Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 17, 2014, Fidelity & Guaranty Life (the “Company”) announced that the Company’s Board of Directors had set February 11, 2015 as the date of the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders. The Board of Directors also set the close of business on December 15, 2014 as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting. Because the Company has not held an annual meeting of shareholders since the completion of its initial public offering in December 2013, in accordance with Rule 14a-8(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company has set October 28, 2014 as the deadline for the receipt of any shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials relating to the annual meeting. In order for a proposal under Rule 14a-8 to be timely, it must be received by the Company’s Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company by October 28, 2014, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before the Company’s proxy statement is due to be printed and mailed. Such proposals must also comply with the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws and other applicable laws.
