EXPLANATORY NOTE

This statement on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”), among other things, amends and restates in its entirety Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13G filed on February 10, 2010 by Falcon Equity Partners, L.P., Barbara K. Sokol, John S. Sokol, James K. Sokol and Carla A. Sokol (collectively, the “Sokol Persons”) relating to the common shares, without par value (the “Common Stock”), of Bancinsurance Corporation (the “Company”).

As described more fully in Item 4, below, on March 22, 2010, John S. Sokol delivered a letter to the board of directors of the Company, setting forth a non-binding proposal by which the Sokol Persons, together with Daniel J. Clark, Joseph E. LoConti, Edward Feighan, Charles Hamm and Matthew D. Walter (collectively, the “Proposing Persons”), would acquire all the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company that are not owned by a Proposing Person at a cash purchase price of $6.00 per share.

As a result of this proposal, the Proposing Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, each Proposing Person may be deemed to beneficially own any Common Stock that may be beneficially owned by the other Proposing Persons.

Each of the undersigned who is an individual disclaims beneficial ownership of Common Shares owned by the other undersigned individuals, and this filing shall not be construed as an admission that any of such individuals is, for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any Common Shares owned by another undersigned individual.

Any disclosures herein with respect to persons other than the Proposing Persons are made on information and belief after making inquiry to the appropriate party.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations.

The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Proposing Persons were acquired from the Company at the time of its formation, by devise or bequest, through open market and privately negotiated purchases using personal funds, or through their service as an officer or director of the Company

No debt financing will be required for the Proposing Persons to consummate the proposed transaction, and closing of the proposed transaction will not be conditioned on the Proposing Persons obtaining financing. While such financing will not be a condition to consummation of the proposed transaction, one or more of the Proposing Persons may, in his or her sole discretion, elect to obtain third-party debt financing for some or all of the amounts payable by him or her in connection with the proposed transaction. No Proposing Person is currently party to any agreement, contract, arrangement, understanding, plan or proposal providing for any such financing.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On March 22, 2010, John S. Sokol delivered to the board of directors of the Company a letter (the “Proposal Letter”) setting forth a non-binding proposal by which the Proposing Persons would acquire all the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company that are not owned by a Proposing Person at a cash purchase price of $6.00 per share. The Proposing Persons intend to effect the proposed transaction by forming an acquisition corporation that will be merged with the Company.

A copy of the Proposal Letter is filed with this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 2, and the Proposal Letter is incorporated into this Item 4 by reference. The discussion in this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Proposal Letter.

If the proposed transaction is consummated no shareholder of the Company (other than Proposing Persons) would have an equity interest in the Company, and the Company’s shares would no longer be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The board of directors of the Company has formed a special committee (the “Special Committee”) to consider the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction and to recommend to the board of directors whether to approve it. The Special Committee is composed of independent members of the board of directors who are not Proposing Persons.

The proposed transaction is subject to, among other things:

1. Negotiation and execution of a mutually acceptable definitive merger agreement with customary representations, warranties, covenants and conditions;

2. Approval of the proposed transaction and the merger agreement by the Special Committee and the full Board of Directors and an affirmative recommendation of the proposed transaction to the shareholders of the Company by the Special Committee;

3. Receipt of all necessary government regulatory and third-party contractual approvals for the proposed transaction, including any required approvals of state insurance regulatory authorities;

4. Completion by the Proposing Persons of satisfactory due diligence;

5. Approval of the proposed transaction by such majority of the Company’s shareholders as may be necessary or advisable under applicable law and the Company’s constitutional documents; and

6. The absence of a material adverse change with respect to the Company.

The proposal will expire without any further action of any party on April 22, 2010.

The Proposing Persons are interested only in acquiring the publicly held shares of Common Stock, and do not intend to sell their stake in the Company or consider any strategic transaction involving the Company that would reduce their ownership stake in the Company. In the aggregate, they hold 74.17% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Except as described herein, the Proposing Persons have not formulated any plans, proposals or otherwise that related to or would otherwise result in any matter required to be disclosed pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.

According to its Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2010, as of February 2, 2010, the Company had 5,205,706 shares of its Common Stock outstanding. The Proposing Persons have the following interests in the Common Stock:
