PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF

SHAREHOLDERS OF

UTG, INC.

GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING SOLICITATION

The Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of UTG, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("UTG" or the "Company"), will be held on Wednesday, June 3, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. at the offices of First Southern Bancorp, 205 North Depot Street, Stanford, Kentucky 40484.  The mailing address of UTG's principal executive office is P.O. Box 5147, Springfield, Illinois 62705.

This proxy statement is being sent to each holder of record of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of UTG, no par value (the "Common Stock"), as of the close of business on April 10, 2015, in order to furnish to each shareholder information relating to the business to be transacted at the meeting.

This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy are being made available on or about April 24, 2015 to the shareholders of UTG entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting.  The Annual Report of UTG for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 has been made available to shareholders.  UTG will bear the cost of soliciting proxies from its shareholders.  UTG may reimburse brokers and other persons for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of Common Stock.  Solicitations may be made by telephone, fax or by personal calls, and it is anticipated that such solicitations will consist primarily of requests to brokerage houses, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward the soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons.  If necessary, officers and regular employees of UTG may by telephone or personal interview request the return of proxies.

VOTING

The enclosed proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of UTG.  If you are unable to attend the meeting on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, please complete the enclosed proxy and return it to us in the accompanying envelope so that your shares will be represented and voted at the meeting.

When the enclosed proxy is duly executed and returned in advance of the meeting, and is not revoked, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the authority contained therein.  Any shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted by delivering to the Secretary of UTG a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the meeting and voting his or her shares in person.  If a proxy fails to specify how it is to be voted, it will be voted "FOR" the election of the directors.

Inspectors of election will be appointed to tabulate the number of shares of Common Stock represented at the meeting in person or by proxy, to determine whether or not a quorum is present and to count all votes cast at the meeting.  The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the record date must be represented at the meeting in person or by proxy in order for a quorum to be present at the meeting.  The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and broker non-votes as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.  Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors but will have the effect of a vote against any other matter submitted to a vote at the meeting.  The holders of Common Stock as of the record date are entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock with respect to the election of directors, and any other matter that may be submitted to a vote at the meeting.  With respect to the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes duly cast is required for the election of directors (that is, the nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected).  There are no cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors.  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the annual meeting is required to approve any other matter that may be submitted to a vote at the meeting.  Management is not aware of any matter other than the election of directors to be brought before the shareholders at the meeting.

The Correll affiliates hold approximately 57.3% of the outstanding Common Stock (See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters") and intend to vote their shares in favor of the election of directors.

VOTING SECURITIES OUTSTANDING

April 10, 2015 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.  On that date, UTG had outstanding 3,717,623 shares of Common Stock.  No other voting securities of UTG are outstanding.

The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee consisting of Messrs. Attkisson and Brinck. The Audit Committee performs such duties as outlined in the Company's Audit Committee Charter.  The Audit Committee reviews and acts or reports to the Board with respect to various auditing and accounting matters, the scope of the audit procedures and the results thereof, internal accounting and control systems of UTG, the nature of services performed for UTG and the fees to be paid to the independent auditors, the performance of UTG's independent and internal auditors and the accounting practices of UTG.  The Audit Committee also recommends to the full Board of Directors the auditors to be appointed by the Board.  The Audit Committee met five timesin 2014.

The Board has reviewed the qualifications of each member of the audit committee and determined one member of the committee, Randy Attkisson, meets the definition of a "financial expert".

REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Introduction

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for determining and recommending to the full Board of Directors the compensation of the Company's executive officers.  The Compensation Committee strongly believes that UTG's executive officers directly impact the short-term and long-term performance of UTG.  With this belief and the corresponding objective of making decisions that are in the best interest of UTG's shareholders, the Compensation Committee places significant emphasis on the design and administration of UTG's executive compensation plans.

Company Management may be requested by the Compensation Committee to provide support such as to attend portions of meetings, make recommendations to the Compensation Committee and perform various day-to-day administrative functions on behalf of the committee.  The Committee further has the authority to engage outside advisors, experts and other professionals to assist it.  No such outside persons were engaged during 2014 or 2013.

The Company's philosophy regarding compensation of executive officers is generally one of executive officers qualify for the same benefits and opportunities as provided to all of the employees of the Company.  Special or unique perquisites to executive officers not provided to all employees amount to less than $10,000 to any one individual.  The Company maintained a membership to a local country club that could only be utilized by the President.  During 2013 the Company paid $4,617, to maintain this membership.  The membership was discontinued effective September 30, 2013.

