Northwestern Mutual Pledges Financial Support to Severe Weather Recovery

Effort in the Midwest

Financial Security Company Provides Disaster Relief Funds to American Red

Cross

MILWAUKEE, June 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwestern Mutual is reaching out to

help its clients and other victims of recent flooding and tornado damage in

the Midwest. The Milwaukee-based financial security company has made an

immediate impact on the relief effort through a $75,000 grant from the

Northwestern Mutual Foundation to the American Red Cross Central States Flood

and Tornadoes Relief Fund. The fund provides relief in Illinois, Indiana,

Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Wisconsin.

"The Midwest has been our home for more than 150 years," said Edward J. Zore,

Northwestern Mutual president and CEO. "The destruction of these storms and

floods touches our employees and many of our financial representatives and

clients in direct way. We hope our efforts will help families focus on

recovering and rebuilding."

Service enhancements for flood and storm victims

Knowing the disruption Northwestern Mutual clients are enduring as they may

be displaced from their homes and businesses, the company has temporarily

extended the grace period for life, disability income and long-term care

insurance policies that would otherwise lapse due to delayed payments. This

applies to clients in Iowa and in counties in Illinois and Indiana that have

been declared disaster areas. Northwestern Mutual will work with clients to

determine payment options to meet special needs.

Clients who may have a change of address, need to change electronic funds

transfer directions, or have other service needs are asked to contact their

financial representatives or call the Northwestern Mutual customer service

area at 1-800-388-8123.

On behalf of the Northwestern Mutual family

"From the beginning of these recent storms and through this time of recovery,

I know many of our employees and financial representatives have donated their

own time and money to disaster relief," Zore continued. "This company

donation is made on behalf of all the members of the Northwestern Mutual

family who always give so generously in time of need."

The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, Milwaukee, WI, a FORTUNE 500

company with over $1 trillion of life insurance protection in force, has been

helping its policyowners and clients achieve financial security for more than

150 years. The company maintains the highest available ratings for insurance

financial strength from all four major rating agencies: Standard & Poor's,

Fitch Ratings, A. M. Best and Moody's.
