Item 8.01.                      Other Events.

On July 9, 2010, The Amacore Group, Inc. (the “Company”) shut down its U.S. Health Benefits Group Division (“USHBG”). USHBG has historically operated as an inbound lead generation telemarketing operation primarily marketing major and limited medical benefit plans. For the year ending December 2008, USHBG had revenues of $4.2 million and a net loss of $6.7 million.  For the year ended December 2009, USHBG had revenues of $4.2 million and a net loss of $5.4 million.  Factors that led to this decision were the continued operating losses of the division and the increased operating cash requirements of the division due to recent contract terminations.

All employees of USHBG all independent sales agents have been terminated.  The Company has made severance payments to such employees and agents of approximately $60,000.  Currently, the Company is negotiating the termination and severance for USHBG’s president.
