		Fireside Bank®, based in Pleasanton, California, was engaged in the automobile finance business. Fireside Bank is organized under California law as an industrial bank and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). Unitrin announced on March 24, 2009, that Fireside Bank suspended all new lending activity as part of a plan to exit the automobile finance business. The exit plan envisions an orderly wind-down of Fireside's operations over the next several years. Fireside will continue to collect outstanding loan balances and make interest payments and redemptions on outstanding certificates of deposit in the ordinary course of business.
