About GWG Holdings, Inc.

GWG Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: GWGH) is a specialty finance company and leader in the life settlement market. GWG, through its subsidiaries, purchases life insurance policies from seniors who no longer want, need or can afford their policies. GWG typically pays these seniors five to eight times more than the cash surrender values paid by insurance companies. GWG's strategy is to efficiently source, own, and manage these non-correlated assets at yields that exceed the costs needed to purchase and finance the policies (in aggregate). GWG finances the purchase and maintenance of a portfolio of policies primarily through a fixed income alternative investment product that is offered through independent broker-dealers and registered investment advisors across the country. GWG's goal is to generate financial returns for GWG's investors and shareholders while providing valuable financial solutions to seniors.

Since 2006, GWG has purchased more than $1.7 billion in life insurance policy benefits. GWG has paid seniors over $283 million through life settlements – approximately $266 million more than the surrendered value offered by their insurance carriers.
