Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following discussion of “Risk Factors” identifies factors that we believe could adversely affect our business, operations, financial condition or future performance and trading in our securities. This information should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes. The following discussion of risks is not all-inclusive but is designed to highlight what we believe are the material factors to consider when evaluating our business and expectations. References to past events and risks are provided as examples only and are not intended to be a complete listing or representation as to whether any such risk factor presented has occurred in the past or the likelihood of it occurring in the future. These factors could cause our future results to differ materially from our historical results and from expectations reflected in forward-looking statements.

Risk Factors Summary

Risks Related to our Business

•The Company’s valuation of life insurance policies is uncertain as many life insurance policies’ values are tied to their actual maturity date and any erroneous valuations could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

•The Company could fail to accurately forecast life expectancies. There may also be changes to life expectancies generally, or from improvements in health care treatments, resulting from people living longer in the future, which could result in a lower return on the Company’s life settlement policies.

•The Company’s policy acquisitions are limited by the market availability of life insurance policies that meet the Company’s eligibility criteria and purchase parameters, and failure to secure a sufficient number of quality life insurance policies could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

•The Company may experience increased competition from originating life insurance companies, life insurance brokers, and investment funds which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

•Historically, there has been a negative public perception of the life settlement industry that could affect the value and/or liquidity of the Company’s investments and the life settlement industry faces political opposition from life insurance companies.

•The Company, or third parties on which it relies, could fail to accurately evaluate, acquire, maintain, track, or collect on life settlement policies, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s revenues.

•There is a risk of fraud in the origination of the original life insurance policy or in subsequent sales of the life insurance policy that could adversely affect the Company’s investment returns which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

•The Company may become subject to claims by life insurance companies, individuals and their families, or regulatory authorities which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

•The Company faces privacy and cyber security risks related to its maintenance of proprietary information, including information regarding life settlement policies and the related insureds, and any adverse impact related to such risks could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

•The failure of the Company to accurately and timely track and pay premium payments on the life insurance policies it holds could result in the lapse of such policies which would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

•The life insurance company that has issued a life insurance policy we own may increase the cost of insurance premiums, which would adversely affect the Company’s investment returns.

•The Company may not be able to liquidate its life insurance policies, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

•The Company bears the credit risk associated with life insurance companies and may not be able to realize the full value of insurance company payouts on life insurance policies we own when they mature, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s profits.

•The Company’s success depends on the services of its experienced management and talented employees. If the Company is unable to retain management and/or key employees, its ability to compete could be harmed.

•The Company’s intellectual property rights may not adequately protect the Company’s business.

•Outstanding and future indebtedness could adversely affect the Company’s financial and operational flexibility.

•Failure to maintain adequate financial, information technology and management processes and controls could result in material weaknesses and lead to errors in our financial reporting, which could adversely affect our business as a public company.

•The Company’s ability to timely raise capital in the future may be limited, or may be unavailable on acceptable terms, if at all. A failure to raise capital when needed could harm the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. Debt issued to raise additional capital may reduce the cash flow available to make required payments with respect to the notes and affect our ability to execute our investment strategy or impact the value of the Company’s investments.

•The Company’s use of different estimates and assumptions in the application of its accounting policies could result in material changes to its reported financial condition and results of operations, and changes in accounting standards or their interpretation could significantly impact its reported results of operations.

•The Company’s international operations pose additional risks that may adversely impact our financial results and operations.

•Because a portion of the Company’s business is conducted in currency other than U.S. dollar, the Company has foreign currency risk.

•Litigation and other claims and liabilities have arisen and may arise with respect to the acquisitions that we consummate or the businesses acquired, including our recently completed acquisitions, and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

•Events and circumstances outside of the Company’s control may disrupt the ability of the Company and its providers to originate life settlement policies, or to generate such policies on acceptable terms, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position.

Risks Related to the Regulatory and Legal Environment

•Life settlements in which we invest are not currently regulated under the federal securities laws, but if deemed to be securities would require further compliance with federal and state securities laws,

which could result in significant additional regulatory burdens on the Company, and limit the Company’s investments, which would materially impact the Company’s ability to conduct its business.

