Item 8.01   Other Events

On March 31, 2010, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“Florida OIR”) approved a capital infusion of $10 million into Federated National Insurance Company ("Federated National"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of 21st Century Holding Company (the "Company").  The $10 million infusion consists of $5 million from 21st Century Holding Company and a $5 million Subordinated Surplus Debenture (“Surplus Note”) from American Vehicle Insurance Company (AVIC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  The complete terms of this capital infusion, which will include a limitation on the Company’s ability to pay future dividends, are currently under discussion with the Florida OIR.  Federated National is authorized to underwrite homeowner's property and casualty insurance in Florida as an admitted carrier.  Demotech, Inc., a ratings agency, has since affirmed Federated National’s “A” rating.
