      REVENUE GROWTH DRIVES OLD KENT EARNINGS FOR SECOND QUARTER 1998

     GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN   --   Old Kent Financial Corporation reported
diluted earnings per share of $.52 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 (as
adjusted for the effect of a 5% stock dividend to be paid July 17, 1998.)
Excluding security transactions and non-recurring items, this represented a
22% increase in diluted earnings per share over the second quarter of 1997.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $50.0 million
compared to $52.8 million for the same period in 1997 (which included a
one-time $10.6 million after-tax gain on sale of credit card loans.) The
returns on average total equity and average total assets were 20.47% and
1.43% respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. Excluding the
effect of the large credit card sale gain, last year's second quarter
return on average equity was 16.67% and the return on average total assets
was 1.28%.

     David Wagner, Chairman, President and CEO, said "revenue growth was
the main-stay of Old Kent's improvement in core earnings." Excluding non-
recurring items and security transactions, second quarter 1998 total
revenues were 10% more than in the year-ago quarter. Non-interest revenues
increased by 30% from the second quarter of 1997 and represented 40% of
total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 33%
for the same period last year. Mortgage banking revenues increased to
$36.9 million, up nearly 50%. Trust and investment management fees were
15% more. Deposit account revenues were up 19% and all other non-interest
revenues increased by 14%. Net interest income increased modestly due to
changes in earning asset mix which included a decrease in total loans.
The decrease was the result of residential mortgage loan runoff and the
implementation of strategies aimed at improving profitability by exiting
or altering certain consumer lending activities.





<PAGE>
     Mr. Wagner stated that Old Kent's pending acquisition of First
Evergreen Corporation was on track to be consummated in the fourth quarter
of 1998. He added that, as of June 30, 1998, Old Kent had completed the
6 million share stock repurchase program authorized in June 1997. The
Corporation also initiated repurchases pursuant to a June 1998
authorization which permits the repurchase of up to 6 million shares by
July 1999. As in past programs, most of the shares repurchased under this
most recent authorization are intended for use in connection with
anticipated future stock dividends under a plan of quarterly, ratable
reacquisition.