•The Company may be subject to certain U.S. state securities laws, and failure to comply with applicable requirements may result in fines, sanctions and rescission of purchase or sale transactions.

•The Company could in the future be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act or could have to substantively change its business model to fit within an applicable exemption from such registration requirement.

•The Company is subject to U.S. privacy laws and regulations. Failure to comply with such obligations could lead to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; and other adverse business consequences.

•There have been lawsuits in various states questioning whether a purchaser of a life insurance policy has the requisite “insurable interest” in the policy which would permit the purchaser to collect the insurance benefits and an adverse finding in any of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

•Changes in tax laws or regulations or their interpretation could negatively impact our cash flows and results of operations.

•The Company’s business may be subject to additional or different government regulation in the future, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

•Our stock repurchase program may not enhance long-term stockholder value and could increase the volatility of the market price of our common stock and diminish our cash.

•Our Board has broad discretion to issue additional securities, and to raise sufficient funds to expand our operations, we may have to issue securities at prices which may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders.

•If we issue additional debt securities, our operations may be restricted, we will be exposed to additional risk and the market price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected.

•If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Common Stock or if our operating results do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.

•The trading price of our Common Stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control.

•Investing in our Common Stock may involve a significant degree of risk.

Risks Related to our Business

The Company’s valuation of life insurance policies is uncertain as many life insurance policies’ values are tied to their actual maturity date and any erroneous valuations could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

The valuation of life insurance policies involves inherent uncertainty (including, without limitation, the life expectancies of insureds and future increases in premium costs to keep the policies in force). The Company utilizes a multitude of inputs to determine the fair value of the policies it holds. The Company uses its own underwriting practices, origination protocols, and proprietary technology. There is no guarantee that the value determined with respect to a particular life settlement policy by the Company will represent the value that will

Table of Contents

be realized by the Company on the eventual disposition of the related investment or that would, in fact, be realized upon an immediate disposition of the investment. In addition, there can be no guarantee that such valuation accurately reflects the current present value of such life insurance policy at its actual maturity. Uncertainties as to the valuation of life insurance policies held by the Company could require adjustments to reported net asset values and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business. Uncertainties as to the valuation may also result in the Company being less competitive in the market for originating new life settlement policies and could adversely affect the profits the Company realizes on life settlements purchased and sold.

The Company could fail to accurately forecast life expectancies. There may also be changes to life expectancies generally, or from improvements in health care treatments, resulting from people living longer in the future, which could result in a lower return on the Company’s life settlement policies.

Prices for life insurance policies and annuities that may be obtained by the Company depend, in large measure, upon the life expectancy of the underlying insureds. To date the Company has not acquired annuities. The Company will disclose material annuity balances and activities in the consolidated financial statements. The investment returns on the policies held by the Company’s portfolio depends almost entirely on the accuracy of the Company’s expectation for that insured’s mortality when the Company purchases a life insurance policy, as well as during the period that the Company owns a life insurance policy. Life expectancies are estimates of the expected longevity or mortality of an insured. In determining the life expectancy of an insured, the Company relies on medical underwriting conducted by various medical underwriting firms. The medical underwriting process underlying life expectancy estimates is highly subjective, and mortality and longevity estimates are inherently uncertain. In addition, there can be no assurance that the applicable medical underwriting firm received accurate or complete information regarding the health of an insured under a life insurance policy, or that such insured’s health has not changed since the information was received. Different medical underwriting firms use different methods and may arrive at materially different mortality estimates for the same individual based on the same information, thus causing a life insurance policy’s value to vary. Moreover, as methods of calculating mortality estimates change over time, a mortality estimate prepared by any medical underwriting firm in connection with the acquisition of a life insurance policy may be different from a mortality estimate prepared by the same person at a later time. The valuation of the life insurance policies will vary depending on the dates of the related mortality estimates and the medical underwriting firms that provide the supporting information.

