FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FARM FAMILY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
SUBMITS APPLICATION FOR DEMUTUALIZATION
Glenmont, NY, November 1, 1995 - Farm Family Mutual Insurance
Company announced today that it has submitted an Application to
the Superintendent of the New York Insurance Department for
permission to convert from a mutual property/casualty insurance
company to a stockholder owned company.
Farm Family sells farmowners, automobile, homeowners,
businessowners and other insurance products. The Company's
principal purpose for the demutualization is to position the
Company to improve its access to the capital markets, which will
enable the Company to enhance its existing business and develop
business opportunities related to its present business.
As part of the demutualization, a holding company will be
formed and the Company's policyholders will receive common stock
in the holding company and/or cash in exchange for their
membership interest in the Company.
The submission of the Application to the Superintendent
represents the first step in the demutualization process which
will require the approval of the New York Insurance Department
as well as the Company's policyholders prior to demutualization.
The Company expects that the demutualization process will be
concluded in the second quarter of 1996.
