AMERICAN PHYSICIANS INSURANCE EXCHANGE


By:		/s/ Norris C. Knight
Name: Norris Knight, M.D. Title: Chairman of the Board

I am pleased and excited to announce that the Board of Directors of American Physicians Insurance Exchange (the “Exchange”) has adopted a plan of conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”) providing for the conversion of the Exchange from a reciprocal exchange to a Texas stock insurance company (the “Conversion”). In addition, the Board of Directors of the Exchange has also adopted a Merger Agreement (the “Plan of Merger”) in which the newly converted Texas stock insurance company will merge (the “Merger”) with a wholly owned subsidiary of American Physicians Service Group, Inc. (“APSG”), a publicly traded Texas corporation. The Conversion along with the Merger is collectively referred to as the “Plan”. I have included the press release announcing the Merger with this letter for your review.

The Exchange has filed the Plan and required documentation for review and approval by the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Texas (the “Commissioner”). The Plan is available for review on our web site at www.apie.us, but terms of the Plan may change as a result of the Commissioner’s review. If the Commissioner approves the Plan, the Exchange will then submit the Plan for approval by the Exchange’s Eligible Subscribers¹ as defined in the Plan of Conversion.

If you were a subscriber with an in force policy with the Exchange on June 1, 2006 (the “Adoption Date”) and if the Plan is approved, you will be an “Eligible Subscriber”² entitled to vote on the Plan at a special meeting of the Exchange’s Subscribers. However, in order to receive consideration in the Merger you must hold an in force policy with the Exchange at the closing date. If the Commissioner approves the Plan, the Exchange will send you a copy of the Plan as approved by the Commissioner along with other information and notify you of the date, time and place of a special meeting of the Subscribers to vote on the Plan.

In addition, as an Eligible Subscriber you are entitled to provide comments regarding the Plan while it is being reviewed by the Texas Department of Insurance.

Any comments you wish to make should be in writing. Comments may be submitted to the Exchange at the following:

The Exchange will promptly provide the Texas Department of Insurance with a copy of any written comments received by the Exchange. If you want to send comments directly to the Texas Department of Insurance, those comments can be sent to the following:

Eligible Subscribers are those policyholders who have a signed Subscribers Agreement & Power of Attorney providing rights in the Exchange including the right to vote on this Plan and are under an in force policy on the Adoption Date.

Other Eligible Insureds as defined in the Plan of Conversion are also included in this mailing, but are not entitled to vote for the Conversion since this group of insureds does not have an executed Subscribers Agreement and Power of Attorney giving them the right to vote. However, Other Eligible Insureds will receive consideration in the transaction. Other Eligible Insureds include those former subscribers that either earned (Death, Disability or Retirement) or paid for extended reporting endorsement (“tail”) during the last three years and Physician Extenders (CRNAs, Nurse Practitioners, etc) that are currently paying premium to the Exchange.

The Commissioner may hold a public hearing. If a hearing is held, the Exchange will provide you with no less than 30 days’ notice of the date, time, and location.

This letter provides you with background information regarding some of the reasons that the Board of Directors of the Exchange chose to pursue the Plan and a summary of the key provisions of the Plan that was approved by the Board.

American Physicians Insurance Exchange (“APIE” or the ”Exchange”) is a reciprocal exchange. The Exchange was organized in the State of Texas on November 23, 1975 and commenced operations on June 1, 1976. It is licensed as a multiple-line insurer under the provisions of the Texas Insurance Code. A reciprocal exchange is an organization under which policyholders (subscribers) effectively “exchange” insurance contracts and thereby insure each other and become members of the Exchange. As required by Chapter 942 of the Texas Insurance Code, the Exchange is managed by its attorney-in-fact, APS Facilities Management, Inc. (“FMI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of APSG, and is subject to the supervision of the Exchange’s Board of Directors.

APIE writes professional liability insurance coverage for physician groups, individual physicians and other healthcare providers in the states of Texas and Arkansas. Most of the Exchange’s coverage is written on a “claims-made and reported” basis. The coverage is provided only for claims that are first reported to the Exchange during the coverage period and that arise from occurrences during the coverage period. The Exchange also provides extended or “tail” coverage available for purchase in order to cover claims that arise from occurrences during the coverage period, but that are first reported to the Exchange after the coverage period and during the term of the applicable tail coverage.

The Exchange has provided medical malpractice insurance to physicians for 30 years and has demonstrated the ability to sustain and grow through the many cycles of the market. During this period of time, there have been numerous medical professional liability crises whereby carriers have entered the market only to quickly leave or raise rates substantially leaving physicians scrambling for coverage. The Exchange has consistently provided stability and dependability of coverage for the markets it serves.

The Board has spent considerable time and effort in carefully researching and exploring alternatives for growth to continue to strengthen the Exchange and continue to provide stability to marketplace, as in years past. As a reciprocal exchange, the Exchange cannot access capital through stock offerings. The Board believes that the Plan will allow the Exchange to continue to prosper through its ability to access capital through public markets and that the policyholders will benefit from outside capital, in addition to what is being generated by its stand-alone financial performance.

Several medical malpractice companies operating in other states have converted to stock companies for the purpose to access capital to support growth and provide financial stability. The Board views access to capital as a component for the Exchange to grow and to compete in a changing marketplace. Additional capital will only further strengthen the Exchange and provide a platform for growth by increasing market capacity. Furthermore, the Board anticipates that the Plan, if approved, will allow the Exchange to pursue and eventually achieve meaningful ratings with A.M. Best and other rating agencies. The Exchange believes the ability to achieve a meaningful A.M. Best rating will further enhance the converted company to write insurance for more medical professionals that may be required to purchase insurance from a Best rated carrier.

While the Exchange intends to convert to a Texas stock insurance company, it does not intend to change the overall philosophy of how services are provided to policyholders. The current physician members of the Exchange’s Board of Directors will continue to be very involved in all areas of the insurance business including claims, underwriting, and risk management. Under the Plan as approved by the Board, insured physicians will continue to have the opportunity to meet with the physician members of the Board of Directors through a Physician Liaison Committee.

The Board believes that approval of this Plan will enhance the ability of the Exchange to continue as a reliable, stable insurance market for physicians. The Exchange will also continue to maintain the high quality of services and insurance products for physicians. The Exchange is committed to maintaining its philosophy – “Physicians for Physicians” within the fabric of the company.

This letter constitutes notice of (i) the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors of the Exchange, (ii) filing of the Plan for review and approval by the Commissioner, and (iii) your right to provide comments regarding the Plan to the Exchange and the Commissioner.

Please note that you are not being requested to vote on the Plan at this time. If the Plan is approved by the Commissioner, the Exchange will send you a copy of the Plan as approved by the Commissioner along with other information and notify you of the date, time and place of a special meeting to vote on the Plan.

We look forward to receiving any comments you may have on the Plan. It is requested that comments be provided within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter.

Should you have any additional questions for the Exchange with regard to the Plan, please feel free to contact the Exchange at (800)252-3628.