Other factors, including, but not limited to, better access to health care, better adherence to medical treatment plans, improved health care treatments and access to health care, improved nutritional habits, improved lifestyle, an improved economic environment and a higher standard of living could also lead to increases in the longevity of the insureds under the life insurance policies. In addition to other factors affecting the accuracy of life expectancy estimates, improvements in medicine, disease treatment, pharmaceuticals and other medical and health services may enable insureds to live longer.

The actual longevity of an insured may be materially different than the predicted mortality estimate. If the actual maturity date of life insurance policies are longer than projected, it would delay when the Company could expect to receive a return on its investment and the Company may be unable to meet its investment objectives and goals.

The medical underwriting and other firms that provide information for the Company’s forecasts of life expectancies are generally not regulated by the U.S. federal or state governments, with the exception of the states of Florida and Texas, which require life expectancy providers to register with their respective insurance regulatory authority. There can be no assurance that this business will not become more broadly regulated and, if so, that any such regulation would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to establish appropriate life expectancies in connection with the purchase or sale of policies.

The Company’s policy acquisitions are limited by the market availability of life insurance policies that meet the Company’s eligibility criteria and purchase parameters, and failure to secure a sufficient number of quality life insurance policies could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The life insurance policy secondary market has grown substantially in the past several years; however, its future development is uncertain. There are a limited number of life insurance policies available in the market from time to time. As more investment funds flow into the life settlement market for acquiring life insurance policies, margins may be squeezed and the value of the life settlement assets may become comparatively more expensive to purchase or subject to greater competition on the purchase side. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to source life insurance policies directly from insureds in the secondary market or that tertiary market life insurance policies will be available to the Company on satisfactory or competitive terms that would be acceptable to it.

The supply of life insurance policies available in the life settlement market may be reduced by, among other things: (i) improvement in the economy, resulting in higher investment returns to insureds and other owners of life insurance policies from their investment portfolios; (ii) improvements in health insurance coverage, limiting the need of insureds to obtain funds to pay the cost of their medical treatment by selling their life insurance policies; (iii) the entry into the market of less reputable third-party brokers who submit inaccurate or false life insurance policy information to the Company; (iv) the establishment of new licensing requirements for market participants and a delay in complying or an inability to comply with such new requirements; or (v) refusal of the carrier that issued a life insurance policy to consent to its transfer. A change in the availability of life insurance policies in the life settlement market could adversely affect the Company’s ability to execute its strategy and meet its objectives.

The Company may experience increased competition from originating life insurance companies, life insurance brokers, and investment funds which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

Some life insurance companies have begun offering to repurchase their own in-force life insurance policies from their policyholders by offering “enhanced cash surrender value payments” above the amount of the net cash surrender value provided under the life insurance contracts’ terms and thus compete directly with the Company and other life settlement providers. The life settlements industry has challenged the legal validity of the life insurance companies’ actions, and some state insurance regulators have declared that these repurchase offers are unlawful while other state insurance regulators have approved them. To the extent that life insurance companies can seek to repurchase their own in-force life insurance policies, they present competition to the Company in acquiring policies.

In addition, the Company is subject to significant competition from other life settlement providers and investment funds for the purchase of life settlement policies. Increased competition for life settlement policies may result in the Company being unable to access the number and quality of life settlement policies that it desires for its business at prices that it deems acceptable.

Historically, there has been a negative public perception of the life settlement industry that could affect the value and/or liquidity of the Company’s investments and the life settlement industry faces political opposition from life insurance companies.

Many regulators, lawmakers and other governmental authorities, as well as many life insurance companies and life insurance industry organizations, are hostile to, or otherwise concerned about, certain aspects of the longevity-contingent asset markets that underlie the life settlement industry. The life settlement industry and some of its participants have been, and may continue to be, portrayed negatively in a number of widely read publications and other forms of media. These opponents regularly contend that life settlement transactions are contrary to public policy by promoting financial speculation on human life and often involve elements of fraud and other wrongdoing. Past efforts, including activities of life insurance carrier trade associations, have sought to ban life settlement securitization. While such efforts have historically been unsuccessful, any such future efforts could have the effect of severely limiting or potentially prohibiting the continued operation of

Table of Contents

the Company’s life settlement purchasing operations. Continued public opposition to the life settlement industry, as well as actual or alleged wrongdoing by participants in the industry, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its investors, including on the value and/or liquidity of the Company’s investments, or in shaping public opinion about the life settlement industry.

