PAUL EXPECTS $25 to $30 MILLION IN LOSSES FROM MAY 30 STORM IN MINNESOTA AND THE MIDWEST The St. Paul Companies (NYSE:SPC) today announced that damage from the May 30 storm that hit parts of Minnesota and the Midwest is expected to result in pretax catastrophe losses ranging from $25 million to $30 million. Most of the losses are expected to come from commercial and personal insurance customers in the Twin Cities metropolitan area who have received extensive wind damage to their property. "This storm has had a devastating effect on our policyholders, particularly since it came just two weeks after a similar storm. We are working as quickly as possible to help these people get on with their lives," said Douglas W. Leatherdale, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Personal Insurance customers who experienced a loss in the May 15 storm will not have to pay an additional deductible on their policy if they experienced a loss in the May 30 storm. The St. Paul Companies, headquartered in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is a group of companies providing property- liability insurance products and services worldwide. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized. THE ST.
