On November 10, 2011, Trinity Life Insurance Company (“Trinity Life”), a wholly owned subsidiary of First Trinity Financial Corporation (“the Company”), commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) by filing a Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Offer is for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $1.00 par value, of Family Benefit Life Insurance Company (“FBL”), a Jefferson City, Missouri life insurance and annuity company, for $11.05 per share net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. The Offer is subject to the condition that the shares tendered together with
the shares owned by Trinity Life constitute a majority of issued and outstanding common stock of FBL. The Board of Directors of FBL has unanimously (i) determined that the Offer is advisable, fair to and in the best interest of FBL and the shareholders of FBL and (ii) resolved to recommend that the holders of shares of FBL common stock accept the Offer and tender their shares to Trinity Life pursuant to the Offer.
As previously reported by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 19, 2011, the acquisition of control of FBL by Trinity Life was approved by the Director of the Missouri Department of Insurance on October 14, 2011. As previously reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 24, 2011, on October 20, 2011, Trinity Life and FBL signed an agreement pursuant to which Trinity Life would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of FBL.
The terms and conditions of the Offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the Schedule TO filed by the Company.
