Indianapolis, August 31, 2007

Baby boomers searching for a vehicle to supplement retirement income via a guaranteed income will be glad to know that American United Life Insurance Company® (AUL), a OneAmerica company has launched its new individual variable annuity (IVA) product. Voyage Protector comes with an option to purchase competitive lifetime guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (GMWB) riders (both individual and spousal) with withdrawals available as early as age 45.

“I’m excited to provide the market with this updated IVA product,” said Mark Wilkerson, senior vice president of AUL’s individual division. “I’m confident that Voyage Protector emerges with an improved competitive market position, offering features that reflect the needs of the marketplace.”

Among the many features of AUL’s individual variable annuity, Voyage Protector has Timothy Plan investment options that help align mutual fund investments with the customer’s individual values. “The Timothy Plan is an easy way for investors to direct their support of individual and personal values through their investments,” said Wilkerson.

In addition to the customer-focused enhancements, producers will find this new IVA product easy to understand and sell, with a quick and convenient online training tool developed especially with their needs in mind. Producers can learn about this new product where and when they choose in about 30 minutes.

Voyage Protector replaces AUL’s former IVA product, StarPoint. StarPoint will remain available until Voyage Protector gains state approval. At present, Voyage Protector is approved in 36 states.
