ITEM 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans

(a) Investors Heritage Capital Corporation is the Plan Sponsor for the IHCC Retirement Savings Plan and Trust (the “Plan”).  Effective March 31, 2011, Investors Heritage will transfer the investment services for the Plan from Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Company to The Principal Financial Group.  As a result, certain trading activities will be paused during the blackout period beginning March 31, 2011 and will remain paused until the week of April 24, 2011.  Notice containing the information specified in Rule 104(b) of Regulation BTR has been given to the directors and executive officers of Investors Heritage that they are prohibited from trading in Investors Heritage securities during the blackout period.  This prohibition also includes any Investors Heritage securities held outside of the Plan.  Therefore, during the blackout period, a director’s or executive officer’s ability to purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or transfer an interest in any equity security of Investors Heritage will be temporarily suspended. During the final week of the blackout period and for a period of two years after the ending date of the blackout period, security holders and other interested parties may obtain, without charge, the actual beginning and ending dates of the blackout period by calling the Corporate Secretary, Investors Heritage Capital Corporation, 1-800-422-2011 ext. 1009.
