Fremont Michigan InsuraCorp Announces New $7 Million Business Loan Agreement

FREMONT, Mich., Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Fremont Michigan InsuraCorp, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: FMMH), the holding company for Fremont Insurance Company, a Michigan-exclusive property and casualty insurance carrier, today announced the closing of a new $7 million unsecured line of credit with The Huntington National Bank.  

"We are pleased with the new level of flexibility this credit agreement affords Fremont," said Richard E. Dunning, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Although we do not see an immediate need to access the credit line, it provides an avenue for pursuing future growth initiatives or acquisitions, should the opportunity arise.  Over the past year, we have received approvals to expand into our neighboring states of Wisconsin and Indiana and are constantly looking for ways to improve our products and operations.  Our ability to access this new credit line will support these efforts and follows the recent affirmation of our A- rating from A.M. Best.  These two developments validate the efforts of the Fremont team to remain financially strong and fiscally responsible during a year characterized by ongoing economic challenges in the insurance industry and in our markets across Michigan."  

Borrowings under the agreement will bear an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5 percent. The agreement expires one year from signing and provides for annual renewals thereafter.  Fremont will file a copy of the business loan agreement as an exhibit to a Form 8-K with the SEC, which will be available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
