(1) | Mr. Richey's previous Section 16 filings have reported him as indirectly beneficially owning all of shares of common stock of Torchmark Corporation held by Family Partnership, irrespective of his proportionate interest in such partnership. In 1999, Mr. and Mrs. Richey sold their limited partnership interests in Family Patnership to certain third party trusts (of which Mr. Richey has no beneficial ownership), in exchange for demand notes. Mr. Richey continues to serve as managing general partner of Family Partnership. Family Partnership has distributed certain assets (including common stock) to its limited partners, and on December 22, 2004, the third party trusts transferred 416,298 shares of common stock to Mr. and Mrs. Richey in full satisfaction of the previously contracted debt owed by such trusts to the Richeys. Therefore, 416,298 shares of common stock which have previously been reported as indirectly beneficially owned by Mr. Richey are now directly owned by Mr. Richey. |
(2) | Family Partnership also transferred 12,853 shares of common stock to third party trusts (of which Mr. Richey has no beneficial ownership), and the third party trusts retained such shares. |
(3) | Reporting person continues to report beneficial ownership of all TMK stock held by charitable remainder unitrusts, but disclaims beneficial ownership except of his and/or his spouse's pecuniary interest therein. |
