If I owned Provident shares prior to the merger, do I need to turn in my stock certificates for new certificates in Unum Group?
A.Yes. Provident stockholders need to exchange their common stock for certificates representing ownership in UnumProvident. The conversion ratio for the exchange is based on the ratio set at the time of the merger of Unum Corporation and Provident Companies. UnumProvident shares acquired or held are then subject to a one-for-one conversion to Unum Group shares. If you have any questions about this process, please call 1-800-718-8824 or 423-294-1661. Q.