The Company, or third parties on which it relies, could fail to accurately evaluate, acquire, maintain, track, or collect on life settlement policies, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s revenues.

The Company utilizes certain third party data for tracking and servicing its life settlement policies. This includes the origination and servicing of life settlement policies by the servicing and tracking agent, market counterparties and other service providers, and the Company may not be in a position to verify the risks or reliability of such third-party data and systems. Failures in the systems employed by the Company and other service providers, counterparties, and other parties could result in mistakes made in the evaluation, acquisition, maintenance, tracking and collection of life settlement policies and other longevity-linked investments. This could result in the Company overpaying for life settlement policies it acquires or underpricing life settlement policies it sells. In addition, disruptions in the Company’s operations as a result of a failure in a third party system may cause the Company to suffer, among other things, financial loss, the disruption of its business, liability to third-parties, regulatory intervention or reputational damage. Any of the foregoing failures or disruptions could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

There is a risk of fraud in the origination of the original life insurance policy or in subsequent sales of the life insurance policy that could adversely affect the Company’s investment returns which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

The Company faces the risk that an original owner of a life insurance policy, the related insured, the insurance agent involved in the issuance of such life insurance policy, or other party may have committed fraud, or misstated or failed to provide material information in connection with the origination or subsequent sale of that life insurance policy. While present law provides that most life insurance policies may not be challenged for fraud after the end of the two-year contestability period, there may be situations where such fraud in connection with the issuance of a life insurance policy may survive its contestability period. If an issuing insurance company successfully challenges a life insurance policy acquired by the Company on the grounds of fraud, the Company may lose its entire investment in that life insurance policy. Furthermore, if the age of an insured was misstated, the Company may receive lower death benefits than expected. In addition, there may be information directly relevant to the value of a life insurance policy, including, but not limited to, information relating to the insured’s medical condition, to which the Company will not have access. It is not possible to verify the accuracy or completeness of each piece of information or the completeness of the overall information supplied at the origination of an insurance policy. Any such misstatement or omission could cause the Company to rely on assumptions which turn out to be inaccurate. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the seller of a life insurance policy in the tertiary market properly acquired that policy from the former owner, or that a former beneficiary or other interested party will not attempt to challenge the validity of the transfer. The occurrence of any one or more of these factors could adversely affect the Company’s performance and investment returns.

The Company may become subject to claims by life insurance companies, individuals and their families, or regulatory authorities which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

The secondary market for life insurance policies has been subjected to allegations of fraud and misconduct as reflected in certain litigated cases. Some of these cases, some of which have been brought by regulatory authorities, involve allegations of fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, bid rigging, non-disclosure of material facts and associated misconduct in life settlement transactions. Cases have also been brought by the life insurance companies that challenge the legality of the original issuance of the life insurance policies based on lack of insurable interest, fraud and misrepresentation.

Further, both U.S. federal and state statutes safeguard an insured’s personal health information. In addition, insureds frequently have an expectation of confidentiality even if they are not legally entitled to it. Even if the Company properly obtains and uses otherwise personal health information, but fails to maintain the confidentiality of such information, the Company may be the subject of complaints from the affected individuals, their families and relatives and, potentially, interested regulatory authorities. It is also possible that, due to a misunderstanding regarding the scope of consents that a transaction party possesses, the Company may request and receive from health care providers, information that it in fact did not have a right to request or receive. If the Company finds itself to be the recipient of complaints for these acts, it is not possible to predict what the results will be. This uncertainty also increases the likelihood that a transaction party may sell, or cause to be sold, life insurance policies in violation of applicable law, which could potentially result in additional costs related to defending claims or enduring regulatory inquiries, rescinding such transactions, possible legal damages and penalties and probable reduced market value of the affected life insurance policies. Each of the foregoing factors may delay or reduce the return on the policies and adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations.

