Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Schedule 13D/A constitutes the second amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 15, 2011 (the “Statement”) and amended by Amendment No. 1 filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on August 12, 2011 (the “Amendments”) with respect to the common stock, $0.10 par value (the “Shares”) of Unum Group (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 1 Fountain Square, Chattanooga, TN 37402. Except as amended by this Schedule 13D/A, the Statement remains in full force and effect.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

RILLC and the Managed Accounts purchased an aggregate of 5,463,969 Shares for a total consideration (including brokerage commissions) of $113.2 million derived from capital of RILLC and the Managed Accounts.

The Relational LPs purchased an aggregate of 14,136,587 Shares for total consideration (including brokerage commissions) of $315.6 million derived from the capital of the Relational LPs and margin borrowings from Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CSSU”) for RFP, RCP, RH1, RI XX and RI XXIII.

Interest on the margin debt balance of the margin accounts described above is charged at the then Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points. CSSU has a lien on the Shares held by RFP, RCP, RH1, RI XX and RI XXIII to secure repayment of the margin borrowings described above.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) As of the date of this Statement, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 19,600,556 Shares, constituting 6.46% of the outstanding Shares. The percentage of Shares owned is based upon 303,460,132 Shares outstanding on July 29, 2011, as set forth in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to have direct beneficial ownership of the Shares as follows:

NAME	NUMBER OF SHARES	% OF OUTSTANDING SHARES		VOTING AND DISPOSITIVE POWER
RILLC	5,463,969	1.80	%	Sole
RILP	3,429,655	1.13	%	Sole
RFP	44,492	0.01	%	Sole
RCP	186,954	0.06	%	Sole
RH1	1,216,103	0.40	%	Sole
RH6	909,028	0.30	%	Sole
RI VIII	3,599,324	1.19	%	Sole
RI IX	1,103,552	0.36	%	Sole
RI X	395,525	0.13	%	Sole
RI XV	426,767	0.14	%	Sole
RI XVI	371,962	0.12	%	Sole
RI XX	360,698	0.12	%	Sole
RI XXII	622,788	0.21	%	Sole
RI XXIII	475,890	0.16	%	Sole
RIA 1	993,849	0.33	%	Sole

RILLC, individually and in its capacity as an investment adviser, may be deemed to possess direct beneficial ownership of the 5,463,969 Shares that are owned by it and the Managed Accounts. Additionally, RILLC, as the sole general partner, or sole managing member of the general partner, of each of the Relational LPs may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) the 14,136,587 Shares beneficially owned by the Relational LPs because the limited partnership agreements of the Relational LPs specify that RILLC has sole investment discretion and voting authority with respect to those Shares.

Each of Messrs. Whitworth and Batchelder, as Principals of RILLC, may be deemed to share indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares which RILLC may beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Whitworth and Batchelder disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.

To the best of the knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, other than as set forth above, none of the persons named in Item 2 is the beneficial owner of any Shares.

(b) See item (a) above.

(c) Except as set forth in Exhibit A to this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Shares during the past sixty days not previously reported.

(d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares covered by this Statement, except that dividends from, and proceeds from the sale of, the Shares held by accounts managed by RILLC may be delivered to such accounts.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits

The following Exhibits are filed herewith:

Exhibit A – Information concerning transactions in the Shares effected by the Reporting Persons in the last 60 days not previously reported.

Signature

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
