Life Quotes, Inc. Announces Completion of Tender Offer for Shares of Life Quotes, Inc. by LQ Acquisition, Inc.

Offer Price of $4.00 in Cash per Share for Public Stake

Darien, IL, August 13, 2010 — Life Quotes, Inc. (Nasdaq: QUOT) announced today the completion of the tender offer by LQ Acquisition, Inc. (“LQA”) to acquire all of the outstanding publicly held shares in Life Quotes, Inc. (“Life Quotes”) that it did not own for $4.00 per share in cash (the “Tender Offer”).

As previously announced, the offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on August 12, 2010. Based on information provided by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Tender Offer, as of the close of business on the expiration date of the tender offer 4,666,256 shares of Life Quotes common stock were validly tendered and not withdrawn. The tendered shares represent approximately 68% of Life Quotes’ outstanding shares of common stock. Together with the approximately 30% of outstanding shares already held by LQA, LQA now holds a total of approximately 6,774,301 shares or 98% of the 6,911,791 shares outstanding of Life Quotes. All Life Quotes shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn immediately prior to the expiration of the tender offer have been accepted by LQA for payment. LQA will pay for all such shares promptly.

LQA, or one of its affiliates, will promptly acquire the remaining publicly held shares of Life Quotes through a short-form merger under Delaware law with the completion of the merger anticipated to occur on or about August 13, 2010. As a result of the merger, any remaining shares of Life Quotes common stock will be cancelled pursuant to the merger in consideration for the same offer price of $4.00 cash paid in the tender offer, without interest and less any required withholding taxes (other than shares of Life Quotes common stock for which appraisal rights are validly exercised under Delaware law). Upon completion of the merger, Life Quotes shares will cease to be traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, and Life Quotes will no longer be required to file certain information and periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
