DEE ANN MCINTYRE

The Reporting Persons filing jointly on this Amendment No. 4 filed their last amended Schedule 13G/A on February 14, 2013.

Exhibit C shows current ownership as of December 31, 2013, of United Fire Group, Inc. capital stock held by the Reporting Persons and by six other entities: (1) the McIntyre Foundation, (2) the individual retirement account of Dee Ann McIntyre, (3) the revocable trust of Dee Ann McIntyre, (4) the J. Scott McIntyre Marital Election Trust (d. 10/06/2009), (5) the J. Scott McIntyre Trust (d. 12/08/1992), and (6) the brokerage account of the J. Scott McIntyre estate (herein, the “Other Entities”). The group consisting of the Reporting Persons and the Other Entities is referred to collectively as the “Indicated Entities.”

The McIntyre Foundation was created in 1997 by Mrs. McIntyre's late husband as a charitable foundation. Mrs. McIntyre is one of three directors of the Foundation. By virtue of her position with the Foundation Mrs. McIntyre is deemed to beneficially own the shares directly held by the Foundation. Mrs. McIntyre is contributor and beneficiary of her individual retirement account. Mrs. McIntyre created the Dee Ann McIntyre revocable trust and serves as sole trustee. The J. Scott McIntyre Martial Election Trust (d. 10/06/2009) was created upon the death of Mrs. McIntyre's late husband. The J. Scott McIntyre Trust (d. 12/08/1992) was created by Mrs. McIntyre's late husband. Mrs. McIntyre serves as sole trustee of both these trusts. By virtue of her position as trustee of these three trusts Mrs. McIntyre is deemed to beneficially own the shares directly held by each of these trusts. By virtue of her position as executor of the J. Scott McIntyre estate, Mrs. McIntyre is deemed to beneficially own the shares held in the estate's brokerage account.

All transactions that involve one or more of the Indicated Entities are reported on Exhibit C. Where transactions are among two of the Indicated Entities, appropriate corresponding entries reflect the transaction. Where transactions involve only one of the Indicated Entities there is no corresponding entry.
