Item 8.01. Other Information.

Standard Diversified Inc. (the "Company") is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update the presentation of certain financial information and related disclosures included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 16, 2020 (the 2019 Form 10-K). The updates to the 2019 Form 10-K retrospectively, solely to reflect the reclassification of the presentation of the assets and liabilities of the Maidstone insurance business, which comprised the entirety of the Company's Insurance segment, and the results of its operations as discontinued operations.

The updates to the 2019 Form 10-K reflect the Company's previously disclosed disposal of its Maidstone insurance business and are consistent with the presentation included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on May 4, 2020.

Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K contains the following items from the 2019 Form 10-K, which have been updated to reflect the presentation of assets and liabilities and discontinued operations as described above:

• Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations?

• Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data? and

• Part IV, Item 15. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K supersedes the information in the referenced sections of the 2019 Form 10-K. This information has been retrospectively revised for the reclassification of the insurance segment as discontinued operations as described above and has not been updated for any other events occurring after the filing of the 2019 Form 10-K. No other items of the 2019 Form 10-K have been revised.

Accordingly, this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to update amounts or disclosures for any information, uncertainties, transactions, risks, events or trends occurring, or known to management, except as is related to the items described above. For other developments since the filing of the 2019 Form 10-K, refer to the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 20120 and other filings made by the Company subsequent to the filing of the 2019 Form 10-K. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Company's previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and the Company's subsequent filings with the SEC.