The Company faces privacy and cyber security risks related to its maintenance of proprietary information, including information regarding life settlement policies and the related insureds, and any adverse impact related to such risks could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

The Company relies on data processing systems, including data processing systems of third parties, to price and close transactions, to evaluate investments, to monitor its portfolio and capital, and to generate risk management and other reports that are critical to oversight of the Company’s activities. Further, the Company relies on information systems to store sensitive information about the Company, its affiliates, and its investments, including life settlement policies and information about the related insured individuals and others. While the Company is not aware of any material security breaches or proceedings related to the processing of the Company’s information or those third-party systems utilized by it, the loss or misappropriation of information, improper access or an ability to access information or systems, or the use or disclosure of the Company’s proprietary information could adversely impact the Company. For example, the Company could suffer, among other things, financial loss, the disruption of its business, liability to third parties, regulatory intervention or reputational damage. Any of the foregoing events could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Additionally, the Company collects information related to life insurance, including nonpublic personal information (“NPI”) and protected health information (“PHI”), and information from its website, such as contact information and high-level policy information. The Company also collects information from its employees, such as standard HR information, and business contact information from third party employees. The Company shares information with its service providers and has entered into non-disclosure and business association agreements, where appropriate. Although the Company has, and believes that each service provider has, procedures and systems in place that it believes are reasonably designed to protect such information and prevent data loss and security breaches, such measures cannot guarantee absolute security.

Furthermore, the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to data, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently, demonstrate increasing sophistication and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time. For example, hardware or software acquired from third parties may contain defects in design or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. Network connected services provided by third parties to the Company may be susceptible to compromise, leading to a breach of the Company’s network and/or business interruptions. The Company’s systems or facilities may be susceptible to employee error or malfeasance, surveillance by hostile threat actors, or other security threats.

The failure of the Company to accurately and timely track and pay premium payments on the life insurance policies it holds could result in the lapse of such policies which would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

Table of Contents

To realize gains on its investment in life insurance policies, the Company must ensure that the life insurance policies it acquires remain in force until they mature or are sold by the Company. Failure by the Company to pay premiums on the life insurance policies when due will result in termination or “lapse” of the life insurance policies and will result in the loss of the Company’s investment in such life insurance policies.

The life insurance company that has issued a life insurance policy we own may increase the cost of insurance premiums, which would adversely affect the Company’s investment returns.

If a life insurance company increases the cost of insurance charged for any of the life insurance policies held by the Company, the amounts required to be paid for insurance premiums due for these life insurance policies may increase, requiring the Company to incur additional costs for the life insurance policies which may reduce the value of such life insurance policies and consequently affect the investment returns available on such policies.

Some life insurance companies have in the past materially increased the cost of insurance charges. There can be no assurance that life insurance policies acquired by the Company will not be subject to cost of insurance increases. If any such life insurance policies are affected by a cost of insurance increase, the policy value may be materially reduced and the Company may decide or may be forced to allow such life insurance policy to lapse, resulting in a loss to the Company.

In the event a life insurance company experiences significantly higher than anticipated expenses associated with operation and/or policy administration, or, in some instances, lower investment returns, the insurance company may have the right to increase the charges to each of its policy owners, but not beyond guaranteed maximums. While the insurance companies historically have not specified the reasons for premium increases, it is generally believed that low interest rate environments were a significant contributing factor in the decision to increase the cost of insurance.

The Company may not be able to liquidate its life insurance policies, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company engages in the purchase and sale of life insurance policies. The liquidation value of these life insurance policies is important where, for example, it becomes necessary to sell life insurance policies from the Company’s hold portfolio in order to meet the Company’s cash flow needs, including the payment of future premiums.

In many cases liquidation may not be a viable option to meet the Company’s liquidity needs because of, among other things: (i) the lack of an available market for such life insurance policies at the time; (ii) the uncertainties surrounding the liquidation value of an individual life insurance policy; (iii) the extensive amount of time and effort it might take to sell a life insurance policy; (iv) the effect excessive sales of life insurance policies may have on transactions and future cash flows; and (v) the tax consequences.

The Company bears the credit risk associated with life insurance companies and may not be able to realize the full value of insurance company payouts on life insurance policies we own when they mature, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s profits.

