On June 20, 2012, The National Security Group, Inc. (the Company) reached a settlement agreement in the ongoing Mobile Attic related litigation previously disclosed in its annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on forms 10-K and 10-Q. The Company and the plaintiff entered into an agreement before the Court to end all outstanding litigation between the parties. The agreement will consist of a structured settlement in which the Company will pay the plaintiff $13 million over 9 years on terms and conditions to be finalized by the parties in the final definitive agreement. The parties have until July 20, 2012, to submit the definitive agreement to the court. The impact of the settlement will be included in the Company's second quarter results and additional details of the final settlement terms will be disclosed upon finalization and submission to the court. While the settlement will have a material impact on second quarter and full year consolidated financial results for 2012, the impact is not expected to significantly alter the operations of our insurance subsidiaries.
