New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$97.7m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • Mar 15

Harold E. Riley Foundation Dismisses Claims Against Citizens, Inc Citizens, Inc. announced that the Harold E. Riley Foundation has agreed to dismiss all claims against Citizens and the members of its Board of Directors in connection with the Colorado litigation filed by the Foundation's former trustees and to sell all outstanding Class B common stock to Citizens. The purchase of the Class B common stock by Citizens is expected to be consummated in March 2021. The dismissal of the Colorado litigation and sale of the Class B common stock were partially the result of the two sole charitable beneficiaries of the Foundation, Baylor University and Southwestern Theological Seminary, resolving their litigation with the Foundation's trustees in Texas. In such litigation, of which neither the Company nor its Board was a party, the charitable beneficiaries alleged that certain of the Foundation's trustees breached their fiduciary duties to the Foundation and misused Foundation monies for personal benefit, including bringing the Colorado litigation against the company and its Board in an attempt to seat themselves on Citizens' Board. The Texas Attorney General intervened in the case on behalf of Baylor and Southwestern in December 2020. As a result of their settlement, the trustees who filed the lawsuit against Citizens were removed from the Foundation. As a result of the Foundation Settlement Agreement: Citizens, its directors and the Foundation will dismiss all claims in the Colorado litigation; Citizens restored its Board and Bylaws to the form they existed as of August 12, 2020; The Foundation agreed to sell and Citizens agreed to buy 100% of the Citizens Class B Shares that were owned by the Foundation; and Citizens will have one class of voting shares outstanding (Class A common stock)—Class B Shares will remain authorized but will be unissued.
