ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR PROXY STATEMENT

DATED APRIL 27, 2020

The following additional material provides updated information relating to our proxy statement dated March 26, 2020 delivered in connection with the annual meeting of stockholders of CNO Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) to be held via webcast at 8:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on May 8, 2020.

As discussed in the proxy statement, the Company’s Board of Directors has recommended a vote “FOR” Proposal 4, the advisory vote to approve the executive compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. Glass Lewis, one of the leading proxy advisory firms, has recommended a vote “FOR” Proposal 4. Another proxy advisory firm, Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), has recommended a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 4 based on its view that the Company appeared to have paid former Chief Financial Officer, Erik M. Helding, severance following a voluntary separation.

This additional material clarifies that Mr. Helding’s separation was an involuntary termination by the Company without “Just Cause” (as such phrase is defined in his employment agreement), which triggered the payment of severance in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement. The payments made by the Company to Mr. Helding in connection with his separation from the Company were contractually required pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. Mr. Helding did not receive any discretionary payments in connection with his separation.
