Item 1.	Security and the Issuer
	This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 29, 2011, Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on February 24, 2012 (“Amendment No.1”), and Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on November 15, 2012 with respect to the ordinary shares, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”)31, of CNinsure Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”).  The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 22/F, Yinhai Building, No. 299 Yanjiang Zhong Road, Guangzhou, Guangdong 510110, People’s Republic of China. PILP ceased to be the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock on January 3, 2013. Therefore, this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D constitutes the final amendment to the Original Schedule 13D with respect to PILP and an exit filing for PILP which terminates PILP’s obligation to further amend the Original Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all Items of the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, remain unchanged.
