Alabama (September 12, 2006)</B> &#150; Alfa Corporation (NASDAQ:ALFA) today announced that it has executed a Plan of Conversion with Virginia Mutual Insurance Company (Virginia Mutual). Under the agreement, Virginia Mutual plans to convert from a
mutual company to a stock company and simultaneously merge with a wholly owned subsidiary of Alfa Corporation. As a result of this mutual conversion, Virginia Mutual&#146;s excess surplus will be distributed to eligible policyholders and Alfa
Corporation will recapitalize the business in a new subsidiary, Alfa Alliance Insurance Corporation. Virginia Mutual and Alfa companies have participated in a Strategic Affiliation Agreement since August&nbsp;10, 2001. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Plan of Conversion is subject to the approval of the Virginia State Corporation Commission and the Virginia Mutual policyholders. Pending these approvals, the
participants have a target completion date of January&nbsp;1, 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Alfa&#146;s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jerry A. Newby, said,
&#147;We have made great strides in the operations at Virginia Mutual and now must prepare for the future. A major step in this plan is to create an environment that is favorable for capitalizing and expanding this business as we move forward. To
date, the Alfa companies have worked with Virginia Mutual through a quota share arrangement while also supporting their balance sheet with surplus debentures. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Alfa Corporation, this newly merged company will have
access to Alfa Corporation&#146;s total capital pool. These products will be marketed as Alfa Insurance to take advantage of Alfa&#146;s brand as we continue our future expansion.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
