Item 8.01Other Events.

ICC Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors has established a $3.0 million stock repurchase authorization with no expiration date.  The authorized repurchases will be made from time to time in either the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.  The timing, volume and nature of share repurchases will be at the sole discretion of management, dependent on market conditions, applicable securities laws, and other factors, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.  No assurance can be given that any particular amount of common stock will be repurchased.  All or part of the repurchases may be implemented under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which would allow repurchases under pre-set terms at times when the Company might otherwise be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed blackout periods. This repurchase program may be modified, extended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time.

This Current Report on Form 8-K, and oral statements made regarding the subjects of this release, contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, or the Reform Act, which may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s intention to return capital to stockholders, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical facts, including statements identified by words such as “believe,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” and similar expressions.  All statements addressing operating performance, events, or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including statements relating to its intention to return capital to stockholders and execution of its stock repurchase program, as well as statements expressing optimism or pessimism about future operating results or benefits from its stock repurchase program, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act.  The forward-looking statements are based on management’s current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance, and are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies and changes in circumstances, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.  The statements in this press release are made as of the date of this press release, even if subsequently made available by the Company on its website or otherwise.  The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise these statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this press release.

Although the Company does not make forward-looking statements unless it believes it has a reasonable basis for doing so, the Company cannot guarantee their accuracy.  For a list of other factors which could affect the Company’s results, including earnings estimates, see the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including “Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  The foregoing factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements.  No undue reliance should be placed on any forward-looking statements.
