Other Events.

~~Kansas~~The ~~City Life Insurance~~ Company ~~(the~~issued ~~“Company”)~~a ispress ~~announcing~~release ~~today~~regarding ~~that, on July 27, 2015, its Board of Directors authorized, subject to stockholder approval, amendments to~~ the ~~Company's~~results ~~Articles~~ of ~~Incorporation that would effect a proposed reverse/forward stock split transaction (~~the ~~"Reverse/Forward~~shareholder ~~Stock Split")~~vote, ~~consisting of~~ a ~~1-for-250~~copy ~~Reverse Stock Split~~ of ~~its~~which ~~capital~~is ~~stock,~~filed ~~par~~as ~~value~~Exhibit $199.251 ~~per~~hereto ~~share~~and ~~(the~~incorporated ~~"Common~~herein ~~Stock”) followed immediately~~ by ~~a 250-for-1 Forward Stock Split of each one share of its Common Stock (including each fractional share of such class of stock in excess of one share)~~reference.

~~Subject~~Item to stockholder approval of the proposed amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, we anticipate that the Reverse/Forward Stock Split would enable us to terminate the registration of our Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") as well as our periodic reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), if, after the Reverse Stock Split, there are fewer than 300 record holders of each class of our stock and we make the necessary filings with the SEC9. We01 ~~anticipate~~Financial ~~that~~Statements ~~this would enable the Company to eliminate many of the expenses related to the disclosure, reporting~~ and ~~compliance requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and related federal securities laws and regulations~~Exhibits.

~~The Reverse/Forward Stock Split, if approved, will not result in a change in control of the Company.~~(d) Exhibits

A special meeting of the Company's stockholders is tentatively scheduled to be held on December 15, 2015, at which time we intend to submit the proposed amendments to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the Reverse/Forward Stock Split to our stockholders for their consideration and approval. If the Reverse/Forward Stock Split is approved by stockholders, we anticipate that the effective date of the Reverse/Forward Stock Split would occur soon after the stockholder meeting at which it is considered, subject to final action by the Board of Directors, and presently anticipate that it would become effective on or about December 17, 2015.

Exhibit No.	Exhibit Description
99.1	Press Release dated December 15, 2015.

~~If the Reverse/Forward Stock Split is approved and becomes effective:~~* * *

● Any stockholder who is the holder of less than 250 shares of our Common Stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split would cease to own any shares of such class but would be eligible to receive a cash payment of $52.50 (subject to any applicable U.S. federal, state and local withholding tax) per pre-Reverse Stock Split share of such class of stock, without interest; and

● Any stockholder who is the holder of 250 shares or more of our Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split would not receive any cash payment with respect to such class of stock in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and the number of shares of such class of stock held by such stockholder would not change as a result of the Reverse/Forward Stock Split (because their fractional shares of such class resulting from the Reverse Stock Split would not be cashed out but instead would be included as a part of the conversion in the Forward Stock Split).

Important Information for Stockholders

This Current Report on Form 8-K may be deemed soliciting material in connection with the proposed amendments to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the Reverse/Forward Stock Split, which amendments would be submitted to our stockholders for their consideration and approval at a meeting called for that purpose. In the near future, the Company intends to file with the SEC a proxy statement relating to that meeting as well as a Schedule 13E-3. All stockholders are advised to read the definitive proxy statement and Schedule 13E-3 carefully when these documents become available. Stockholders may obtain a free copy of the definitive proxy statement and Schedule 13E-3 (when available) at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Prior to the meeting, the Company also will mail a copy of the definitive proxy statement to the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting.
