                                       4


         The purpose of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization is to terminate
the  registration of the Southern  Security Life Insurance  Company common stock
under  the  Securities   Exchange  Act  of  1934  (by  reducing  the  number  of
stockholders of record to fewer than 300 stockholders) and the Nasdaq listing of
the common stock, reduce expenses associated with such registration and listing,
and provide the  stockholders an opportunity to sell their shares in an illiquid
trading market without incurring brokerage commissions.  As a result of becoming
a non-reporting company, Southern Security Life Insurance Company will no longer
be required to file periodic reports with the SEC, including among other things,
annual  reports on Form 10-K and quarterly  reports on Form 10-Q, and it will no
longer be subject to the SEC's proxy rules. In addition,  the Southern  Security
Life  Insurance  Company  common stock will no longer be eligible for trading on
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

         The obligations of Southern Security Life Insurance  Company,  Security
National  Life  Insurance  Company and SSLIC  Holding  Company to  complete  the
transaction are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the
approval of the  Agreement and Plan of  Reorganization  by the  stockholders  of
Southern  Security Life Insurance  Company,  approvals of the transaction by the
insurance  departments  of Florida  and Utah,  and,  on the  closing  date,  the
dissenting  shares of common stock of Southern  Security Life Insurance  Company
must not exceed 10% of the outstanding common shares.
