Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR) announced today that it has entered into an accelerated share repurchase transaction (“ASR”) under an agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to repurchase $150 million of its outstanding common stock. The ASR will be completed under Kemper’s previously announced $550 million share repurchase authorizations.

"This accelerated share repurchase reflects our strong confidence in the business and our disciplined approach to creating shareholder value,” said Joseph P. Lacher, Jr., President and CEO. “We believe our shares are undervalued, and this transaction represents a compelling use of capital. We remain focused on executing our balanced capital deployment strategy, utilizing resources to support long-term value creation."

Under the ASR agreement, on August 14, 2025, Kemper will pay $150 million to Goldman Sachs and expects to receive an initial delivery of 2,279,203 shares of Kemper common stock, representing a significant majority of the shares of Kemper common stock it expects to repurchase under the ASR agreement. The total number of shares to be repurchased pursuant to the ASR agreement will be based on the volume-weighted average price of Kemper common stock on specified dates during the term of the ASR agreement, less a discount, and subject to customary adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR agreement.

The transactions under the ASR agreement are expected to be completed within approximately three months.
