Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On March 31, 2011, American Consumers, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), held a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) as described in the proxy statement relating to the Special Meeting mailed to stockholders on or about March 15, 2011. At the Special Meeting the Company’s shareholders approved each of the following two amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, which together are intended to enable the Company to cease its periodic reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereby forgo many of the expenses associated with operating as a public company subject to Securities and Exchange Commission reporting obligations. The number of votes cast for, against, or withheld as well as the number of broker non-votes as to each such amendment at the Special Meeting was as follows:

ITEM OF BUSINESS VOTE ON BY SHAREHOLDERS	TOTAL SHARES VOTED	VOTES CAST FOR	VOTES CAST AGAINST	SHARES ABSTAINING	BROKER NON-VOTES
Proposal 1 – An amendment to effect a 1-for-400 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).	536,859.6	532,922.7	3,936.9	1,493.8	0

Proposal 2 – An amendment to effect a 400-for-1 forward stock split of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, following completion of the Reverse Stock Split (the “Forward Stock Split”).	536,612.1	533,775.2	2,836.9	1,741.3	0

No other matters were submitted for a vote by the Company’s shareholders at the Special Meeting.

Within the next few days, the Company expects to file with the Georgia Secretary of State the necessary Articles of Amendment of its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect both the Reverse Stock Split and the Forward Stock Split.

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On ~~February~~March 1831, 2011, ~~American~~the ~~Consumers,~~Company ~~Inc.,~~issued a ~~Georgia~~press ~~corporation~~release ~~(the “Company”),~~ issued a press release ~~announcing~~reporting ~~that~~ the ~~Company’s~~results ~~Board~~ of ~~Directors~~the ~~has~~Special ~~approved~~Meeting. The ~~(i)~~full atext ~~1-for-400 reverse stock split~~ of the ~~Company’s~~press ~~outstanding~~release ~~common~~is ~~stock,~~attached tohereto beas ~~followed~~Exhibit ~~immediately by (ii) a 400-for-~~99.1 ~~forward~~to ~~stock~~this ~~split~~Current ~~of the Company’s outstanding common stock (collectively, the “Reverse/Forward Stock Split”)~~Report.

Pursuant to the Reverse/Forward Stock Split, shareholders of record holding fewer than 400 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately before the transaction would have such shares cancelled and converted into the right to receive from the Company a cash payment of $1.00 for each such share owned before the reverse stock split. Shareholders of record holding 400 or more shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately before the transaction will continue to hold the same number of shares of that class after completion of the transaction and will not receive any cash payment for their shares of that class. Beneficial owners of shares held in street name will not have their shares affected by the Reverse/Forward Stock Split, provided that their shares are held through an account with a broker, bank or other custodian that holds such shares in nominee name through Cede & Co. (which is true of most “street name” accounts with brokers and other financial institutions).

The Board of Directors created a Special Transaction Committee of independent directors to review the proposed Reverse/Forward Stock Split. The Special Transaction Committee received a fairness opinion from its financial advisor, Southard Financial of Memphis, Tennessee, that the per share cash consideration to be paid in the proposed Reverse/Forward Stock Split is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s unaffiliated shareholders, including those unaffiliated shareholders that would be cashed out as a result of the Reverse/Forward Stock Split as well as the Company’s unaffiliated continuing shareholders who will not be cashed out in the transaction. If a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock approve the proposed amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the Reverse/Forward Stock Split is implemented, the Company anticipates having fewer than 500 shareholders of record, which, because the Company has less than $10 million in total assets, would enable the Company to voluntarily terminate the registration of its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Even if the shareholders approve the Reverse/Forward Stock Split, the Board of Directors reserves the right to defer or not to implement the transaction.

The Company’s press release announcing these matters is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