The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the Company's compensation philosophy.  From time to time, as necessary, the committee may modify the compensation philosophy, principles or goals.  The compensation program is applied to our named executive officers in a fashion similar to its application to the Chief Executive Officer.  Any differences are due to difference in job scope and market compensation for various positions.

The Company maintains employee benefits such as paid time off, 401(k) plan, health insurance, dental insurance, group life insurance and long term disability insurance.  These benefits are generally competitive to other entities located in the Midwest where the Company must compete for employees.  Executive officers are entitled to these benefits on the same basis and terms as other employees of the Company.

Executive Compensation Elements

The total compensation package for the executive officers of UTG consists of multiple elements.  The Compensation Committee considers market compensation comparisons as it determines the elements, appropriate levels and mix of compensation to be paid to the executive officers in order to retain the executives necessary to the successful operation of the Company.  The committee does not operate with rigid standards, rather, it works using a competitive market range.  Many factors are considered in determining compensation, including the responsibilities assumed by the executive, the scope of the executive's position, experience, length of service, individual performance and internal equity considerations.In addition to a base salary, increased compensation of current and future executive officers of the Company will be determined using a "performance based" philosophy.  UTG's financial results are analyzed and future increases to compensation will be proportionately based on the profitability of the Company.

Base Salary - The Board of Directors through recommendations from the Compensation Committee establishes base salaries at a level intended to be within the competitive market range of comparable companies.

Incentive Awards - The Board of Directors, from time to time, may approve incentive awards for the executive officers.  These incentive awards are generally in the form of a one-time cash or stock bonus payment.  Incentive awards are determined based on the overall operations of the Company as well as individual performance considerations.  The Company does not utilize a specific set formula in the determination of incentive awards.

Stock Options - Stock options are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors. There were no options granted to the named executive officers during the last two fiscal years.

Employment Contracts - There are no employment agreements or understandings in effect with any executive officers of the Company.

Deferred Compensation - The Company has no deferred compensation arrangements with any of its executive officers

Tax and Accounting Implications of Compensation - As one of the factors considered in performing its duties, the Board of Directors evaluates the anticipated tax treatment to the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as to the executives, of various payments and benefits.  The deductibility of some types of compensation depends upon the timing of an executive's vesting or exercise of previously-granted rights.  Deductibility may also be affected by interpretations of and changes in tax laws.

Conclusion

The Compensation Committee believes this executive compensation plan provides a competitive and motivational compensation package to the executive officer team necessary to produce the results UTG strives to achieve.  The committee also believes theexecutive compensation plan addresses both the interests of the shareholders and the executive team.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of UTG has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Disclosure and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of SEC Regulation S-K with Company Management.  Based on these reviews and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that this report on executive compensation be included with this filing.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The UTG Compensation Committee may make recommendations to the full Board of Directors on decisions regarding executive officer compensation.  The following persons served as Directors of UTG during 2014 and were officers or employees of UTG or its affiliates during 2014: Jesse T. Correll and James P. Rousey.  Accordingly, these individuals have participated in decisions related to compensation of executive officers of UTG and its subsidiaries.

During 2014, Jesse T. Correll and James P. Rousey, executive officers of UTG and UG, were also members of the Board of Directors of UG.

Jesse T. Correll is a Director and executive officer of FSBI and participates in compensation decisions of FSBI.  FSBI owns or controls directly and indirectly approximately 38% of the outstanding common stock of UTG.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Board of Directors determined that five of the eight current Directors are "independent" as defined by Rule 5605 of the NASDAQ listing standards.  The non-independent Directors are Jesse T. Correll, Ward F. Correll and James P. Rousey.

On February 20, 2003, UG purchased $4,000,000 of a trust preferred security offering issued by First Southern Bancorp, Inc. ("FSBI").  The security has a mandatory redemption after 30 years with a call provision after 5 years.  The security pays a quarterly dividend at a fixed rate of 6.515%.  The Company received dividends of $264,219 during 2014 and 2013.  On March 30, 2009, UG purchased $1,000,000 of FSBI common stock.  The sale and transfer of this security is restricted by the provisions of a stock restriction and buy-sell agreement.

