Item 8.01. Other Events
On September 25, 2012, in the legal proceeding styled State of Texas v. Life Partners Holdings, Inc. et al (Tex. Dist. [201st Judicial Dist.], Cause No. D-1-GV-12-001128), the district court ruled that the life settlement transactions facilitated by Life Partners Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary, Life Partners, Inc. (“we”), are not securities under Texas law. Although subject to appeal, the ruling effectively ends the Texas Attorney General’s suit against us. The ruling also dissolves a temporary restraining order, which will permit us to pay the $0.10 dividend we had previously declared to shareholders of record as of September 3, 2012.
On September 26, 2012, we issued a press release about the ruling and its consequences. The press release is furnished as an exhibit and is posted on our website (www.lphi.com).
The information in this Form 8-K under Item 8.01 and Exhibit 99.1 are not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor is the information incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific referencing in such filing.
