American Mutual Life was renamed AmerUs Life Insurance Company in 1995. On September 20, 2000, it demutualized to become AmerUs Group. Shares of AmerUs Group common stock, cash and policy credits were distributed beginning July 31, 2001, to eligible members of Indianapolis Life Insurance Company, in connection with the demutualization of Indianapolis Life and its concurrent combination with AmerUs Group in May 2001.
Demutualization is the process of converting a mutual life insurance company, owned by its policyholders, to a publicly traded stock company owned by shareholders, pursuant to a plan of conversion approved by government regulators.
The amount paid to each policyholder is based on a number of factors, including length of time the policy has been in force, face value of the policy, and total premiums paid. For many policyholders, the windfall arising from demutualization can be substantial, but millions of missing policyholders and heirs aren't aware they are entitled to receive compensation.
