Item 8.01. Other Events

First Trinity Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") and Gregg Zahn, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, on July 19, 2013, filed a petition in the District Court for Tulsa County, Oklahoma (CJ-2013-03385), against Wayne Pettigrew and Group & Pension Planners, Inc, ("GPPI"), an entity Mr. Pettigrew controls, as defendants. Mr. Pettigrew was a Director of the Corporation until he resigned effective May 1, 2013. His resignation was the subject of the Form 8-K filed by the Corporation on April 15, 2013, and the Form 8-K/A filed by the Corporation on April 17, 2013.

The Petition states that while serving on the Board of Directors and after his resignation, Mr. Pettigrew engaged in a campaign to portray Mr. Zahn and the Corporation in a false light through letters and press releases. Mr. Zahn was accused by the defendants of violating securities laws and regulations, past criminal behavior in another company and domination of the Board of Directors.

The Petition states that Mr. Pettigrew breached his fiduciary duty to the Corporation by making the false statements. The Petition also states that the defendants published defamatory statements concerning Mr. Zahn and the Corporation and that the defendants intentionally interfered with the Corporation's and Mr. Zahn's business relationships and prospective business relationships. The Petition also includes causes of action for fraud, deceit and outrage. The Petition seeks actual damages in an amount to exceed $75,000 and punitive damages.
