Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR) and Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation (NASDAQ: IPCC) today announced that the anticipated deadline for Infinity shareholders to elect the form of merger consideration they will receive pursuant to the previously announced merger agreement under which Kemper will acquire Infinity, is 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Monday June 18, 2018.

The election deadline may be changed, in which case Infinity and Kemper will issue a press release announcing the new election deadline. The closing of the merger remains subject to the fulfillment or waiver of certain closing conditions, including receipt of insurance regulatory clearances and approvals. Infinity shareholders who hold shares through the Infinity Employee Stock Purchase Plan or through a bank, broker, trust company or other nominee may be subject to an earlier election deadline and should carefully review any materials received in connection with their Infinity shares for instructions regarding the election of merger consideration.

As previously announced, Infinity shareholders can elect to receive, without interest and subject to any required withholding of taxes, (i) mixed consideration equal to a combination of $51.60 in cash and 1.2019 shares of Kemper common stock for each Infinity share held, (ii) stock consideration equal to 2.0031 shares of Kemper common stock for each Infinity share held or (iii) cash consideration equal to $129.00 for each Infinity share held. All elections for stock consideration and cash consideration are subject to potential proration and adjustment as set forth in the merger agreement and election materials.

Infinity shareholders failing to make a valid election by the election deadline will be deemed to have elected to receive the mixed consideration with respect to all of their Infinity shares. Infinity shareholders should consult their tax advisors for a full understanding of the tax consequences of exchanging Infinity shares for the mixed consideration, cash consideration or stock consideration.

The documents necessary for Infinity shareholders to make an election as to the type of merger consideration to be received were mailed starting on or about April 30, 2018 to Infinity shareholders of record as of April 20, 2018. Infinity shareholders may request copies of these election documents and direct any questions regarding the election materials or the election deadline to Georgeson LLC by calling (800) 868-1391. Infinity shareholders holding shares through a bank, broker, trust company or other nominee should contact their bank, broker, trust company or other nominee, as applicable, to obtain copies of the election documents.

To make an election, Infinity shareholders must deliver to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the exchange agent for the transaction, prior to the election deadline, a properly completed election form together with their Infinity stock certificates, if any, a confirmation of book-entry transfer, or a properly completed notice of guaranteed delivery. Infinity shareholders should carefully read all the election materials provided to them before making their election.
