GE Capital has announced its plans to acquire The Signature Group. GE Capital is already a partial owner of The Signature Group, and as a result of this acquisition, they will have full ownership of all The Signature Group products, including Signature LegalCare.

Please note that this acquisition will have no effect on 1999 rates and benefits for UC's Signature LegalCare plan.

The Signature Group is a subsidiary of Montgomery Ward, but was not a part of Ward's 1997 general bankruptcy filing.
