            ------------

            On July 7, 1997, Integon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
            "Company"), entered into an Amendment to Agreement and Plan of
            Merger (the "Amendment") with General Motors Acceptance Corporation,
            a New York corporation ("GMAC"), and IC Purchasing Corp., a Delaware
            corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of GMAC ("Merger Sub"),
            providing that Merger Sub be formally added as a party to the
            Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 23, 1997, between the
            Company and GMAC (the "Merger Agreement") and addressing certain
            other matters.

            Company held by its subsidiaries will remain outstanding following
            the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

            A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is
