These statements relate to the Schedule 13D filed on August 25, 1999 by Caroline
W. Singleton as the sole trustee of the Singleton Family Trust, as amended by
Amendment No. 1 filed on February 11, 2000 and Amendment No. 2 filed on April
21, 2000, with regard to the beneficial ownership of common stock, par value
$0.10 per share, of Unitrin, Inc. (the "Company") and constitutes Amendment No.
3 thereto.
The following items are amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
I, as sole trustee of the Survivor's Trust of the Singleton Family Trust
(the "Trust"), contributed 14,484,520 shares of the Company (the "Shares") to
the Singleton Group LLC (the "LLC") on August 18, 2000. As a result of the
transfer of the Shares to the LLC, I, as trustee of the Trust, no longer have
direct beneficial ownership of the Shares. However, since I, as trustee of the
Trust, had a majority interest in the LLC at the time of the transfer of the
Shares to the LLC, I was deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the
Shares in my capacity as trustee of the Trust. I no longer have a majority
interest in the LLC as a result of transfers of some of my membership interests
in the LLC to other persons on August 21, 2000. Accordingly, I may no longer be
deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares in my capacity as
trustee of the Trust.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
I have transferred the Shares from the Trust to the LLC for personal
financial planning purposes.
Other than as described in Item 3, I have no plans or proposals that
relate to or would result in any matter required to be disclosed in response to
paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
I no longer have direct or indirect voting or dispositive power with
respect to the Shares in my capacity as trustee of the Trust. However, I share
dispositive power with respect to the Shares in my capacity as a manager of the
LLC. Concurrent with this filing, I am reporting beneficial ownership of the
Shares as a member of a group in my capacity as a manager of the LLC on a joint
13D with the LLC and the other managers of the LLC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer.
See response to Item 5.
