01 Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events. Globe Life Inc. ("Globe Life") is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide an update and additional information with respect to comments made during Globe Life's Conference Call for 4 th Quarter 2023 Earnings on February 8, 2024 (the "Earnings Call") about a matter that was pending in litigation at that time. On April 11, 2022, a former independent sales agent ("Claimant") filed suit against Globe Life subsidiary American Income Life Insurance Company ("AIL"); Simon Arias III, Arias Agencies, and S.A.

AIL took prompt and appropriate action based on that investigation. AIL and Arias filed motions to compel Claimant's claims to individual arbitration, which the court granted on July 22, 2022, staying the claims against them pending the conclusion of the arbitration. On September 27, 2022, Claimant filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. A three-arbitrator panel (the "Panel") was appointed, and the arbitration hearing was scheduled to commence on March 4, 2024. Prior to the hearing, Claimant dismissed all claims against AIL and Arias with prejudice, and without obtaining any relief or payment from AIL or Arias. The Panel's Final Order states: "At 10:37pm on Sunday March 3, 2024, the night before the hearing, scheduled to commence on March 4, 2024 at 9:30am, Claimant's counsel sent an e-mail purporting to withdraw a
