EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This amendment to Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”), among other things, amends the Schedule 13D filed on April 21, 2010 (the “April 21st 13D ”) by Falcon Equity Partners, L.P., Barbara K. Sokol, John S. Sokol, James K. Sokol, Carla A. Sokol, Daniel J. Clark, Joseph E. LoConti, Edward Feighan, Charles Hamm and Matthew D. Walter (collectively, the “Proposing Persons”) relating to the common shares, without par value (the “Common Stock”), of Bancinsurance Corporation (the “Company”).

As described more fully in the April 21st 13D, 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 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 “Original Proposal”). The Original Proposal was set to expire automatically on April 22, 2010. On April 21, 2010, John S. Sokol delivered a letter to the board of directors of the Company which extended the Original Proposal until it is affirmatively withdrawn by the Proposing Persons.
 
A subsequent amended statement on Schedule 13D was filed on May 25, 2010, describing a transaction whereby Mr. Walter, Mr. Clark and Mr. Hamm purchased Common Shares from Mr. Feighan.  Each party to this transaction is a Proposing Person.

As described more fully in Items 4, 5 and 6 below, on June 30, 2010, John S. Sokol delivered a letter to the board of directors of the Company (the “Revised Proposal Letter”), setting forth two changes to the terms of the Original Proposal.  The changes are an increase in the proposed cash purchase price to $7.25 per share and the addition of a financing contingency to the proposed transaction.  Except as described herein, the Revised Proposal Letter did not otherwise change the terms and conditions of the Original Proposal.  The Original Proposal as modified by the Revised Proposal Letter is sometimes referred to herein as the “Proposal”.

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.

The Proposing Persons now expect to use third-party financing to fund all or a portion of the purchase price for the proposed transaction.  Closing of the proposed transaction will be conditioned on the Proposing Persons obtaining this financing on acceptable terms.  The Proposing Persons are not currently party to any agreement, contract, arrangement, understanding, plan or proposal providing for such financing.
 
Item 4.  Purpose of Transactions.
 
On March 22, 2010, John S. Sokol delivered to the board of directors of the Company a letter (the “Original 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.  Under the terms of the Original Proposal Letter, the proposal was set to expire automatically on April 22, 2010.  On April 21, 2010, John S. Sokol delivered a letter to the board of directors of the Company (the “Extension Letter”) which extended the proposal until it is affirmatively withdrawn by the Proposing Persons.  According to the Extension Letter, the Proposing Persons may withdraw the proposal at any time in their sole discretion.  

On June 30, 2010, John S. Sokol delivered to the board of directors of the Company the Revised Proposal Letter setting forth two changes to the proposals set forth in the Original Proposal Letter.  First, the Proposing Persons have increased the proposed cash purchase price to $7.25 per share.  Secondly, the Proposing Persons now expect to use third-party financing to fund all or a portion of the purchase of the shares of Common Stock that will be purchased pursuant to the proposed transaction.  Obtaining this financing on acceptable terms will be a condition to the closing of the proposed transaction.  Except as described herein, the Revised Proposal Letter does not otherwise change the terms or conditions of the proposal set forth in the Original Proposal Letter.
 
A copy of the Original Proposal Letter is filed with this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D as Exhibit 2, a copy of the Extension Letter is filed with this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D as Exhibit 3, and the Revised Proposal Letter is filed with this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D as Exhibit 4.  The Extension Letter, the Original Proposal Letter and the Revised Proposal Letter are incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.  The discussion in this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Extension Letter, the Original Proposal Letter, and the Revised 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;

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

7. The Proposing Persons obtaining adequate financing on acceptable terms.

 
16

 
 
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 74.59% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.
 
According to its Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 2010, as of April 16, 2010, the Company had 5,205,706 shares of its Common Stock outstanding.  The Proposing Persons have the following interests in the Common Stock:
