Item 8.01.    Other Events.
On March 27, 2013, CNO Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that it has determined the final purchase price offered by the Company pursuant to its previously announced cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 7.0% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2016 (the “Debentures”). The final purchase price per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures is $2,123.82. In addition to the final purchase price, holders will receive, in respect of their Debentures that are accepted for purchase, accrued and unpaid interest on such Debentures to, but excluding, the settlement date of the Offer. All amounts payable pursuant to the Offer will be rounded to the nearest cent.

A copy of the Press Release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to purchase, or a solicitation of an offer to sell securities. The Offer may be made only pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company's Offer to Purchase, dated February 11, 2013 (the “Offer to Purchase”), the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and the other related Offer materials. An issuer tender offer statement on Schedule TO, including the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, describing the Offer has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Holders of the Debentures are encouraged to read the Schedule TO and its exhibits carefully before making any decision with respect to the Offer because it contains important information. The Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and other related Offer materials (including Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule TO) are available free of charge at the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. In addition, CNO will provide copies of the Schedule TO and related Offer materials upon request free of charge to holders of the Debentures.
