History^[2]

The Company was incorporated on September 13, 1935, under the laws of the State of North Dakota as the “Lincoln Mutual Health and Accident Insurance Association,” writing only accident and health insurance.

New Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws were adopted on December 27, 1946, changing the Company’s corporate structure to comply with amended Chapter 26-08 of the North Dakota Revised Code of 1943. The Company’s name was also changed to Lincoln Mutual Life and Casualty Insurance Company.

In 1951, the Company acquired the business of the following two entities through merger: Mid-Continental Mutual Life of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the National United Mutual Life Insurance Company of Fargo, North Dakota. The Company later acquired the Education Mutual Benefit Association of Aberdeen, South Dakota, by means of a 1957 merger.

Leadership

J Scott Koltes was the last president from the original company structure, prior to the association with Noridian/Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota in 1995. With Koltes' retirement in 2001, the position was taken over by Larry Zich, Lincoln Mutual's CFO at the time and previously an actuary for Pioneer Mutual Life Insurance Company.
