Introduction.
     Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k), this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D is filed by AMG Investments, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“AMG”), Steven A. Calabrese and Richard M. Osborne, relating to shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Shares”), of LNB Bancorp, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”).
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
     Item 3 is amended and supplemented as follows:
     The Shares reported in Item 5(c) as having been acquired by AMG were acquired for the aggregate purchase price of approximately $214,502 (excluding commissions) with margin debt from Wachovia Securities. Interest on the margin debt is computed at a select rate above the rate banks charge securities brokers (“call money rate”) and is subject to change, without notice, if the call money rate changes. To the extent permitted by law, Wachovia has a lien on certain of the Shares reported herein as having been acquired by AMG.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     Item 4 is amended and supplemented as follows:
     As LNB’s largest shareholder, AMG has a significant stake in understanding the accounting policies and procedures adopted by LNB. On December 7, 2007, AMG sent a letter to LNB requesting that LNB explain to all shareholders through clear and transparent disclosure its early adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The letter is attached as Exhibit 7.1.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     Items 5(a) and 5(c) are amended and supplemented as follows:
     (a) According to the most recently available filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company, there are 7,295,663 Shares outstanding.
     AMG beneficially owns 580,105 Shares, or 7.95% of the outstanding Shares. As managing members of AMG, each of Mr. Calabrese and Mr. Osborne may be deemed to beneficially own all Shares held by AMG.
     (c) Since the filing of Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D on October 26, 2007, AMG purchased 15,200 Shares in open market transactions as set forth below:
