<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Individual Disability &#150; Closed Block segment generally consists of individual disability insurance policies that were designed to
be distributed to individuals in a non-workplace setting and that were written or assumed prior to the restructuring of our individual disability business. This restructuring principally occurred during the period from 1994 through 1998 and included
changes in product offerings, pricing, distribution, and underwriting. During this period we gradually changed our distribution focus for individual disability insurance to workplace distribution as opposed to individual setting distribution,
resulting in many of these changes. A minimal amount of new business continued to be sold subsequent to these changes, but we stopped selling new policies in this segment at the beginning of 2004 other than update features contractually allowable on
existing policies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Corporate and Other Segment </I></B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Corporate and Other segment includes investment income on corporate assets not specifically allocated to a line of business, interest
expense on corporate debt other than non-recourse debt, and certain other corporate income and expense not allocated to a line of business. The Corporate and Other segment also includes results from certain Unum US insurance products not actively
marketed, including individual life and corporate-owned life insurance, reinsurance pools and management operations, group pension, health insurance, and individual annuities. We expect operating revenue and income resulting from these insurance
products to decline over time as these business lines wind down. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Principal Executive Offices </B></FONT></P>

</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of June&nbsp;30, 2010, Unum Group had long-term debt, including senior secured notes and junior subordinated debt
securities, totaling $2,266.8 million and short-term debt of $225.1 million. Short-term debt consisted of our 7.625% senior notes due March 2011. The senior notes and the indenture governing the senior notes generally do not contain restrictive
covenants, such as a limitation on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us. Thus, we may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, which could affect our ability to
make payments under the senior notes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Holders of senior notes have only limited rights of acceleration. </I></B></FONT></P>

obligations under the senior notes is dependent upon our ability to obtain cash dividends or other cash payments or loans from our subsidiaries, including our U.S. insurance subsidiaries and Unum Limited. Our insurance company subsidiaries are
subject to regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends and on other transfers of funds to us, which could impair our ability to meet our debt obligations under the senior notes. See &#147;Liquidity and Capital Resources&#148; included in

2011 which we expect to repay in connection with this offering, was $2,491.9 million, of which $737.5 million was secured. All unsecured indebtedness would rank equal in right of payment with the senior notes. All obligations (including insurance

subsidiary, the assets of that subsidiary would be used to satisfy claims of policyholders and creditors of the subsidiary rather than our creditors. As a result of the application of the subsidiary&#146;s assets to satisfy claims of policyholders
and creditors, the value of the stock of the subsidiary would be diminished and perhaps rendered worthless. Any such diminution in the value of the shares of our subsidiaries would adversely impact our financial condition and possibly impair our
ability to meet our obligations on the debt securities. In addition, any liquidation of the assets of our subsidiaries to satisfy claims of the subsidiary&#146;s policyholders and creditors might make it impossible for such subsidiary to pay

description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the indenture dated as of September 30,&nbsp;2009 (the &#147;indenture&#148;), between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. A copy of the indenture is on file
with the SEC and may be obtained by accessing the internet address provided or contacting us as described under &#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; You should read the indenture, the associated documents and the following description
carefully to fully understand the terms of the senior notes. In addition, to the extent that the following description is not consistent with that contained in the accompanying prospectus under &#147;Description of Debt Securities&#148; you should

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The senior notes will be a series of senior debt securities described in the accompanying prospectus. We will issue the senior notes under
the indenture. The senior notes will initially be limited in aggregate principal amount to $400,000,000. The senior notes will be issued only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The senior notes will mature on September 15, 2020 (the &#147;stated maturity date&#148;) and will bear interest at the rate of 5.625%
per year. Interest will accrue from September 15, 2010 or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest on the senior notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and
September 15 of each year, commencing March 15, 2011 (or, if such day is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day (without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the
date the payment was originally payable), to the persons in whose names the senior notes are registered at the close of business on the preceding&nbsp;March 1 or September 1, as the case may be (whether or not a business day), provided that interest
payable at the stated maturity date or upon redemption will be paid to the person to whom principal is payable. Interest on the senior notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The trustee will act as
paying agent for the senior notes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We may, without the consent of the holders, reopen the series of senior notes and issue
additional senior notes under the indenture with the same terms (other than, if applicable, the initial interest payment date and initial interest accrual date) and with the same CUSIP number as the senior notes offered hereby in an unlimited
aggregate principal amount, provided that no additional senior notes may be issued unless they will be fungible with the senior notes for U.S. federal income tax and securities law purposes. </FONT></P>

Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the senior notes represented by a global note to those persons may be limited. In addition, because DTC can act only on behalf of its participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who hold
interests through participants, the ability of a person having an interest in the senior notes represented by a global note to pledge or transfer those interests to persons or entities that do not participate in DTC&#146;s system, or otherwise to
take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect of such interest. </FONT></P>

by that global note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated notes and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the indenture or under the senior notes for any purpose,
including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the trustee. Accordingly, each holder owning a beneficial interest in a global note must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that holder is not a direct or indirect

in the global note as shown in the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practice as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. The participants will be responsible for those payments. </FONT></P>

circumstances or that may be relevant to certain types of investors subject to special rules (for example, banks and other financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, persons that are
broker-dealers, traders in securities who elect the mark to market method of accounting for their securities, U.S. Holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, certain former U.S. citizens or long-term
residents, investors in partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons holding the senior notes as part of a &#147;straddle,&#148; &#147;hedge,&#148; &#147;conversion transaction&#148; or other integrated transaction). The discussion set
forth below is limited to initial investors who hold the senior notes as capital assets within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;) and who purchase the senior notes for cash at the
initial &#147;issue price&#148; (i.e., the first price to the public, excluding bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers, at which a substantial amount of the
senior notes is sold for money). In addition, this discussion does not address the effect of federal alternative minimum tax, gift or estate tax laws, or any state, local or foreign tax laws. Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon
provisions of the Code, the legislative history thereof, U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder and administrative rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof. Such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified (including
changes in effective dates, and possibly with retroactive effect) so as to result in U.S. federal income tax considerations different from those discussed below. </FONT></P>

discount, if any. As such, payments of stated interest on the senior notes generally will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time such payments are received or accrued in accordance with the U.S. Holder&#146;s method of
accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Sale, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of the Senior Notes </I></B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Upon the sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of senior notes, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the
difference between (1)&nbsp;the amount realized on such disposition (excluding any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid interest) and (2)&nbsp;such holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the senior notes. A holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the
senior notes generally will equal the amount paid for the senior notes less any principal payments received by such holder. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder in respect of the disposition generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the senior notes for more than one year at the time of such disposition. A U.S. Holder that is an individual may be entitled to preferential treatment for net long-term capital gains. The
ability of a U.S. Holder to offset capital losses against ordinary income is limited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts realized in connection with a sale, redemption or other taxable disposition with respect to accrued interest not
previously includible in income will be treated as ordinary interest income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Medicare Tax </I></B></FONT></P>

into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, will be subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1)&nbsp;the U.S. Holder&#146;s &#147;net investment income&#148; for the relevant taxable year and (2)&nbsp;the excess of the U.S.
Holder&#146;s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will be between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual&#146;s circumstances). A U.S. Holder&#146;s net
investment income will generally include its interest income and its net gains from the disposition of senior notes, unless such interest income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a
trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If you are a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and
gains in respect of your investment in the senior notes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax </I></B></FONT></P>

information reporting to the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient, and may be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax if the recipient of the payment fails to supply an accurate taxpayer
identification number or otherwise fails to comply with applicable U.S. information reporting or certification requirements. Backup withholding does not represent an additional income tax. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules is
allowable as a credit against the holder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. </FONT></P>

trusts&#146; preferred securities. We will own all of the common securities. Each trust is subject to the terms of its declaration of trust that we have executed as the depositor of the trust and which has also been executed by trustees of the
trust. At the time a trust issues any preferred securities, the applicable declaration of trust will be amended and restated to set the terms of the preferred securities, which we refer to as the &#147;amended declaration.&#148; The common
securities will represent an aggregate liquidation amount equal to at least 3% of each trust&#146;s total capitalization. The preferred securities will represent the remaining approximate 97% of each trust&#146;s total capitalization. The terms of
the common securities will also be contained in the amended declaration and the common securities will rank equally, and payments will be made ratably, with the preferred securities. However, if there are certain continuing payment events of default
under the subordinated indenture and any supplemental indenture which contains the terms of the junior subordinated debt securities, our rights as holder of the common securities to distributions, liquidation, redemption and other payments from the
trust will be subordinated to the rights to those payments of the holders of the preferred securities. Each trust will use the proceeds of the sale of the preferred securities and the common securities to invest in junior subordinated debt
securities that we will issue to the trust. The preferred securities will be guaranteed by us in the manner described later in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. </FONT></P>

the trusts to acquire any assets other than the junior subordinated debt securities or to issue any securities other than the trust securities or to incur any other indebtedness. </FONT></P>

trustees. Most of the trustees will be employees, officers or affiliates of ours and will be referred to as administrative trustees. One trustee of each trust, the property trustee, will be a financial institution that is not affiliated with us and
that has a minimum of combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million. The property trustee will act as indenture trustee for the purpose of compliance with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Unless the property trustee has a
principal place of business in the State of Delaware, and meets other legal requirements, we will appoint another trustee for each trust who meets these requirements to serve as the Delaware trustee. </FONT></P>

to as the &#147;debt securities,&#148; that we may offer from time to time. The specific terms of any debt securities we may offer and the extent, if any, to which these general terms and provisions may or may not apply to the debt securities will

the indentures from time to time after we execute them. The following description of the debt securities may not be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of either the senior or the subordinated indenture
relating to the particular series of debt securities, each of which is an exhibit to the registration statement that contains this prospectus. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this description will have the meanings given to them in the

securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names as indirect owners of those securities. As we
discuss below, indirect owners are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect owners. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under each indenture, only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized
as the holder of that security. Consequently, for debt securities issued in global form, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities and we will make all payments on the securities, including deliveries of any property
other than cash, to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under
agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a result, investors will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a
bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary&#146;s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect owners, and not
holders, of the securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B></B><B><I>Street Name and Other Indirect Holders</I></B><B> </B></FONT></P>

hold their securities in their own names or in street name. Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a
beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution. We generally will not recognize investors who hold debt securities in accounts at banks or brokers in &#147;street name&#148; as legal holders of
debt securities. Instead, we would recognize only the bank or broker, or the financial institution the bank or broker uses to hold its debt securities. These intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions pass along principal, interest
and other payments on the debt securities, either because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. If you hold debt securities in street name, you are responsible for checking with your own

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A &#147;business combination&#148; is generally a merger or consolidation involving a
company, a disposition of a substantial part of the assets or securities of a company, a liquidation or dissolution of a company, or a certain type of reclassification of securities of a company. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are also subject to restrictions imposed by Delaware law on transactions with interested stockholders. These restrictions are similar
to the restrictions contained in our restated certificate of incorporation described above. In order to engage in any transaction that is subject to the provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation or the provisions of Delaware law, the
requirements of both the restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law must be satisfied. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Special Meetings of

amended and restated by-laws establish advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals concerning nominations for election to the board of directors and new business to be brought before meetings of stockholders. These procedures require that
notice of such stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, we must receive the notice at our principal executive offices not less
than 75 nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the annual meeting of stockholders before the one in which the stockholder proposal is to be considered. The notice must contain information required by the amended and restated
by-laws. These provisions make it procedurally more difficult for a stockholder to place a proposed nomination or new business proposal on the meeting agenda and therefore may reduce the likelihood that a stockholder will seek to take independent
action to replace directors or with respect to other matters that are not supported by management. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Action of Stockholders

the affirmative vote of majority of our outstanding stock. As described below, however, certain amendments to our restated certificate of incorporation may require a supermajority vote. </FONT></P>
