This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement originally filed under cover of Schedule TO-I on July 12, 2010 as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed July 12, 2010 and Amendment No. 2 filed July 14, 2010 (the “Schedule TO”) by Life Quotes, an Illinois corporation (“LQ”) whereby LQ Acquisition, Inc. and Robert S. Bland (“Bland”) offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.003 per share (the “Shares”), of LQ not owned by LQ Acquisition Inc. or Bland, at a purchase price of $4.00 per Share, net to the holder in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated June 25, 2010 as subsequently amended by the Schedules TO-T/13E-3 filed by LQ Acquisition Inc. on June 28, 2010, July 12, 2010, July 14, 2010, and August 3, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) (which, together with any amendments or supplements from time to time thereto, constitute the “Offer”). All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.

The information in the Offer to Purchase, including all schedules and annexes thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in response to all the items of this Schedule TO, including, without limitation, all of the information required by Schedule 13E-3 that is not included in or covered by the items in Schedule TO, and is supplemented by the information specifically provided herein.

Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the Schedule TO-I and the Schedule 13e-3 remains unchanged and is incorporated by reference into this Amendment.

The items of the Schedule TO set forth below are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(1) Item 11 of the Schedule TO is amended as follows:

(a)(5) LQ, LQ Acquisition, Inc., and the directors of LQ have been named defendants in a lawsuit challenging the proposed transaction. The lawsuit Gelfand v. Life Quotes, Inc. et al. No. 2010CH3662 was filed in the Chancery Division of the Circuit Court of Dupage County, Illinois on June 25, 2010 (“the Gelfand Action”). In the Gelfand Action, the plaintiff alleges that LQ, LQ Acquisition, Inc. and the other defendants have breached and/or aided and abetted in the breach of fiduciary duties purportedly owed to LQ’s public stockholders. Among other things, the Gelfand Action seeks a permanent injunction against or rescission of the proposed transaction, damages, and attorney’s fees and expenses. The complaint related to the Gelfand Action is attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(A) hereto.

During the month of July 2010, Duane Morris discussed with attorneys for plaintiffs in the Gelfand Action disclosure issues relating to the potential settlement of the Gelfand Action. Duane Morris and counsel for plaintiffs discussed certain supplemental disclosures that could be made in connection with the Offer and by LQ. Further negotiations took place between Duane Morris and counsel for plaintiffs during the month of July 2010.

On August 3, 2010, the parties to the Gelfand Action entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) containing the terms for the parties’ agreement in principle to resolve the Gelfand Action. The MOU provides that, in consideration for the settlement of the Gelfand Action, LQ must make supplemental disclosures in appropriate filings with the Commission. In the MOU, LQ acknowledges that the efforts of and negotiations with plaintiffs’ counsel and the prosecution of the lawsuit were the sole cause of the supplemental disclosures contemplated by the MOU, The parties to the Gelfand Action will use their best efforts to draft and execute a definitive stipulation of settlement. A copy of the MOU is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(D).
