Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 22, 2016, UTG, Inc. acquired 300,000 shares of its outstanding common stock (over 8% of the outstanding stock) from entities controlled by Mr. Eric Oliver. The acquisition of the shares was made under the Company's stock buy-back program. The purchase was for a total of $4,350,000 or $14.50 per share. The purchase will be made through one third paid in cash at time of acquisition with the other two thirds through promissory notes. The notes require principal payments of one half of the note value to be paid one year from the date of purchase and the other one half to be paid two years from the date of purchase. The notes bear interest at 0%.
The purchase was determined through private negotiations. The Board of Directors approved the purchase and its terms and additionally approved an increase in the stock buy-back program of $4,500,000 to accommodate the purchase at a special meeting.
