Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On January 22, 1997, John Adams Life Corporation (the "Company")
completed the sale to Unified Life Insurance Company ("Unified") of the
49,803.16 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") of John Adams Life Insurance
Company of America ("JALIC") owned by the Company. The Shares comprise 99.6% of
the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of JALIC.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 24, 1996, as
amended, between the Company and Unified (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), the
purchase price for the Shares (the "Purchase Price") was $3,350,000, subject to
certain adjustments. Pursuant to a formula set forth in the Stock Purchase
Agreement, at the Closing the Purchase Price was adjusted to $3,153,000, based
upon an estimate of JALIC's statutory capital and surplus account, asset
valuation reserve and interest maintenance reserve as of December 31, 1996. The
final calculation and settlement of the Purchase Price will be determined in
February 1997, when JALIC files its California Statutory Insurance Statement
for the year ended December 31, 1996. At that time, any final payment owed to
the Company or Unified will be made by the appropriate party.
At the Closing on January 22, 1997, the Company retained invested
assets of JALIC with an aggregate admitted book value, as indicated on JALIC's
most recent California Statutory Insurance Statement, of $2,817,000. The
balance of $336,000 represents indebtedness due from the Company to JALIC,
which was satisfied at the Closing.
Pursuant to a Supervising General Agent's Commission Agreement dated
February 1, 1976, as amended (the "Firingline Agreement"), Firingline, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, provides marketing, servicing and other
efforts in connection with the sale of life insurance and annuity products sold
by JALIC, in consideration for commissions paid to Firingline by JALIC. This
relationship will continue after the Closing.
Pursuant to the Amendment to the Firingline Agreement dated October 22,
1996, between JALIC and Firingline, JALIC will pay to Firingline, effective
January 1, 1997, additional commissions ("Additional Commissions") on certain
JALIC life insurance policies. The maximum aggregate amount of Additional
Commissions which can be earned by JALIC over a three-year period is $1,200,000.
Firingline will also continue to be paid renewal commissions under the
Firingline Agreement on all of the JALIC policies transferred to Unified at the
Closing. Over the three-year period commencing January 1, 1997, under certain
conditions JALIC will make monthly guaranteed advances against Additional
Commissions to Firingline.
