INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 3 to Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the “Final Amendment”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) jointly by the following persons: Alfa Corporation (“Alfa Corp.”); Alfa Mutual Insurance Company (“AMI”), Alfa Mutual Fire Insurance Company (“AMF” and together with AMI, the “Mutual Group”) and Alfa Delaware Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”).

The Final Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) to report the final results of the transaction which is the subject of this Schedule 13E-3. Except as set forth in this Final Amendment, all information in this Schedule 13E-3 remains unchanged.

Item 15. Additional Information

Item 1011(b) of Regulation M-A:

Item 15(b) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On April 15, 2008, at a special meeting of Alfa Corp.’s stockholders, Alfa Corp.’s stockholders voted to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 4, 2007, among Alfa Corp., the Mutual Group and Merger Sub (the “Merger Agreement”).

On April 15, 2008, Alfa Corp. filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which Merger Sub, an entity organized by the Mutual Group solely for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Alfa Corp.’s common stock not already owned by the Mutual Group, was merged with and into Alfa Corp., with Alfa Corp. continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Alfa Corp. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mutual Group. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Alfa Corp. common stock, par value $1.00 per share, outstanding at the effective time of the Merger (other than shares owned by the Mutual Group, Merger Sub, Alfa Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, holders of shares subject to certain company awards, and holders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $22.00 in cash, without interest.

As a result of the Merger, Alfa Corp.’s common stock ceased to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market as of the close of trading on April 15, 2008 and the Nasdaq Global Select Market has filed an application on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report that the common stock of Alfa Corp. is no longer listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Alfa Corp. expects to file a Form 15 on or about April 28, 2008, thus suspending Alfa Corp.’s reporting obligations under Sections 12 and 15 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
