Wells Fargo Bank has been selected as the new recordkeeper under the Kansas City Life Insurance Company Savings and Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”), which will result in a blackout period with respect to participants’ accounts in the Plan. During the blackout period, transactions involving Kansas City Life Insurance Company’s (“KCL”) common stock under the Plan will not be permitted. The blackout period is currently expected to begin at 3 p.m. Central Time on June 26, 2012 and end during the week of July 16, 2012.

On May 25, 2012, KCL received the notice required by Section 101(i)(2)(E) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and, on that date, in accordance with Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of Regulation BTR promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a notice was sent to KCL’s directors and executive officers informing them of the blackout period and certain trading restrictions in KCL’s equity securities that will be imposed on directors and executive officers during the blackout period. Such notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, includes the information required by Rule 104(b) of Regulation BTR, and is incorporated herein by reference.
