ELBA, ALABAMA (July 23, 2013)…On July 19, 2013, the Board of Directors of The National Security Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:NSEC), declared a quarterly dividend of $0.025 per share. This cash dividend is payable on August 30, 2013, to shareholders of record August 12, 2013.

Our subsidiaries remain capitalized at levels that have not adversely impacted our ability to operate. However, in order to rebuild capital levels in our property and casualty subsidiary, it is necessary that our dividend policy remain flexible.
