About the Lawsuit
Life Partners and certain of its Officers and Directors are charged with
making a series of materially false and misleading statements related to
the Company's business and operations in violation of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. On December 21, 2010, The Wall Street Journal
published an article questioning the Company's life-expectancy estimates
and business practices. The article followed a comprehensive
investigation into how the Company sold life settlement policies to
investors. In particular, the article stated that Life Partners "has
made large fees from its life-insurance transactions while often
significantly underestimating the life expectancies of people whose
policies its customers invest in." Then on January 20, 2011, The Wall
Street Journal reported, and the Company subsequently confirmed, that
the SEC was investigating Life Partners. The article reported that "As
part of its probe, the SEC's enforcement division has been seeking
experts to analyze the way Life Partners has estimated the life
expectancies of the insured individuals." On this news, shares of the
Company's stock declined $2.58 per share, or over 17 percent, to close
on January 20, 2011 at $12.46 per share, on unusually heavy trading
volume. The Company's stock continued to decline as additional news
about Life Partners was subsequently reported.
