KEMPER CORPORATION

                                   KEMPER
                                STOCKHOLDERS
                                   BEWARE


          GENERAL ELECTRIC HAS FINALLY DISPLAYED ITS TRUE COLORS!!

GE has tried to insist all along that the GE slate was nominated solely to
serve your interests as Kemper stockholders.  But GE's threat to withdraw
their proposal if GE doesn't get its way confirms that their nominees have
only one agenda -- to force the sale of Kemper at GE's inadequate $55 price
- -- and to serve only one master, General Electric, with its selfish
objective of depriving you of Kemper's potential.

                  THINK ABOUT IT -- WHO SHOULD YOU TRUST?

Kemper has consistently stated its confidence that Kemper's restructuring
efforts will lead to values in excess of GE's hostile bid.  We underscored
our conviction with the pledge to you announced yesterday.

In contrast, GE apparently will say anything to get what it wants.

In March, GE's message was, "We are fully committed, as an institution, to
proceeding with a transaction that could create maximum value for Kemper's
employees, customers and shareholders."

Last week, GE's message was "We have the money available to pay for any
price we agree to."

This week's message: $55 or Nothing!

                        DO NOT BE BULLIED OR FOOLED

GE says Kemper stockholders must decide now if you want to sell your
Company for the inadequate share price of $55.  Do you really want to force
a sale at GE's low-ball price?

The real issue is:  Who Should Reap the Rewards of Kemper's Successful
                    Restructuring -- General Electric or You?
