                                                             November 26, 1997

                   INTEGON CONSENT SOLICITATION PERIODS EXPIRE


For Immediate Release

November 26, 1997 -- Integon Corporation announced that as of 5:00 p.m. New York
City time,  on  November  25, 1997 it has  received  consents  and tenders  from
registered holders  representing more than a majority in principal amount of its
8% Senior  Notes due 1999 and 9 1/2%  Senior  Notes due 2001,  and a majority in
liquidation  amount  of the 10 3/4%  Capital  Securities,  Series  B of  Integon
Capital I, a Delaware  business  trust  (collectively,  the  "Securities").  The
Securities   are  subject  to   concurrent   cash  tender   offers  and  consent
solicitations, which commenced on November 12, 1997.

Following the expiration of the consent  solicitation  periods at 5:00 p.m., New
York City time,  on November 25, 1997,  Integon  Corporation  shall  execute the
supplemental  indentures  reflecting  the proposed  amendments to the Indentures
governing the Securities.  These  amendments  substantially  modify or eliminate
restrictive  covenants in the Indentures,  and they will become operative if and
when Integon Corporation  purchases the Securities upon completion of the tender
offers.  Holders of untendered Securities will be bound by the amendments if and
when they become operative.

As previously  announced,  the tender  offers will expire at midnight,  New York
City time, on Wednesday,  December 10, 1997, unless extended. Holders may tender
their Securities  until such expiration  time.  Security holders must consent to
the proposed amendments in order to validly tender. Holders tendering after 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on November 25, 1997,  will not be entitled to receive
the consent  payment.  Payments  will be paid on the third trading day following
the expiration of the applicable tender offer.

Morgan  Stanley  Dean  Witter  is the  dealer  manager  for the  tender  offers.
Questions  regarding  the terms of the tender  offers may be forwarded to Morgan
Stanley  at  800-624-1808.  Copies of the offer  documents  may be  obtained  by
calling D.F. King & Co. at 800-290-6424.

This news release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer
to sell  securities.  The tender  offers are only made  pursuant to the offering
documents.
