This Amendment No. 3 further amends and supplements the combined Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 13, 2006, as amended February 20, 2007 and March 5, 2007, by AUSA Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), AUSA Holding Company, a Maryland corporation (“Parent”), AEGON USA, Inc., an Iowa corporation (“AEGON USA”), and AEGON N.V., a limited liability stock company organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“AEGON NV”). Purchaser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, Parent is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON USA, and AEGON USA is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON NV, the ultimate parent company of Purchaser, Parent and AEGON USA. When referring to Purchaser, Parent, AEGON USA and AEGON NV together, we refer to them as the “AEGON Group” or the “Offerors.” This Amendment No. 3 relates to the Offer by the Purchaser to purchase the outstanding shares (other than shares owned by Parent) of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Clark Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), including the associated rights (“Rights”) to purchase shares of preferred stock of the Company issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, as amended (the “Rights Agreement”), dated as of July 10, 1998, between the Company and The Bank of New York, as rights agent (the Common Stock, together with the Rights, the “Shares”). The Offer Price is $17.21 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated December 13, 2006, as amended February 20, 2007 and March 5, 2007 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO, respectively (which, together with the amendments contained in this Amendment No. 3 and any other amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the same meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule TO or the Offer to Purchase.

The information in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal is incorporated in this Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule TO by reference in response to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.

link2 "ITEM 4"

ITEM 4.

Item 4 of Schedule TO, which incorporates by reference information contained in the Offer to Purchase, is hereby amended to add the following:

The Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on Tuesday, March 6, 2007. Based on preliminary information, the Depositary for the Offer has advised Parent that 13,094,241 Shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn, and that approximately 1,449,608 Shares were tendered by notice of guaranteed delivery. The tendered Shares, together with the Shares already owned by Parent or Purchaser, represent approximately 94.5% of the Shares of Clark, Inc. Common Stock currently outstanding. All validly tendered Shares have been accepted for payment in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

Because the Shares tendered, together with the Shares already owned by Parent or Purchaser, represent in excess of 90% of the outstanding shares of Clark, Inc., Parent will be able to effect a short-form merger of Purchaser with and into the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law without the approval of the Stockholders of the Company. As soon as practical following receipt by the Depositary of the remaining Shares tendered through guaranteed delivery procedures and the closing of the Offer, Parent intends to effect such merger of Purchaser with and into the Company. The Company will continue as the surviving entity and will be wholly-owned by Parent. Pursuant to the Merger, any Shares of the Company not purchased in the Offer, other than Shares owned by Parent, Purchaser or the Company (which Shares will be cancelled) and Shares owned by persons who properly perfect appraisal rights under Delaware law, will be converted into the right to receive $17.21 per share in cash.
