Item 8.01 Other Events.
The Board of Directors of Bancinsurance Corporation (the "Company") has determined that the Company’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "2009 Annual Meeting") will be held on Monday, July 27, 2009, at 2:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, at the Company’s corporate offices located at 250 East Broad Street, Seventh Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215. The record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the 2009 Annual Meeting will be the close of business on June 2, 2009.
Important Deadlines:
Because the date of the 2009 Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company has extended the deadlines for submitting shareholder proposals for the 2009 Annual Meeting as described below.
Any proposals from shareholders that are intended to be presented at the 2009 Annual Meeting must be received by the Company by May 25, 2009 to be eligible for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the 2009 Annual Meeting (the "2009 Proxy Materials"). Such proposals may be included in the 2009 Proxy Materials if they comply with certain rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In addition, if a shareholder intends to present a proposal at the 2009 Annual Meeting without the inclusion of such proposal in the 2009 Proxy Materials and written notice of the proposal is not received by the Company by May 25, 2009, or if the Company meets other requirements of the SEC rules, proxies solicited by the Board of Directors for the 2009 Annual Meeting will confer discretionary authority to vote on such proposal. In each case, written notice must be given to Bancinsurance Corporation, 250 East Broad Street, Seventh Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215, c/o Secretary.
