PART III – NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Signature Group Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Fremont General Corporation, herein referred to as the “Company”) was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 by the November 14, 2011 due date and has determined that it is unable to file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 within the five calendar day extension period permitted by the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

As previously disclosed, the Company is the successor to Fremont General Corporation, which had filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division in June 2008. The Company successfully emerged from bankruptcy proceedings on June 11, 2010 with a new management team, Board of Directors, business plan and operating strategy. At the time that the Company emerged from bankruptcy proceedings, the Company was not current in certain of its periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”).

The Company has made significant progress in its efforts to become current in its 1934 Act periodic reporting with the filing: (i) on May 17, 2011 of the Company’s comprehensive Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and the quarterly periods of 2008 and 2009; (ii) on July 5, 2011 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the Form 10-Q’s for the three quarterly periods of 2010; and (iii) on September 29, 2011 of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

As of the date of this Notice of Late Filing, the Company’s remaining delinquent 1934 Act reports are its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011 (collectively, the “Delinquent Periodic Reports”). Based upon the progress made as of the date hereof, the Company currently expects that it will become current in its 1934 Act periodic reporting with the filing of the Delinquent Periodic Reports during the fourth quarter of 2011, although no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to file the Delinquent Periodic Reports by the end of such quarter.

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

Kyle Ross	805	409-4335
(Name)	(Area Code)	(Telephone Number)

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).    Yes  ¨    No  x

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2011.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    Yes  x    No  ¨

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

As more fully discussed in Part III hereof, the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are still being finalized by the Company. Consequently, the Company is not in a position to quantify any significant change in the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Company has entered into significant transactions since it emerged from bankruptcy proceedings that were reported in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K and other 1934 Act periodic reports previously filed with the SEC, which transactions are expected to impact the Company’s financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
