Proxy Statement (Form 8-K)

Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations.

In connection with the scheduling of the annual meeting of shareholders disclosed in Item 8.01 below, because the next annual meeting of shareholders of First Trinity Financial Corporation (the "Company") will be held more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company's 2024 annual meeting, the deadline for shareholder nominations or proposals for consideration at the next annual meeting as set forth in the Company's 2024 proxy statement no longer applies. Accordingly, in order to be included in the proxy materials for the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, shareholders who intend to nominate a candidate for election to the Board of Directors or to propose other business for consideration at the 2026 annual meeting to be included in the Company's proxy materials for the 2026 annual meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any notice on Schedule 14N, must ensure that any such proposal is received by the Company at its principal executive offices, 7633 East 63^rd Place, Suite 230, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74133, no later than 5:00 p.m., Central time, on December 31, 2025. Shareholders are advised to submit their proposals by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to Company's Corporate Secretary.

Only proposals and nominations meeting the requirements of applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules will be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Section 2.02 of the Company's Bylaws provide that its annual meeting of shareholders should occur on the third Wednesday of May of each year. Because of significant management attention throughout most of 2025 due to a possible significant corporate transaction that did not occur, the Company's Board of Directors has determined to waive (but not amend) Section 2.02 of the Company's Bylaws for the year 2025 only and schedule the annual meeting of shareholders to May 20, 2026.

Notice of the record date for the forthcoming meeting, the related proxy statement and annual report to shareholders will be mailed to shareholders of the Company in early 2026.
