Item 29. Indemnification

The By-Laws of Southern Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company provide, in part in Article XII, as follows:

ARTICLE XII

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Company shall indemnify to the maximum extent allowed by Mississippi law, any director or officer thereof, who is made party to any suit or proceeding because he is or was a director or officer, provided that the director or officer has met the standard of conduct set out in Mississippi Code of 1972 Annotated Section 79-4-8.51(a-d), and indemnification is not otherwise provided for by any insurance coverage available to such director or officer. Any question as to whether a director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct will be determined by an independent special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 30. Principal Underwriter

(a) Other Activity. Not Applicable.

(b) Management. Not Applicable.
