Forward-Looking Statements
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. Our statements, trend analyses and other information contained in these
materials relative to markets for Conseco’s products and trends in Conseco’s operations or financial results, as well as other statements,
contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements typically are identified by the use of terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,”
“intend,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “contemplate,” “possible,” “attempt,” “seek,” “should,” “could,” “goal,” “target,” “on track,” “comfortable with,”
“optimistic” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. You should consider statements that
contain these words carefully because they describe our expectations, plans, strategies and goals and our beliefs concerning future business
conditions, our results of operations, financial position, and our business outlook or they state other ‘‘forward-looking’’ information based on
currently available information. Assumptions and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated in our forward-looking statements include, among other things: (i) our ability to continue to satisfy the financial ratio and balance
requirements and other covenants of our debt agreements; (ii) liquidity issues associated with the right of holders of our convertible debentures
to require us to repurchase existing debentures on September 30, 2010; (iii) general economic, market and political conditions, including the
performance and fluctuations of the financial markets which may affect our ability to raise capital or refinance existing indebtedness and the
cost of doing so; (iv) our ability to generate sufficient liquidity to meet our debt service obligations and other cash needs; (v) our ability to obtain
adequate and timely rate increases on our supplemental health products including our long-term care business; (vi) the receipt of any required
regulatory approvals for dividend and surplus debenture interest payments from our insurance subsidiaries; (vii) mortality, morbidity, the
increased cost and usage of health care services, persistency, the adequacy of our previous reserve estimates and other factors which may
affect the profitability of our insurance products; (viii) changes in our assumptions related to the cost of policies produced or the value of policies
in force at the effective date of our emergence from bankruptcy; (ix) the recoverability of our deferred tax asset and the effect of potential
ownership changes and tax rate changes on its value; (x) our assumption that the positions we take on our tax return filings, including our
position that the debentures will not be treated as stock for purposes of Section 382 of the Code and will not trigger an ownership change, will
not be successfully challenged by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS); (xi) changes in accounting principles and the interpretation thereof; (xii)
our ability to achieve anticipated expense reductions and levels of operational efficiencies including improvements in claims adjudication and
continued automation and rationalization of operating systems; (xiii) performance and valuation of our investments, including the impact of
realized losses (including other-than-temporary impairment charges); (xiv) our ability to identify products and markets in which we can compete
effectively against competitors with greater market share, higher ratings, greater financial resources and stronger brand recognition; (xv) the
ultimate outcome of lawsuits filed against us and other legal and regulatory proceedings to which we are subject; (xvi) our ability to complete the
remediation of the material weakness in internal controls over our actuarial reporting process and to maintain effective controls over financial
reporting; (xvii) our ability to continue to recruit and retain productive agents and distribution partners and customer response to new products,
distribution channels and marketing initiatives; (xviii) our ability to achieve eventual upgrades of the financial strength ratings of Conseco and
our insurance company subsidiaries as well as the impact of rating downgrades on our business and our ability to access capital; (xix) the risk
factors or uncertainties listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (xx) regulatory changes or actions,
including those relating to regulation of the financial affairs of our insurance companies, such as the payment of dividends and surplus
debenture interest to us, regulation of financial services affecting (among other things) bank sales and underwriting of insurance products,
regulation of the sale, underwriting and pricing of products, and health care regulation affecting health insurance products; and (xxi) changes in
the Federal income tax laws and regulations which may affect or eliminate the relative tax advantages of some of our products. Other factors
and assumptions not identified above are also relevant to the forward-looking statements, and if they prove incorrect, could also cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected. All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their
entirety by the foregoing cautionary statement. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. We assume no obligation to
update or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, future events or
developments, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting the forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Measures

This presentation contains the following financial measures that differ from the comparable measures
under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP): operating earnings measures; book value,
excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) per share; operating return measures;
earnings before net realized investment gains (losses) and corporate interest and taxes; debt to capital
ratios, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss); and interest-adjusted benefit ratios.
Reconciliations between those non-GAAP measures and the comparable GAAP measures are
included in the Appendix, or on the page such measure is presented.

Management believes that an analysis of income (loss) before net realized investment gains (losses), net of
related amortization (a non-GAAP financial measure), is important to evaluate the financial performance of
our business, and is a measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. Management uses this
measure to evaluate performance because realized gains or losses can be affected by events that are
unrelated to a company’s underlying fundamentals. The table on Page 11 reconciles the non-GAAP measure

Management believes that an analysis of income (loss) before net realized investment gains (losses), net of
related amortization (a non-GAAP financial measure), is important to evaluate the financial performance of
our business, and is a measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. Management uses this
measure to evaluate performance because realized gains or losses can be affected by events that are
unrelated to a company’s underlying fundamentals. The table on Page 11 reconciles the non-GAAP measure
to the corresponding GAAP measure. See Appendix for a reconciliation of the return on equity measure to
the corresponding GAAP measure.

Information Related to Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following provides additional information regarding certain non-GAAP measures used in this presentation. A non-GAAP measure is a
numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are normally excluded
or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. While management believes these
measures are useful to enhance understanding and comparability of our financial results, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered
as substitutes for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Additional information concerning non-GAAP measures is included in our
periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are available in the “Investor - - SEC Filings” section of Conseco’s website,

Operating earnings measures
Management believes that an analysis of net income applicable to common stock before net realized gains or losses, discontinued operations
and increases to our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (“net operating income,” a non-GAAP financial measure) is important to
evaluate the performance of the Company and is a key measure commonly used in the life insurance industry. Management uses this measure
to evaluate performance because realized investment gains or losses, discontinued operations and increases to our valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets are unrelated to the Company’s continuing operations.

Book value, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, per share
This non-GAAP financial measure differs from book value per diluted share because accumulated other comprehensive income has been
excluded from the book value used to determine the measure. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful because it
removes the volatility that arises from changes in accumulated other comprehensive income. Such volatility is often caused by changes in the
estimated fair value of our investment portfolio resulting from changes in general market interest rates rather than the business decisions made
by management.

This non-GAAP financial measure also differs from return on equity because accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) has been

In addition, our equity includes the value of significant net operating loss carryforwards (included in income tax assets). In accordance with
GAAP, these assets are not discounted, and accordingly will not provide a return to shareholders (until after it is realized as a reduction to taxes
that would otherwise be paid). Management believes that excluding this value from the equity component of this measure enhances the
understanding of the effect these non-discounted assets have on operating returns and the comparability of these measures from period-to-
period. Operating return measures are used in measuring the performance of our business units and are used as a basis for incentive
compensation.
