Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On September 10, 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of PICO Holdings, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), completed the disposition of all of the shares that it held of the capital stock of Spigit, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Spigit”). As a result of previous investment transactions, Spigit had become a partially-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, and recently (during 2013) met the tests for being a “significant subsidiary” under Item 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. This disposition occurred upon the closing of a merger transaction, pursuant to which Spigit was acquired by Mindjet Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Mindjet”). Other than with respect to the merger transaction, neither the Company nor any of its directors or officers or affiliates had any prior material relationship with Mindjet. Pursuant to the merger transaction, the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that had held the shares of Spigit received shares of preferred stock and common stock of Mindjet.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

Because Spigit's results of operations, cash flows and its assets and liabilities were not included in Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012, the disposition of the shares of Spigit would not have any effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. As a result, there are no pro forma financial statements to present.
