Item 8.01. Other Events

Unitrin, Inc., the registrant ("Unitrin"), announced today that it has reached an agreement in principle to sell its health insurance subsidiary, Reserve National Insurance Company, to Physicians Mutual(R). The transaction is subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement, completion of due diligence and regulatory approval. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2010. Terms of the transaction were not announced. Information about the transaction and the parties involved is included in the press release issued by Unitrin on February 22, 2010, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.01 and incorporated herein by reference.

This report contains information that includes or is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements give expectations or forecasts of future events, and can be identified by the fact that they relate to future actions, performance or results rather than strictly to historical or current facts. Any or all forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong, and, accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, and are not guarantees of future performance. Among the general factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimated results are those listed in periodic reports filed by Unitrin with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). No assurances can be given that the results contemplated in any forward-looking statements will be achieved at all or in any particular timetable, and Unitrin assumes no obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statements as a result of any subsequent developments. However, readers are advised to consult any further disclosures Unitrin makes on related subjects in its SEC filings.
