Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported, Bancinsurance Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary Ohio Indemnity Company (collectively, the "Company"), entered into an arbitration proceeding in 2004 with Harco National Insurance Company ("Harco"), one of the insurance carriers that participated in the discontinued bond program. In August 2006, the Harco arbitration panel issued its Final Award and Order ordering each of the reinsurers participating in the arbitration, including the Company, to pay its proportionate share of past and future claims paid by Harco, subject to certain adjustments, offsets and credits (the "Final Order").

On January 11, 2010, the Company entered into a written settlement agreement with Harco resolving all liabilities and obligations (including any potential future liabilities and obligations) between the Company and Harco relating to the discontinued bond program and the Final Order. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had reserved $1,885,895 for Harco. As a result of the settlement, the Company reduced its reserve to $1,450,000 which will result in an increase in pre-tax income of $435,895 ($287,690 after tax) during the fourth quarter of 2009.
