CUSIP No. 74164M 10 8

This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (the “Initial Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 21, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”), filed with the SEC on April 21, 2011, and Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”), filed with the SEC on November 17, 2011 (as amended, the “Statement”), and is being filed on behalf of Warburg Pincus Private Equity X, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with Warburg Pincus X Partners, L.P., an affiliated Delaware limited partnership, “WP X”), Warburg Pincus X, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the general partner of WP X (“WP X LP”), Warburg Pincus X LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of WP X LP (“WP X LLC”), Warburg Pincus Partners LLC, a New York limited liability company and the sole member of WP X LLC (“WP Partners”), Warburg Pincus & Co., a New York general partnership and the managing member of WP Partners (“WP”), Warburg Pincus LLC, a New York limited liability company that manages WP X (“WP LLC”), and Messrs. Charles R. Kaye and Joseph P. Landy, each a Managing General Partner of WP and Managing Member and Co-President of WP LLC, who may be deemed to control WP X, WP X LP, WP X LLC, WP Partners, WP and WP LLC.  Each of Messrs. Kaye and Landy, WP X, WP X LP, WP X LLC, WP Partners, WP and WP LLC (each of the foregoing, a “Reporting Person,” and collectively, the “Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons”) disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein. 

Information in respect of each Warburg Pincus Reporting Person is given solely by such Warburg Pincus Reporting Person, and no Warburg Pincus Reporting Person has responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of information supplied by any other Warburg Pincus Reporting Person.  Except as otherwise described herein, the information contained in the Statement remains in effect, and, unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Statement. 

Item 2. Identity and Background

The response set forth in Item 2 of the Statement is hereby amended by replacing the third paragraph of Item 2(a) with the following paragraph:

As of the date hereof, the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 29.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 73,797,103 outstanding shares of Common Stock (as stated in Primerica’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on November 8, 2011), minus the 8,920,606 shares which were the subject of the Share Repurchase Agreement (as defined in Amendment No. 2) and are therefore no longer outstanding, and including the 4,103,110 shares of Common Stock that underlie the warrants owned by the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons.

Pursuant to the transaction described in Item 4 below, CIHC (as defined in the Initial Statement) and AMAD (as defined in the Initial Statement) are no longer beneficial owners of any shares of Common Stock, and, accordingly, the beneficial ownership of the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons no longer includes any shares of Common Stock owned by the Citigroup Parties (as defined in the Initial Statement) that were subject to the voting covenants contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as described in Item 4 of the Statement).

It is the understanding of the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons that the Citigroup Parties will make separate filings pursuant to the Exchange Act to report the change in their beneficial ownership.                                                                                                                                                             

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

The response set forth in Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended by adding the following after the last paragraph of Item 4:

The Citigroup Parties have informed the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons that on December 19, 2011, CIHC sold 8,081,542 shares of Common Stock in an underwritten offering, at an offering price to the public of $22.29 per share.  Following this sale, based on information provided to the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons by the Citigroup Parties, CIHC and AMAD beneficially own no shares of Common Stock. 

CUSIP No. 74164M 10 8

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The response set forth in Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended by adding the following after the last paragraph of Item 5(a):

As a result of the voting covenants included in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as described in Item 4 of the Statement), the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have the power to vote any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by CIHC and AMAD for the election of directors nominated by WP X.  The Citigroup Parties have informed the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons that CIHC and AMAD no longer beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.   

(c)    The Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.  The Citigroup Parties sold 8,920,606 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement on November 15, 2011, which shares may have been deemed to be beneficially owned by the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons as a result of the voting covenants included in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as described in Item 4 of the Statement), which transaction was previously reported by the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons in Amendment No. 2.  

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The response set forth in Item 6 of the Statement is hereby amended by adding the following after the last paragraph of Item 6:

Based on information provided to the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons by the Citigroup Parties, the Citigroup Parties no longer beneficially own any shares of Common Stock subject to the voting covenants contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as described in Item 4 of the Statement).