The Company will assume the credit risk associated with life insurance policies issued by various life insurance companies. The failure or bankruptcy of any such life insurance company could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to achieve its investment objectives. A life insurance company’s business tends to track general economic and market conditions that are beyond its control, including economic recessions, interest rate changes, inflation, pandemics or public health emergencies, political instability and hostility, macroeconomic trends, or changes in investor perceptions regarding the strength of insurers generally and the life insurance policies or annuities they offer. Adverse economic factors and volatility in the financial markets may have a material adverse effect on a life insurance company’s business obligation to pay the face value of policies.

Table of Contents

The insolvency of any insurance company or a downgrade in the ratings of an insurance company could have a material adverse impact on the value of the life insurance policies issued by any such insurer, the collectability of the related face value, cash surrender value or other amounts agreed to be paid by such insurance company. In the event that a life insurance carrier becomes insolvent or is placed into receivership, most state guaranty associations place a $300,000 or lower cap on face value for policies per insured. In addition to the limitations on the amount of coverage, which vary by state, there are limitations on who may make claims under such coverage and the Company may not be eligible to make claims under U.S. state guarantee funds as most U.S. state guarantee fund laws were enacted with the stated goal of assisting policyholders residing in such states. Even if available to the Company, guarantee fund coverage limits are typically smaller than the face values of some of the life insurance policies that the Company will acquire. There can be no assurance that as more life settlement transactions are undertaken, legislators will not adopt additional restrictions on the availability of U.S. state guaranty funds.

The Company’s success depends on the services of its experienced management and talented employees. If the Company is unable to retain management and/or key employees, its ability to compete could be harmed.

The success of the Company depends on the talents and efforts of the highly skilled individuals employed by the Company and the Company’s ability to identify and willingness to provide acceptable compensation to attract, retain and motivate experienced management, talented investment professionals and other employees.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s management and professionals will continue to be associated with the Company, and the failure to attract or retain such professionals could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to execute on its business plan. Competition in the financial services industry for qualified management and employees is intense and there is no guarantee that, if lost, the talents of the Company’s professionals could be replaced.

The Company’s intellectual property rights may not adequately protect the Company’s business.

To be successful, the Company must protect its technology, know-how and brand through means, such as trademarks, trade secrets, patents, copyrights, service marks, contractual restrictions, and other intellectual property rights and confidentiality procedures in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Despite the Company’s efforts to implement these protections, it may be unable to adequately protect its business for a variety of reasons, including:

•an inability to successfully register or obtain patents and other intellectual property rights for important innovations that sufficiently protect the full scope of such innovations;

•an inability to maintain appropriate confidentiality and other protective measures to establish and maintain the Company’s trade secrets;

•uncertainty in, and evolution of, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights;

•potential invalidation of the Company’s intellectual property rights through administrative processes or litigation; and

•other practical, resource, or business limitations on the Company’s ability to detect and prevent infringement or misappropriation of our rights and to enforce our rights.

Litigation may be necessary to enforce the Company’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, protect the Company’s trade secrets, or determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights claimed by others. Any litigation, whether or not resolved in the Company’s favor, could result in significant expense to the Company, and divert the time and efforts of the Company’s technical and management personnel. If the Company is unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon, violating or misappropriating the Company’s intellectual

Table of Contents

property or is required to incur substantial expenses defending the Company’s intellectual property rights, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Outstanding and future indebtedness could adversely affect the Company’s financial and operational flexibility.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had indebtedness outstanding of approximately $406 million, including $149 million of borrowings under its Senior Secured Credit Facility, and including approximately $115 million of indebtedness of consolidated variable interest entities. The Company expects to incur additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the indenture under which the Notes are issued do not prohibit the Company or its subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness. The Company’s debt service obligations will require it to use a portion of its cash flow to pay interest and principal on debt instead of for other corporate purposes, including funding future expansion. If the Company’s cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to service debt obligations, it may be forced to seek extraordinary dividends from its subsidiaries, sell assets, seek additional equity or debt capital or restructure its debt. However, these measures might be unsuccessful or inadequate in permitting the Company to meet scheduled debt service obligations.