On September 28, 2011 UTG entered a joint ownership agreement with Bandyco, LLC and First Southern National Bank, for an 8.08% interest in an aircraft. Bandyco, LLC is affiliated with Ward F Correll, who is a Director of the Company. The Company paid a monthly operational fee of $25,000 through July of 2014 when the aircraft was sold.  During July of 2014, the Company acquired a different aircraft.  UTG paid $1,600,000 in the acquisition of the aircraft, increasing the Company's ownership interest to 30.1%.  The aircraft is used for business related travel by various officers and employees of the Company. For years 2014 and 2013, UTG paid $879,453 and $427,776 for costs associated with the aircraft.

Effective January 1, 2007, UTG entered into administrative services and cost sharing agreements with its subsidiary.  Under this arrangement, the subsidiary pays its proportionate share of expenses, based on an allocation formula.  During 2014 and 2013, UG paid $8,902,568 and $7,442,588, respectively, in expenses. The Ohio Department of Insurance has approved the cost sharing agreement and it is Management's opinion that where applicable, costs have been allocated fairly and such allocations are based upon accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company from time to time acquires mortgage loans through participation agreements with FSNB.  FSNB services the Company's mortgage loans including those covered by the participation agreements.  The Company pays a .25% servicing fee on these loans and a one-time fee at loan origination of .50% of the original loan cost to cover costs incurred by FSNB relating to the processing and establishment of the loan.  The Company paid $33,894 and $93,285 in servicing fees and $0 and $1,250 in origination fees to FSNB during 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company reimbursed expenses incurred by employees of FSNB relating to salaries, travel and other costs incurred on behalf of or relating to the Company.  The Company paid $325,479 and $56,510 in 2014 and 2013, respectively to FSNB in reimbursement of such costs.  In addition, the Company reimburses FSNB a portion of salaries and pension costs for Mr. Correll and Mr. Ditto.  The reimbursement was approved by the UTG Board of Directors and totaled $332,725 and $332,029 in 2014 and 2013, respectively, which included salaries and other benefits.

UG paid ordinary dividends of $4,800,000 and $2,700,000 to UTG in 2014 and 2013, respectively. No extraordinary dividends were paid during the two year period.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

The Audit Committee is required to be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and retention of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.  The Audit Committee appointed Brown Smith Wallace, LLC ("BSW") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Amounts paid to, or billed by, the Company's principal accountant, during the two most recent fiscal years by category were as follows:

SUBMISSION OF SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2015 ANNUAL MEETING

In order for a proposal by a shareholder to be included in UTG's proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the proposal must be received by UTG at its principal office on or before January 14, 2016.

Shareholder proposals submitted after April 4, 2016, will be considered untimely, and the proxy solicited by UTG for next year's annual meeting may confer discretionary authority to vote on any such matters without a description of them in the proxy statement for that meeting.

OTHER MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING

Management does not intend to bring any other business before the meeting of UTG's shareholders and has no reason to believe that any will be presented to the meeting.  If, however, any other business should properly be presented to the meeting, the proxies named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote the proxies in accordance with their best judgment.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

The Securities and Exchange Commission rules permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders.  This process allows for extra convenience for stockholders and potential costs savings for companies.

One or more brokers with accountholders who are UTG shareholders may send a single proxy statement addressed to two or more shareholders sharing the same address.  In those cases, a single proxy statement and Annual Report will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholder.  Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be sending communications to your address in this way, they will continue this practice until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent.  If, at any time, you no longer wish to receive proxy materials and communications in this way and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker or direct your written request to UTG, Inc., Theodore C. Miller, Secretary, 5250 South Sixth Street, P.O. Box 5147, Springfield, Illinois, 62705-5147, or contact Mr. Miller at 217-241-6300.  UTG will deliver promptly, upon written or oral request in the manner provided above, a separate copy of the proxy statement and Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy was delivered.  If your broker is not currently delivering a single proxy statement addressed to two or more shareholders sharing the same address (i.e., you received multiple copies of this proxy statement), and you would like to request delivery of a single copy, you should contact your broker.

AVAILABILITY OF ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

UTG has filed its Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2014 on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  A copy of the report, including any financial statements and financial statement schedules, may be obtained without charge by any shareholder.  Requests for copies of the report should be sent to Theodore C. Miller, Secretary, UTG, Inc., P.O. Box 5147, Springfield, Illinois, 62705-5147.
