INTRODUCTION
     This Amendment No. 2 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (the “Transaction Statement”), is being filed by: (1) Vertrue Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Vertrue”), the issuer of the Common Stock that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction, (2) Gary A. Johnson, an individual and a director and the Chief Executive Officer of Vertrue, (3) Velo Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), (4) Velo Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), (5) One Equity Partners II L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, (6) Oak Investment Partners XII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, (7) Rho Ventures V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and (8) Rho Ventures V, Affiliates, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (collectively with Vertrue, the “Filing Persons”).
     Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 22, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Vertrue, Parent and Merger Sub, Merger Sub will merge with and into Vertrue, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and Vertrue will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, each share of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares held by stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law and shares owned by Parent (including shares contributed to Parent in exchange for equity securities of Parent by Gary A. Johnson or any other members of Vertrue’s senior management who are invited to and elect to so invest in Parent), Merger Sub, Vertrue and any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries) will be converted into the right to receive $48.50 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax. The Merger Agreement also provides that upon consummation of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase shares of the Common Stock, vested or unvested, will be cancelled and will only entitle the holder of such option to receive a cash payment equal to the total number of shares of the Common Stock subject to such option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger multiplied by the amount (if any) by which $48.50 exceeds the option exercise price, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Additionally, each outstanding share of restricted stock of Vertrue will be cancelled and will only entitle the holder of such restricted stock to receive a cash payment of $48.50, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. In connection with the Merger, Gary A. Johnson has entered into an agreement with Parent, pursuant to which he has agreed to contribute up to $20,000,000 in value of his shares of the Common Stock to Parent in connection with the Merger, valued at $48.50 per share, in exchange for equity interests in Parent and has committed to vote “FOR” the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Prior to completion of the Merger, other current members of Vertrue’s senior management are expected to be provided an opportunity to invest in Parent by contributing a portion of their shares of the Common Stock to Parent in exchange for equity interest in Parent or otherwise purchasing equity securities of Parent in connection with the consummation of the Merger. As of the date of this Transaction Statement, no decision has been made regarding which additional members of Vertrue’s senior management will invest in Parent.
     Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, Vertrue is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), relating to the special meeting of the stockholders of Vertrue, at which the stockholders will consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. The adoption of the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least a majority of the shares of the Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the record date relating to the special meeting of Vertrue’s stockholders.
     The cross references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3. The information contained in the Proxy Statement, including all annexes thereto, is incorporated in its entirety herein by this reference, and the responses to each Item in this Transaction Statement are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Proxy Statement and the annexes thereto.
