OneAmerica® Unveils its Newly Renovated Gibson Building

Indianapolis - September 12, 2007

OneAmerica Financial Partners, Inc. along with Mayor Bart Peterson, opened the doors to the recently renovated Gibson Building during a ribbon-cutting ceremony today. The event marked the completion of a $10 million renovation project to enhance the building’s appearance and efficiency for nearly 180 American United Life Insurance Company® (AUL) employees, prospective tenants and the downtown community.

“The renovation of this historic building represents an investment in our great city of Indianapolis, an investment in our 1300 home office employees and an investment in OneAmerica’s future,” said Dayton H. Molendorp, OneAmerica chairman, president and CEO.

The renovation that began in April 2006 included a number of heating and cooling improvements. Most notably, a raised floor was installed to accommodate a more efficient heating, cooling and electrical distribution. The exterior of the building was left in tact with all the historic windows replaced to simulate the original windows. The columns, decorative caps, ceiling and freight elevator also remain in tact. The five-story, 125,000 square foot building has 22,000 square feet of first-floor retail space.

"Great things are happening in Indianapolis," said Mayor Bart Peterson. "The investment in this historic building is evidence of a strong and growing company with a genuine commitment to those who live, work and visit our city."

Built in 1916 by the Gibson Company, the building was used as a manufacturing facility for 25 Empire automobiles. The Julian family purchased the building in 1971 to be used as an auto parts distribution center until 1985, when the building was purchased by AUL.
