Old Kent Extends Record with 1999 Earnings Increase

- Diluted Operating EPS of $2.26 for the Year and $.60 for the Fourth Quarter -

Grand Rapids, Michigan -- Old Kent Financial Corporation made 1999 its forty-first year of consecutive increases in per share earnings and dividends. Mr. David Wagner, Chairman, President and CEO, described the achievement as "a solid finish to a year filled with accomplishment and growth for Old Kent.''

Year ended December 31, 1999:

Excluding charges related to acquisitions completed by Old Kent in both 1999 and 1998:

    *  Diluted operating earnings per share was $2.26, a 15.3% increase over
       1998.

    *  Operating earnings were $270.1 million, or 10.3% more than last year.

    *  Total revenues (taxable equivalent basis) increased 9.7%, excluding
       security gains.

    *  Noninterest revenues grew 18.2% and represented 37.5% of total revenues
       compared to 34.8% for 1998.

    *  Return on average total equity was 21.46%, compared to 18.31% for 1998.

    *  Return on average total assets was 1.49%, up from 1.38% for 1998.

    *  Commercial loans grew by $1.1 billion, or 18.9%, and consumer loans
       increased $1.0 billion, or 39.8%.

    *  Credit quality improved; net loan losses were 0.20% of average total
       loans, compared to 0.40% for 1998.

After-tax merger related charges recognized by the Corporation were $17.6 million (or $.15 per share) in 1999 and $19.7 million (or $.15 per share) in 1998. Inclusive of these charges, diluted earnings per share was $2.11 for 1999, 16.6% more than 1998. Net income for 1999 was $252.5 million, up 12.1% from net income of $225.3 million for 1998.

Mr. Wagner stated that "Profitable growth best summarizes our accomplishments this past year. Old Kent has grown its franchise, acquiring two banking organizations and announcing two other mergers that will close in early 2000. Old Kent achieved growth in net interest income while also significantly boosting noninterest revenues. Strong loan growth in our loan portfolios has favorably influenced net interest income and help offset the industry wide margin pressures created by rising interest rates.''

"The significant growth in our loan portfolio coming from new customers will benefit future periods as we cultivate more extensive relationships with these clients. We continue to develop a true performance culture across the organization which, when combined with our growing markets, will be the fundamental driver of superior performance at Old Kent,'' Wagner added.



Quarter ended December 31, 1999:

Excluding the impact of merger related charges recognized in the fourth quarter of 1998:

    *  Diluted earnings per share was $.60, a 15.4% increase compared to the
       same period in 1998.

    *  Net income was $71.2 million, or 12% more than last year's fourth
       quarter.

    *  Return on average total equity was 23.24%, compared to 19.03% for the
       fourth quarter of 1998.

    *  Return on average total assets was 1.59%, up from 1.41% for the
       preceding year's same period.

    *  The net interest margin was 4.25%, down from 4.33% in the third quarter
       of 1999 and up from 4.06% for the quarter ended December 31, 1998.

    *  Non-interest revenues were 38.1% of total revenues compared to 35.6%
       for the final quarter of 1998.

    *  The efficiency ratio was 57.76% on a consolidated basis and 50.19% for
       Old Kent's banking businesses.

    *  Net loans charged off were $9.2 million, or 0.32% of average loans,
       compared to $11.6 million, or 0.45% of average loans, for the three
       month period ended December 31, 1998.

Revenues

Total (taxable equivalent basis) revenues, excluding security transactions and non-recurring items, increased by 9.7% to $1.1 billion in 1999. Total noninterest revenues, exclusive of security transactions, were $416.8 million in 1999, 18.2% greater than last year. Net interest income rose by 5.1% to $693.9 million on a fully taxable equivalent basis. The net interest margin for 1999 was 4.20% compared to 4.04% for 1998. These increases were largely the result of improvements in the Corporation's mix of interest earning assets related to growth in commercial and consumer loans. The increase in noninterest income was attributable to ongoing efforts aimed at building fee based revenues. In 1999, these fee based revenues represented 37.5% of total revenues, up from 34.8% in 1998.

Old Kent's mortgage banking business performed well during 1999 with a 28% increase in total revenues. This improvement was largely due to the lower interest rate environment during the first six months of the year which enabled strong residential loan production volume, particularly mortgage refinancings. During 1999, Old Kent Mortgage Company ("OKMC'') originated approximately $12.1 billion of residential mortgages, down from $13.5 billion in 1998 when interest rates were generally lower throughout the entire year. Interest rate increases during the last half of 1999 had the effect of dramatically reducing the demand for refinancing and negatively impacted revenues related to mortgage loan origination. The rate increases had the opposite effect on mortgage servicing revenues, as prepayment levels slowed, strengthening the value of Old Kent's mortgage servicing right assets ("MSRs''). At December 31, 1999, the market value of MSRs was $323 million, well above their carrying value of $275 million. In response to slowdowns in mortgage demand precipitated by the higher rates, Old Kent Mortgage Company has been adjusting its production capacity accordingly. At December 31, 1999, Old Kent had 147 nationwide mortgage lending sites and 2,778 employees, compared to 167 such sites and 3,014 employees at June 30, 1999, when OKMC was at its peak capacity.

Investment management and trust revenues totaled $73.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an 11.4% increase over last year. The increase is attributable to the effects of aggressive business development efforts along



with expanded product and service offerings. These included: additional choices in the Corporation's proprietary family of mutual funds, The Kent Funds, along with specialized advisory services in Old Kent's trust function. Deposit account revenues increased by 8.3% to $69.7 million in 1999. This increase included the results of programs which were designed to establish deeper relationships with our depository customers. Old Kent increased the average profit per household by 3.3% during 1999. Insurance sales commissions rose by 14.2% to $23.3 million. All other revenues increased by $7.2 million, or 13.2% reflecting a variety of positive results which included additional income associated with increased ATM installations in Old Kent's service area and greater brokerage commissions linked to a business expansion by Old Kent Securities Corp.

Expenses:

Exclusive of merger related charges, noninterest expenses totaled $660.5 million for 1999, or 10.1% more than last year. This increase was largely related to revenue growth initiatives throughout the Corporation, as described above. Old Kent's consolidated efficiency ratio was 59.5% for 1999, compared to 59.9% for the prior year. For Old Kent's banking business, the efficiency ratio for 1999 improved to 53.0% from 55.6% for 1998. The efficiency ratio expresses how much of each revenue dollar is used to pay operating expenses. The improvement in this ratio reflects both revenue growth and enhanced economies of scale related to Old Kent's successful integration of the businesses it has acquired.

Asset Quality:

The provision for credit losses was $26.2 million for 1999, substantially lower than the $47.2 million for 1998. Net loan losses for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $21.6 million, or 0.20% of average total loans. This compares favorably to net loan losses of $40.3 million, or 0.40% of average total loans for 1998. At December 31, 1999, the allowance for credit losses was 1.53% of total loans. Nonperforming assets were $65.5 million at December 31, 1999, or 0.36% of total assets, down from $72.5 million, or 0.39% of total assets, at December 31, 1998. The Corporation experienced improvements in virtually all credit quality indicators throughout the year.

Stock Repurchase Program:

As of December 31, 1999, the Corporation had completed the repurchase of 1.5 million shares of its common stock under a June 1999 authorization allowing for the repurchase of 3 million shares of its common stock within the ensuing year. As in prior programs, shares are to be acquired ratably on a quarterly basis for use in future stock dividends and for issuances related to the Corporation's dividend reinvestment and employee stock plans.
