Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 33-8216, the following information is furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Item 12, “Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
On September 4, 2013, The National Security Group, Inc. (the "Company") sold 2,739 acres, of investment real estate consisting of timber property in Coffee, Crenshaw, and Pike counties in Alabama. The property is collectively included in the reference to "timber property" held by the Company and securing a line of credit in the Company's most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2013, and subsequent filings on Form 10-Q.
Under the terms of the transaction, substantially all of the proceeds will repay bank debt incurred in connection with last year's Mobile Attic litigation and settlement related expenses. More specifically, a $4,000,000 bank line of credit, plus accrued interest, will be repaid along with an outstanding balance of $200,000 associated with a second bank line of credit which was set to mature in January. The investment real estate had a carrying value of $1,350,000 and, after all expenses associated with the sale, the Company will realize a pre-tax gain of approximately $3,000,000.
