(NYSE: PFX) announced today that Pilgrim will extend the opportunity for shareholders to vote on the proposed acquisition of Pilgrim by ReliaStar Financial Corp. (NYSE: RLR) until Friday, Oct. 29. The voting period was previously scheduled to close Oct. 26.

On Tuesday, Oct. 26, Pilgrim will hold its previously scheduled special shareholder meeting to vote on the transaction and communicate the extension. The deal is expected to close directly following the close of the voting period. The Pilgrim board met with ReliaStar management Oct. 24 and made the decision to extend the shareholder meeting in consultation with ReliaStar, according to Robert Stallings, chairman and CEO of Pilgrim. "Pilgrim's board of directors previously recommended that Pilgrim shareholders approve the acquisition and that recommendation remains unchanged," Stallings said.

We expect to hit the ground running immediately following shareholder approval." With headquarters in Minneapolis, Minn., ReliaStar Financial Corp. is the eighth largest publicly held life insurance holding company based on revenues. Pilgrim manages, markets and distributes open- and closed-end mutual funds and structured finance products representing $7.7 billion in assets under management. Pilgrim began investment operations in April 1995.
