              MICHIGAN NATIONAL ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF SELF TENDER
                 OFFERS AS PART OF BROAD RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVE


         FARMINGTON HILLS, Michigan, December 5, 1994 -- Michigan
         National Corp. (MNCO) today announced that its self tenders
         were completed at 5:00 P.M., Friday, December 2, 1994.  The
         corporation expects to purchase 2,166,050 shares of its common
         stock or approximately 14% of the shares outstanding as of
         December 2, 1994, and 294,847 of the Cancelable Mandatory Stock
         Purchase Contracts ("Contracts").

         The self tenders are part of a strategic restructuring,
         consisting of three major components, developed to enhance
         shareholder value.  As the corporation previously announced,
         its first step is to refocus on its strong Michigan banking
         business.  Primary emphasis is being placed on growing the
         middle market commercial franchise, upscale and mass market
         groups and strong fee generating businesses.  Implementation of
         this strategic focus has resulted in the sale, or the
         initiations of efforts to sell, all non-Michigan subsidiaries
         and the mortgage servicing portfolio and operations of the
         corporation's mortgage banking subsidiary.  The investment in
         these businesses, in the aggregate, generated and internal rate
         of return of 18% for shareholders and largely provided the
         capital required for the tender offers.  The second component
         is to improve the efficiency and profitability of the Michigan
         banking business.  Previously announced Project Streamline is
         expected to improve pretax profits by $85 million and
         significantly improve the corporation's efficiency ratio, the
         benchmark for measuring efficiency in the banking industry.
         "Project Streamline will also enhance customer service," said
         Douglas E. Ebert, chief operating officer.  "Service will now
         be specifically tailored to customer needs."  The tender offers
         are part of the third component - to reposition the
         corporation's balance sheet to increase return on equity by
         redeploying that portion of the capital not necessary to
         support the core Michigan banking business.  Robert J. Mylod,
         chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We are confident
         of our ability to successfully complete these initiatives.
         They are expected to significantly improve return on equity and
         earnings per share."

         The current equity position of the corporation permits it to
         repurchase additional shares of common stock or Contracts from
         time and time in open market or privately negotiated
         transactions.  Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act
         prohibits the corporation from repurchasing additional common
         stock or Contracts for ten business days following completion
         of the tender offers.<PAGE>







         The corporation preliminary expects to purchase 2,166,050
         common shares or about 42% of the shares tendered at the $78
         per share purchase price.  As provided in the common stock self
         tender, the corporation increased the number of shares sought
         in the offer by 307,400 (approximately 2% of the outstanding
         shares.)

         The determination of the actual purchase price and final
         proration factor for the common stock is subject to final
         confirmation of proper delivery of shares tendered and not
         withdrawn, including shares tendered by the guaranteed delivery
         procedure.  Payment for shares accepted for payment and return
         of all shares tendered but not accepted for payment will occur
         as soon as practicable after determination of the final
         proration factor.

         Based on a preliminary count, the corporation will purchase
         294,847 Contracts which were properly tendered and not
         withdrawn.  All Contracts properly tendered have been accepted
         for payment.

         Michigan National Corp. is a diversified financial services
         corporation headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan.  It
         has 188 branches in Michigan and total assets of $9.2 billion.
