SSEK Law Firm Continues Investigation in GWG Holdings, GWG Expected to File Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Dallas-Based Alternative Asset Firm Expected to Seek Bankruptcy Protection Very Soon 

HOUSTON, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to sources, GWG Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: GWGH ) is preparing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The reports come after the Texas-based alternative asset firm notified the SEC in an April 1, 2022 filing that it was not able to submit its 2021 yearly report and other financial statements because it has yet to retain an auditor since Grant Thornton stepped down from that role in December 2021. 

Not having an auditor for this long can be a sign that a company is planning to seek bankruptcy protection.

GWG Holdings sold $1.6B in life settlement-backed bonds through many independent broker-dealers. In February 2022, it defaulted on $13.6M in principal payments plus interest that it owed investors of its L Bond series.

GWG Holdings Shares Plunge

After The Wall Street Journal reported that GWG Holdings was getting ready to file for bankruptcy, trading in GWG shares on April 4, 2022, had dropped over 16% to $4.48/share. (Trading also was suspended and resumed a number of times.) On April 11, 2022, GWG shares were trading at $1.73/share.  

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Would Be Bad News for L Bond investors

L Bond investors are likely to suffer huge losses in the wake of a GWG Holdings bankruptcy filing. Many of them are retirees, older investors, conservative investors, and other retail investors whose financial advisors should never have marketed and sold them these illiquid, risky high-yield bonds. Many L bond investors placed their life savings in these bonds.
