History
The original core of Globe Life, Liberty National Life Insurance Company was founded in 1900 as the Heralds of Liberty, a fraternal benefit society. The company was headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, until 2006 when it moved to McKinney, Texas.[1]
In 1980, Liberty National acquired Globe Life And Accident Insurance Company and formed the holding company, Torchmark Corporation.[2]
In 1981, TMK acquired United Investors Life Insurance Company (UIL), United American Insurance Company, and Waddell and Reed Financial.[3]
In 1994, TMK acquired American Income Life Insurance Company;[2]
In 1998, TMK spun off Waddell and Reed Financial, a mutual fund subsidiary.[4]
In 2006, TMK began moving its headquarters from Birmingham, AL to McKinney, TX.[1]
In 2010, TMK sold United Investors Life Insurance Company (UIL) to Protective Life Corporation.[5]
In 2012, TMK acquired Family Heritage Life Insurance Company of America (FHL).[6] It was renamed Globe Life Family Heritage Division in 2019.[7]
On February 5, 2014, Torchmark's subsidiary Globe Life purchased the naming rights of Globe Life Park in Arlington, formerly Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, the home of Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers Baseball Club located in Arlington, TX.[8] The naming rights were eventually transferred to Globe Life Field, the Rangers' new home park, alongside extending the naming rights through 2048.[9]
In August 2001, a mutual fund company filed a civil racketeering suit against Torchmark Corp., which accused Torchmark Corp. and its former chief executive of scheming to continue control over Waddell & Reed Financial Inc. after Torchmark spun it off in 1998.[10] However, in a series of orders dated February 20, 2003, August 20, 2004, and September 28, 2004, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Kansas later granted summary judgment against plaintiff Waddell & Reed and in favor of Torchmark and the other defendants named in the action.[11]
On August 8, 2019, Torchmark Corporation was renamed to Globe Life and its ticker symbol changed from "TMK" to "GL".[12]
