ITEM 8.01. Other Events.

Transactions to Liquidate Security National Life Insurance Company of Louisiana
and Capital Reserve Life Insurance Company

On December 31, 2009, Security National Life Insurance Company of Louisiana ("Security National Life of Louisiana") entered into an Assumption Reinsurance Agreement with Security National Life Insurance Company ("Security National Life") to reinsure the remaining in force business of Security National Life of Louisiana to Security National Life to the extent permitted by the Louisiana Department of Insurance.  The Louisiana Department of Insurance approved the Assumption Reinsurance Agreement on December 2, 2009.

As a result of the Assumption Reinsurance Agreement, all of the insurance business and operations of Security National Life of Louisiana, including assets and liabilities, were transferred to Security National Life, as reinsurer, as of December 31, 2009.  Thus, $3,189,000 in statutory assets and liabilities were transferred from Security National Life of Louisiana to Security National Life pursuant to the Assumption Reinsurance Agreement.  In addition, Security National Life of Louisiana entered into an Assignment dated December 31, 2009 with Security National Life to assign and transfer to Security National Life all of the assets and liabilities that remained following the transfer of assets and liabilities pursuant to the Assumption Reinsurance Agreement.

The liquidation of Security National Life of Louisiana was completed as of December 31, 2009 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Complete Liquidation to liquidate Security National Life of Louisiana into Security National Life.  The Board of Directors of both Security National Life of Louisiana and Security National Life approved a plan of liquidation as of September 18, 2009. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Complete Liquidation, Security National Life of Louisiana was liquidated into Security National Life in essentially the same manner as the liquidation described in Private Letter Ruling 9847027 in order to achieve the same tax treatment and consequences under Section 332 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and other applicable provisions described in such Letter Ruling.  During 2010, Security National Life plans to take appropriate legal action to dissolve Security National Life of Louisiana in accordance with Louisiana law.

Also, effective as of December 31, 2009, Security National Life exercised its right of recapture pursuant to the Reinsurance Agreement effective as of November 30, 2008, between Capital Reserve Life Insurance Company ("Capital Reserve") and Security National Life in which Security National Life recaptured all of the previously reinsured liabilities under the Reinsurance Agreement.  As a result of the recapture, Security National Life is primarily liable for the liabilities on the insurance contracts and annuities originally issued by Capital Reserve to its policyholders.  The assets transferred by Capital Reserve to Security National Life pursuant to such recapture have a fair market value of $4,895,000,  which was equal to the assumed liabilities.

In addition, Capital Reserve entered into an Assignment dated December 31, 2009 with Security National Life to assign and transfer to Security National Life all of the assets and liabilities that remained following the recapture, except for Capital Reserve's corporate charter, insurance licenses, and $1,681,000 in statutory capital and surplus, which will allow Capital Reserve to preserve its corporate existence in Missouri.   During 2010, Security National Life plans either to sell the corporate charter, licenses, and capital and surplus of Capital Reserve to an unrelated business entity or to dissolve Capital Reserve in accordance with Missouri law.

The purpose of Security National Life exercising its right of recapture pursuant to the 2008 Reinsurance Agreement was so that the $4,895,000 in statutory assets and liabilities of Capital Reserve could be transferred to Security National Life by December 31, 2009 in accordance with the terms of the plan of liquidation between Capital Reserve and Security National Life.  On December 4, 2009, Capital Reserve and Security National Life entered into an Agreement and Plan of Complete Liquidation to liquidate Capital Reserve into Security National Life in the same manner as the liquidation described in Private Letter Ruling 9847027 in order to achieve the same tax treatment and consequences under Section 332 of the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended, and other applicable provisions described in such Letter Ruling.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF COMPLETE LIQUIDATION OF
SECURITY NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF LOUISIANA
INTO SECURITY NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY


THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF COMPLETE LIQUIDATION (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective this 18th day of September 2009, by and between SECURITY NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF LOUISIANA, a Louisiana domiciled insurance company, formerly known as Paramount Security Life Insurance Company (“Security National Life of Louisiana”) and SECURITY NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a Utah corporation ("Security National Life").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, on March 16, 2004, Security National Life completed the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of Security National Life of Louisiana and, as a result, Security National Life of Louisiana became a wholly owned subsidiary of Security National Life;

WHEREAS, both corporations are involved in the same line of business, and it has been determined by the Boards of Directors of both Security National Life of Louisiana and Security National Life that it will be more efficient and profitable to have Security National Life of Louisiana liquidated into Security National Life;

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of both Security National Life of Louisiana and Security National Life do for said reasons and for the general welfare of said corporations and their respective stockholders, deem it advisable that Security National Life of Louisiana be liquidated into Security National Life; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement has been approved and authorized by resolutions adopted by the sole shareholder of Security National Life of Louisiana and the directors of each party.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for the purposes of setting forth and prescribing the terms and conditions of such complete liquidation and the manner of carrying the same into effect, the parties hereto do hereby adopt the following plan of complete liquidation and agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

Section 1

It is intended that Security National Life of Louisiana be liquidated into Security National Life in essentially the same manner as the liquidation described in Private Letter Ruling 9847027 in order to achieve the same tax treatment and consequences under Section 332 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and other applicable provisions described in said Letter Ruling.

