Pan-American Life Insurance Company Continues to Build on Financial Results in 2007

Business Wire, Feb 27, 2008

A $25 Million Increase in Total Sales and $21.1 Million Contribution to Surplus Highlight Another Year of Sustained Growth

NEW ORLEANS -- Pan-American Life Insurance Company reported today that the company achieved statutory revenues of $275 million, and $21.1 million in contribution to surplus during 2007. The gains attained in the past year build on the record levels reached during 2006, and place the company's total capital at an all-time high of $331 million.

In its first year operating under a new mutual holding company structure - the Pan-American Life Insurance Group - the company also recorded an increase of $25 million in sales, nearing $146 million. The 21 percent increase in total sales was spurred by strong gains in Latin American group sales - 27% higher than 2006 - and US worksite products - a 36% increase in premiums.

"The restructure of our sales team during 2007 has produced impressive results across most of our business divisions, and sets the stage for continued growth going forward," said Jose S. Suquet, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of Pan-American Life. "More importantly, our investment strategy limited our exposure to sub-prime loans and collateralized debt and loan obligations, which has insulated us from the troubles affecting some companies in the financial sector."

Pan-American life's A.M. Best "A-" and Fitch "A" ratings remained unchanged from the prior year. A.M. Best also upgraded the company outlook rating to positive.
