Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Stock Repurchase Program – The Board of Directors of UTG, Inc. (the “Company”) has authorized the repurchase in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions of shares of the Company’s common stock. As previously authorized, open market purchases are made based on the last available market price but may be limited. Company Management has broad authority to operate the program, including the discretion of whether to purchase shares and the ability to suspend or terminate the repurchase program.

Management suspended repurchases under the program on November 1, 2024, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. At meetings held on December 11 and 27, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company reinstituted the repurchase program and authorized an additional $1,000,000 for the repurchase of shares under the program. As reinstituted and updated by the Board of Directors, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $23 million of the Company’s common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Through December 26, 2024, the Company has spent $20,839,555 in the acquisition of 1,380,820 shares, leaving $2,160,445 available for the repurchase of additional shares under this program.

At its meeting on December 27, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company also authorized the adoption of a trading plan pursuant to which shares of the Company’s common stock may be repurchased in the open market as a part of the Company’s repurchase program. The trading plan will be executed in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Repurchases pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 are permitted when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. A broker selected by the Company has been delegated the authority to repurchase shares on the Company’s behalf in the open market pursuant to this trading plan, subject to certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the trading plan. The trading plan authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2025, though it may be amended or terminated by the Company at any time.

The Company’s stock repurchase program described in this report is subject to amendment or termination by the Board of Directors of the Company, in its sole discretion and without prior notice. The Board of Directors’ authorization of the repurchase program and the adoption of a trading plan do not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular number or amount of shares of the Company's common stock.