Section 2

The liquidation of Security National Life of Louisiana and transfer of its business to Security National Life shall be accomplished as follows:

 
 

 
 
(1)           Prior to December 31, 2009, but after the date of adoption of this Agreement, Security National Life shall exercise its right of recapture pursuant to Article II, Section 3 of the Reinsurance Agreement dated November 30, 2008, between Security National Life and Capital Reserve to recapture all of the policies and risks reinsured under that Reinsurance Agreement and, as a result, Security National Life will become primarily liable for the liabilities on the insurance contracts and annuities originally issued by Capital Reserve to its policyholders.  The assets transferred to Security National Life pursuant to such right of recapture shall have a fair market value equal to the assumed liabilities.

(2)           Simultaneously with the transfer of assets and liabilities made pursuant to the recapture in paragraph (1) above, all of the other assets of Capital Reserve not transferred in such recapture, as they exist at that time (except for Capital Reserve’s corporate charter, insurance licenses, and the minimum capital, if any, including cash and investments necessary to preserve its corporate existence (“Retained Assets”)), shall be distributed by Capital Reserve to Security National Life, and Security National Life shall assume all of the liabilities of every kind and description of Capital Reserve existing at that time.  Security National Life has no plan or intention to dispose of such assets.  The fair market value of Capital Reserve’s assets transferred to Security National Life pursuant to the recapture will equal its liabilities (including any amounts owed to Security National Life) immediately prior to the Final Liquidating Distribution, as defined below.  After this distribution, Security National Life will continue to own all of the stock of Capital Reserve, and Capital Reserve will be a corporate shell holding only the Retained Assets.

(3)           The simultaneous distributions described in paragraphs (1) and (2) above of this Section 2 will constitute the “First Liquidating Distribution.”  Within twelve months of the First Liquidating Distribution, Security National Life will either (i) sell the Capital Reserve stock to an unrelated business entity, or (ii) distribute the remaining assets to Security National Life in complete liquidation of Capital Reserve, which will constitute the “Second Liquidating Distribution.”  After such distribution, Capital Reserve will cease to exist.

(4)           Security National Life will file the statement described in Treasury Regulations, Section 332-6(b) and, if applicable, both Security National Life and Capital Reserve will file the statement described in Treasury Regulations, Section 381(b)-1(b)(3).

(5)           In implementing this Agreement, Security National Life and Capital Reserve shall each be responsible to comply with all regulatory requirements applicable to it.

Section 3

Capital Reserve will make all deeds, conveyances, assignments, bills of sale or assurances as are necessary or desirable to vest in Security National Life the title to any property or rights of Capital Reserve or to evidence such vesting, and will do all things as may be necessary, proper or appropriate to accomplish same.  It is agreed and intended by the parties that all such deeds, conveyances, assignments, bills of sale and assurances will be executed and delivered as part of the liquidating distributions described in Section 2.

Section 4

This Agreement shall be signed on behalf of each party hereto by its President.  Each party to this Agreement agrees to comply with laws applicable to it in connection with this Agreement.

BASIS OF REINSURANCE

The parties intend to accomplish, where permitted, as soon as practicable with respect to each jurisdiction in which the Policies have been issued, transfers of the Company's contractual rights, obligations, liabilities and risks with respect to such Policies, with the result that the Reinsurer, as transferee, in all respects and conditions, shall succeed the Company as the insurer under the terms and provisions of each of such Policies, as though the Reinsurer had originally issued them, and to transfer to the Reinsurer, as administrator, full and complete responsibility for servicing and administering such Policies in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Assumption Reinsurance Agreement and the Policies. No additional monetary consideration shall be due from the Reinsurer to the Company or from the Company to the Reinsurer upon the assumption of any Policies, and no additional reserves shall be transferred by the Company to the Reinsure in connection therewith.

2.2.  Conditions of Reinsurance: Regulatory Approvals.  Consummation of the reinsurance contemplated by this Assumption Reinsurance Agreement with respect to any Policy is subject to and contingent upon receipt by the Reinsurer of all Required Assumption Approvals with respect to each Policy. The Reinsurer shall be responsible for obtaining all Required Assumption Approvals. Each party shall use its best efforts to assist the other party in obtaining the Required Assumption Approvals.

2.3.  Effect of Reinsurance.  The reinsurance effected by this Assumption Reinsurance Agreement shall create a Novation under all of the Assumed Policies in accordance with each of the terms and conditions thereof, and subject to all rights, privileges, defenses, offsets, cross-actions and counterclaims to which the Company would have been entitled had it continued to act as the insurer thereunder. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties to this Assumption Reinsurance Agreement that no such rights, privileges, defenses, offsets, cross-actions or counterclaims are waived by the execution of this Assumption Reinsurance Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, and that the Reinsurer shall be fully subrogated to all such rights, privileges, defenses, offsets, cross-actions and counterclaims. On the applicable Assumption Effective Date, the Reinsurer shall be the successor of the Company with respect to the Assumed Policy, and such Assumed Policy shall be the direct obligation of the Reinsurer, and the Company shall have no further rights or liability thereunder. The Policyholder and any persons insured under the Assumed Policy shall thereafter disregard the Company as a party to the Assumed Policy and treat the Reinsurer as if it had been originally obligated under the Assumed Policy. On and after the applicable Assumption Effective Date, the Policyholder and the insured or beneficiary under any Assumed Policy shall have the right to file claims for benefits under the Assumed Policy directly with the Reinsurer, and shall have a direct right of action against the Reinsurer therefor. Any payments for benefits made under any Assumed Policy by the Company prior to the applicable Assumption Effective Date shall be deemed to have been made by the Reinsurer for purposes of determining any maximum benefits payable under any of the Assumed Policies.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF COMPLETE LIQUIDATION OF
CAPITAL RESERVE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
INTO SECURITY NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY


THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF COMPLETE LIQUIDATION (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective this 4th day of December, 2009, by and between CAPITAL RESERVE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a Missouri domiciled insurance company (“Capital Reserve”), and SECURITY NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a Utah domiciled life insurance company ("Security National Life").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, on December 20, 2007, Security National Life completed the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of Capital Reserve and, as a result, Capital Reserve became a wholly owned subsidiary of Security National Life;

WHEREAS, both corporations are involved in the same line of business, and it has been determined by the Boards of Directors of both Capital Reserve and Security National Life that it will be more efficient and profitable to have Capital Reserve liquidated into Security National Life;

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of both Capital Reserve and Security National Life do for said reasons and for the general welfare of said corporations and their respective stockholders, deem it advisable that Capital Reserve be liquidated into Security National Life; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement has been approved and authorized by resolutions adopted by the sole shareholder of Capital Reserve and the directors of each party.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for the purposes of setting forth and prescribing the terms and conditions of such complete liquidation and the manner of carrying the same into effect, the parties hereto do hereby adopt the following plan of complete liquidation and agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

Section 1

It is intended that Capital Reserve be liquidated into Security National Life in essentially the same manner as the liquidation described in Private Letter Ruling 9847027 in order to achieve the same tax treatment and consequences under Section 332 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and other applicable provisions described in said Letter Ruling.

Section 2

The liquidation of Capital Reserve and transfer of its business and operations to Security National Life shall be accomplished as follows:

(1)           Prior to December 31, 2009, but after the date of adoption of this Agreement, Security National Life shall exercise its right of recapture pursuant to Article II, Section 3 of the Reinsurance Agreement dated November 30, 2008, between Security National Life and Capital Reserve to recapture all of the policies and risks reinsured under that Reinsurance Agreement and, as a result, Security National Life will become primarily liable for the liabilities on the insurance contracts and annuities originally issued by Capital Reserve to its policyholders.  The assets transferred to Security National Life pursuant to such right of recapture shall have a fair market value equal to the assumed liabilities.


 
 

 

(2)           Simultaneously with the transfer of assets and liabilities made pursuant to the recapture in paragraph (1) above, all of the other assets of Capital Reserve not transferred in such recapture, as they exist at that time (except for Capital Reserve’s corporate charter, insurance licenses, and the minimum capital, if any, including cash and investments necessary to preserve its corporate existence (“Retained Assets”)), shall be distributed by Capital Reserve to Security National Life, and Security National Life shall assume all of the liabilities of every kind and description of Capital Reserve existing at that time.  Security National Life has no plan or intention to dispose of such assets.  The fair market value of Capital Reserve’s assets transferred to Security National Life pursuant to the recapture will equal its liabilities (including any amounts owed to Security National Life) immediately prior to the Final Liquidating Distribution, as defined below.  After this distribution, Security National Life will continue to own all of the stock of Capital Reserve, and Capital Reserve will be a corporate shell holding only the Retained Assets.

(3)           The simultaneous distributions described in paragraphs (1) and (2) above of this Section 2 will constitute the “First Liquidating Distribution.”  Within twelve months of the First Liquidating Distribution, Security National Life will either (i) sell the Capital Reserve stock to an unrelated business entity, or (ii) distribute the remaining assets to Security National Life in complete liquidation of Capital Reserve, which will constitute the “Second Liquidating Distribution.”  After such distribution, Capital Reserve will cease to exist.

(4)           Security National Life will file the statement described in Treasury Regulations, Section 332-6(b) and, if applicable, both Security National Life and Capital Reserve will file the statement described in Treasury Regulations, Section 381(b)-1(b)(3).

(5)           In implementing this Agreement, Security National Life and Capital Reserve shall each be responsible to comply with all regulatory requirements applicable to it.

Section 3

Capital Reserve will make all deeds, conveyances, assignments, bills of sale or assurances as are necessary or desirable to vest in Security National Life the title to any property or rights of Capital Reserve or to evidence such vesting, and will do all things as may be necessary, proper or appropriate to accomplish same.  It is agreed and intended by the parties that all such deeds, conveyances, assignments, bills of sale and assurances will be executed and delivered as part of the liquidating distributions described in Section 2.

Section 4

This Agreement shall be signed on behalf of each party hereto by its President.  Each party to this Agreement agrees to comply with laws applicable to it in connection with this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
