The UTG line of credit carries interest at a fixed rate of 3.75% and is payable monthly. As collateral, UTG has pledged 100% of the common voting stock of its wholly owned subsidiary, Universal Guaranty Life Insurance Company ("UG"). The UTG line of credit was fully repaid on July 5, 2013. On October 28, 2013, the Company borrowed $3,000,000 on its line of credit. The funds were used to pay the ACAP dissenting shareholders.

The UTG Avalon line of credit issued on March 28, 2013 currently carries interest at a rate of 4.0% and is payable in two semi-annual payments. The interest rate is a variable rate that will be 0.50% above the lowest of the U.S. Prime Rates as published in the money section of the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate is subject to change monthly and changes in the interest rate will take effect on the first day of the month following the rate change.

UG is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB").  This membership allows the Company access to additional credit up to a maximum of 50% of the total assets of UG.  To be a member of the FHLB, the Company was required to purchase shares of common stock of FHLB.  Borrowing capacity is based on 50 times each dollar of stock acquired in FHLB above the "base membership" amount.
