharmacy and hearing through relationships with EyeMed®, Caremark® and Beltone™, respectively. It also includes access to Passport DentalSM, a referral service to help facilitate access to English-speaking dentists when traveling abroad.

Along with these changes, Renaissance has switched to the DenteMax provider network, a network with more than 72,000 dental access points in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
