Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 7, 2019 as previously amended on Schedule 13D/A filed with the Commission on April 17, 2019 (as amended, this “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) of GWG Holdings, Inc. (the “Issuer”). The Issuer’s principal executive office is located at 220 South Sixth Street, Suite 1200, Minneapolis, MN 55402. Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosure set forth in the Schedule 13D shall remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transactions

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following:

 

On April 26, 2019, the parties to the Stockholders Agreement entered into an Amendment to and Termination of Stockholders Agreement pursuant to which such parties agreed to terminate the Stockholders Agreement and all of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder. In connection with the termination of the Stockholders Agreement, each of the Seller Trusts released any and all claims against the Issuer that any of them may have.

 

The Stockholders Agreement provided (among other standstill provisions) that until the Seller Trusts owned, in the aggregate, voting securities representing less than 10% of the total voting power of all voting securities of the Issuer, all voting securities of the Issuer voted by the Seller Trusts would be voted solely in proportion with the votes cast by all other holders of voting securities of the Issuer on the matter. As a result of the termination of the Stockholders Agreement, the Seller Trusts are now entitled to full voting rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock they own. Because the Seller Trusts, collectively, own approximately 78.6% of the Issuer’s outstanding voting securities, the Seller Trusts are entitled to cast a majority of the votes on all matters requiring stockholder votes. The Trust Advisors have sole decision-making authority with respect to each of the Seller Trusts, including joint voting power and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock held by each of the Seller Trusts.

 

In addition, on April 26, 2019, Murray T. Holland, a Trust Advisor of the Seller Trusts, was appointed by the Board as interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 

Despite the control position now held by the Seller Trusts, and notwithstanding that Mr. Holland was appointed the Issuer’s interim Chief Executive Officer as of April 26, 2019, the Trust Advisors jointly confirm on behalf of the Reporting Persons that, other than as described in or contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the Issuer’s Schedule 14F-1, the Reporting Persons are not aware of, and do not otherwise have, any present plans which relate to or would result in (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer (other than pursuant to the Orderly Marketing Agreement as described in Item 6 of the Original Schedule); (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

   

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

No amendments hereto. 

 

11

 

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 6 of the Statement is hereby amended by the addition of the following:

 

See Item 4 above for a description of the Amendment to and Termination of Stockholders Agreement. The Amendment to and Termination of Stockholder Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D/A.

 

In connection with the Amendment to and Termination of Stockholders Agreement, the Seller Trusts executed a release of claims in connection with the entering into of the Purchase Agreement by the parties thereto and a release of claims in connectin with certain post-cloisng matters (each, a “Release”) whereby the Seller Trusts released, dischared and waived any and all claims against the parties to the Purchase Agreement (each, a “Released Party”) and each of their respective partners, members, managers, shareholders, directors, officers and employees, as applicable, and their respective successors in respect of any and all losses or liabilities of whatever kind or nature, in law, equity or otherwise, related to (a) the authorization, execution, delivery or performance by such Released Party of the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or document contemplated by the Purchase Agreement to be executed by such Released Party in connection therewith (each, an “Other Transaction Document”) or (b) the consummation by such Released Party of any of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or any Other Transaction Document.

 

In addition, each Release contains a covenant on behalf of each Seller Trust to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or commencing any legal proceeding against any Released Party, or any partner, member, manager, shareholder, director, officer or employee, as applicable, of any Released Party or any successor of any Released Party, based upon any matter released, discharged or waived by such Releasor pursuant to the release of claims described above.
