Conseco Receives Upgrade From A.M. Best Co.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov 7, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Responding to news that A.M. Best
has upgraded its financial strength rating to A- (Excellent) from B++ (Very
Good), Conseco (NYSE:CNC) today said that it was pleased to have this affirming
news.

The upgrade was termed "very welcome, but not surprising" by Conseco Chairman &
CEO, Gary Wendt. "We have great confidence in our turnaround plan, and it is
gratifying to have it affirmed by such an important third party."

The return of Conseco's rating to A- (Excellent) satisfies early a covenant in
Conseco's recently amended bank debt agreements
. That covenant required the
company to achieve the A- rating by March 31, 2001.

"This is good news for all of our insurance business units," said Wendt. "It
will eliminate concerns in our independent distribution channel and should have
a positive effect on margins."

"We are still in a turnaround situation," said Wendt, "but this is one more big
boulder removed from our path to a New Conseco."
