Introduction

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on February 17, 2009, as amended on October 2, 2009 (the “Filing”), by the Reporting Persons relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Presidential Life Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Information reported in the Filing remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Filing.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On November 6, 2009, Mr. Kurz filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a preliminary consent solicitation statement in connection with his anticipated solicitation of written consents from the stockholders of the Company to consent to the following actions without a meeting of stockholders, as authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law:

	·	Remove, without cause, all members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) (and any person or persons, other than those elected pursuant to the consent solicitation, elected or designated by any of such directors to fill any vacancy or newly created directorship at the time any of the actions proposed to be taken by the consent solicitation become effective), other than Mr. Kurz.

	·	Amend Article III, Section 1 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to fix the size of the Board at nine directors, provided that any amendment to the Bylaws by the Board which would change the number of directors constituting the Board would require the vote of at least 75% of the directors then in office.

	·	Elect Donna L. Brazile, William J. Flynn, John F. X. Mannion, Donald Shaffer, Douglas B. Sosnik, Daniel M. Theriault, Jerry Warshaw and Cliff L. Wood (each, a “Nominee” and collectively, the “Nominees”) as directors of the Company.

	·	Repeal each provision of the Bylaws or amendments to the Bylaws that are adopted after May 13, 2009 (the last date of reported changes) and before the effectiveness of any of the foregoing proposals and the seating of the Nominees on the Board.

Mr. Kurz reserves the right to take any other actions he deems appropriate to protect his rights as a stockholder of the Company.

As disclosed in Mr. Kurz’s preliminary consent solicitation statement, the Nominees, if elected, and Mr. Kurz intend to replace the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer and President, Donald Barnes, with a seasoned, first-class insurance executive. Mr. Kurz and the Nominees, if elected, intend to form a search committee and to identify and appoint a first-class Chief Executive Officer to run the Company as expeditiously as possible following the election of the Nominees to the Board.

THIS AMENDMENT IS NOT A SOLICITATION OF CONSENTS AND THE REPORTING PERSONS ARE NOT HEREBY SOLICITING ANY STOCKHOLDER TO CONSENT TO, OR IN ANY OTHER WAY TAKE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO, ANY OF THE MATTERS DESCRIBED ABOVE. MR. KURZ WILL ONLY OBTAIN CONSENTS PURSUANT TO A DEFINITIVE CONSENT SOLICITATION STATEMENT TO BE FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

SIGNATURE

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, such persons certify that the information set forth herein is true, complete and correct.

Dated: November 9, 2009
