MADISON, Wis. - s4story -- With the approval of National Guardian Life Insurance Company's (NGL) Board of Directors, its policyholders and the Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance, NGL has converted to a mutual holding company, effective January 1, 2026. The regulatory and policyholder approval converts the organization to a stock insurer and a subsidiary of the mutual holding company.

In June 2025, after thoughtful consideration and strategic planning, NGL filed a plan with the Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance to form a mutual holding company.

Restructuring as a mutual holding company enhances NGL's ability to grow, innovate and serve customers better, while preserving the core values that come with being a mutual insurance company. Policyholders will maintain ownership and control of the insurance holding company while providing NGL greater financial flexibility.

"NGL's purpose is to deliver on our promises across generations with collaboration and compassion. We seek to nurture a vision of success rooted in those promises," said Celentano. "We are proud to carry our legacy of integrity, dependability and financial strength forward with a new name. NGL Insurance Company, reflects who we are today and where we're going tomorrow."
