Board of Directors
Fremont Michigan InsuraCorp, Inc.

Freemont, Michigan 49412

Dear Board Members:

The Steak n Shake Company (''Steak n Shake") currently owns 9.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Fremont Michigan InsuraCorp, Inc. ("Fremont"). Steak n Shake hereby declares its willingness to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Fremont that it does not already own, through an appropriate acquisition entity by tender offer and/or merger (the "Transaction"), for $24.50 per share (the "Purchase Price"). 50% of the Purchase Price would be paid in cash, and 50% would be paid in shares of the common stock of Steak n Shake. Stockholders of Fremont would be given an opportunity to elect to receive the Purchase Price in cash, shares of Steak n Shake, or a combination thereof, so that the consideration will be subject to proration if the elections do not equal 50% cash and 50% stock. Our offer is not subject to any financing contingency.
 
We believe our proposal provides the best means for stockholders of Fremont to realize the value of their shares by allowing them to exchange their shares for cash and/or for a more liquid security of a diversified holding company that trades on the NYSE. As you know, unlike Steak n Shake’s shares, those of Fremont trade infrequently and in very little volume on the OTC Bulletin Board.
 
Our proposal is subject to obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals and a waiver from Fremont on its anti-takeover provisions.
 
Furthermore, we want all members of the management team, other than the CEO, to remain in place. We are willing to discuss employment agreements with the other members of management because we believe they will play an integral role in the new ownership structure.
 
We welcome meeting with members of Fremont’s Board or its representatives as soon as is practicable.

 
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ Sardar Biglari
Sardar Biglari
Chairman of the Board
