Euclid Insurance Agencies, LLC. Acquires Florida Office of Rodes - Roper - Love Insurance Agency

ITASCA, Ill., Dec. 19, 2007 -- Euclid Insurance Agencies, LLC., of Melbourne, Florida, a subsidiary of Euclid Insurance Services, Inc. (http://www.euclidinsurance.com/), of Itasca, Illinois, has announced the acquisition of the Melbourne, Florida office of Rodes - Roper - Love Insurance Agency (http://www.rodesroperlove.com/), a leading commercial insurance agency that specializes in serving the public bus and limousine industries.

The acquisition further strengthens Euclid's presence in the transportation insurance sector while leveraging Rodes - Roper - Love's dominance in the public bus and limousine industry classes. Rodes - Roper - Love will continue to operate under its current name but now as a division of Euclid Insurance Agencies, LLC. Rodes - Roper - Love staff will relocate to Euclid's Melbourne, Florida office sometime in mid-January.

Thanks to the additional risk management, loss control and claim services offered by Euclid's commercial lines division, existing Rodes - Roper - Love customers can expect a greater depth of available services focusing on their specific needs. Together, Euclid and Rodes - Roper - Love have the capacity to place business with most of the major insurance companies that underwrite public bus and limousine risks.

"This acquisition complements Euclid's existing transportation niche," said John Colis, President and CEO of Euclid. "The combined resources of our two organizations will benefit both our customers and our insurance company partners."
