Letter from Larry J. Newsom

Dear Colleague:  

By combining the strengths, resources and capital of our life and dental companies:  Fort Dearborn Life Insurance Company; Medical Life Insurance Company; Colorado Bankers Life Insurance Company and Dental Network of America, Inc. (“DNoA”), are positioned to be leading national providers of insurance, financial products, and dental services.  Today, the Preferred Financial Group (PFG) ranks number one nationally among group life insurers in terms of group life insurance contracts and DNoA services over 2 million people nationwide.  

These achievements would not be possible without our employees whose expertise within the insurance, financial products and dental industries has helped us deliver exceptional service to our customers.  The trust that our customers place in us is the foundation of our success and the reason we are in business.  

All employees of PFG and DNoA can take great pride in this success and our outstanding reputation since each of you has helped earn this reputation and you keep earning it every day, in every thing that you do.  It is a visible demonstration of our commitment to a high level of ethics and integrity.  

Vince Lombardi said “you don’t do things right once in a while; you do them right all of the time.”  Here at PFG and DNoA, doing the right thing is what our clients and business partners expect and what we require of each other each and every day.  As you review this Code, I ask for your personal commitment to adhere not only to the integrity standards but also to our values of integrity, responsibility, mutual respect and corporate citizenship by placing corporate concerns and issues above personal gain, by coming forward when questions arise, by never sacrificing ethical behavior to achieve business goals, and by always doing the right thing.  

Sincerely,
 

Larry J. Newsom

President, Life & Subsidiary Operations
