KANSAS COMMISSIONER OF INSURANCE RULES WHITE PROXIES
GATHERED BY DISSIDENT GROUP FUNDED BY CITIZENS, INC. CAN NOT
BE USED TO SEIZE CONTROL OF FIRST AMERICAN CAPITAL CORPORATION
TOPEKA, KS - May 23, 2003 - First American Capital Corporation disclosed
today the Office of the Kansas Commissioner of Insurance, ruled the white
proxies gathered by a dissident group of shareholders being financed by
Citizens, Inc. (NYSE:CIA) of Austin, Texas can not be used to elect the
dissident's nominees to First American Capital's board of directors.
Today's letter from the Kansas Insurance Department stated:
"As to the voting of the proxies gathered by or on behalf of Riley, Oliver
and Citizens, Inc. it appears to the Commissioner that the use of any of
these proxies would be a violation of the Kansas Insurance Holding Companies
Act. She objects to their use in any manner whatsoever. If any of these
proxies are used at the upcoming shareholders meeting she will take
appropriate action which may include the filing of a suit in the Shawnee
County District Court, the seizure of proxies and the invalidation of any
actions resulting from the use of the proxies."
First American Capital's company's annual meeting of shareholders is
scheduled to be held at the Holiday Inn West in Topeka at 11:00 a.m, on
Monday June 2.
"We will continue to encourage shareholder support for our campaign to elect
Managment's slate of experienced business leaders to the board of
directors," said Harland E. Priddle, Chairman of the Board of First
American Capital, a regional life insurance company founded and financed
by Kansans in 1996.
"We are urging each and every shareholder to vote Management's Blue Proxy
Card immediately," Priddle said.
Every shareholder is urged to support First American Capital's Management
by voting FOR Management's Nominees on the BLUE Proxy Card and mailing it
