Item 5.03.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.


On February 28, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CNO Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the Company's Bylaws, effective February 28, 2013, to provide that the number of directors shall be fixed from time to time by the Board. The Board also adopted a resolution fixing the number of directors at the current Board size of nine members. Previously, the Bylaws had specified the exact number of directors, which required the Board to amend the Bylaws each time the number of directors changed. This amendment to the Bylaws does not change the number of directors currently serving on the Board or change the authority of the Board to change the size of the Board from time to time. The Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company reflecting this change are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.


Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure.


On February 28, 2013, the Company issued a press release to announce that the Board had declared a quarterly cash dividend of two cents per share on the Company's common stock and to announce the record date and meeting date for the Company's annual meeting of shareholders. A copy of the Company's press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