The Credit Agreement subjects the Company to restrictive covenants that could affect its financial and operational flexibility. Any breach or failure to comply with any of these covenants could result in a default under the credit agreement. In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facility matures in 2030. The Company may not be able to refinance this debt on favorable terms or at all at maturity.

Failure to maintain adequate financial, information technology and management processes and controls could result in material weaknesses and lead to errors in our financial reporting, which could adversely affect our business as a public company.

As a public company, we are required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal controls. Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley requires that the Company evaluate and determine the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for the Company to produce reliable financial reports and is important in helping to prevent financial fraud.

The Company’s current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of poor design and changes in its business, including increased complexity resulting from any expansion. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect the results of assessments by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and their attestation reports.

If the Company is unable to certify the effectiveness of its internal controls, or if its internal controls have a material weakness, the Company may not detect errors in a timely fashion, its consolidated financial statements could be misstated, it could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of confidence by stakeholders, which could harm its business and adversely affect the market price of its common stock. Failure to comply with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley could potentially subject the Company to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, FINRA or other regulatory authorities, as well as increase the risk of liability arising from litigation based on securities law.

The Company’s ability to timely raise capital in the future may be limited, or may be unavailable on acceptable terms, if at all. A failure to raise capital when needed could harm the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. Debt issued to raise additional capital may reduce the cash flow available to make required payments with respect to the notes and affect our ability to execute our investment strategy or impact the value of the Company’s investments.

The Company has funded its operations since inception primarily through its origination, active management and holding of life settlement policies. The Company cannot be certain when or if its operations will generate sufficient cash to fund our ongoing operations or the growth of our business.

Table of Contents

The Company intends to continue to make investments to support its business and may require additional funds. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may be unable to invest in future growth opportunities, which could harm its business, operating results and financial condition. If the Company incurs debt, the debt holders could have rights senior to holders of the notes to make claims on the Company’s assets.

The Company’s use of different estimates and assumptions in the application of its accounting policies could result in material changes to its reported financial condition and results of operations, and changes in accounting standards or their interpretation could significantly impact its reported results of operations.

Accounting policies are critical to the way the Company presents its results of operations and financial condition. Many of these policies, including policies relating to the recognition of revenue, are highly complex and involve many assumptions, estimates and judgments. The Company is required to review these assumptions, estimates and judgments regularly and revise them when necessary. The Company’s actual results of operations vary from period to period based on revisions to these estimates. See the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of Part II, Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further information. In addition, the regulatory bodies that establish accounting and reporting standards, including the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board, periodically revise or issue new financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Changes to these standards or their interpretation could significantly impact our reported results in future periods.

The Company’s international operations pose additional risks that may adversely impact our financial results and operations.

The Company derives a portion of its revenues from sources located outside of the U.S. and is subject to a number of risks due to our international operations, including:

•difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

•coordinating our information and data processing systems, communications, policies and logistics across geographic distances, multiple time zones and in different languages;

•changes in tax regulations or practice, and rates in both U.S. and foreign countries;

•lost business or financial harm due to protectionism in the United States and in countries around the world, including adverse trade policies, price controls or economic sanctions,

•government actions affecting the flow of goods, services and currency,

•governmental restrictions on the transfer of funds to us and from our operations outside the United States;

•changes in the geopolitical environment, wars, conflicts, or trade barriers or blockades in Luxembourg and/or in the EU, which may adversely affect business activity and economic conditions globally and could contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets, as well as disrupt the free movement of goods, services, and people between countries;

•cash balances held in foreign banks and institutions where governments have not specifically enacted formal guarantee programs;

•differences in the availability and terms of financing;

•Luxembourg and EU regulatory reforms exposing the Company to increasing regulatory scrutiny as well as regulatory uncertainty; and

Table of Contents

•epidemics or pandemics on a regional or global level.

The Company must comply with differing labor practices and foreign laws, including data privacy requirements, licensing regulations, anti-money laundering, counter terrorist-financing, and anti-corruption rules and laws and regulations applicable to U.S. business operations abroad, any or all of which will impose administrative burdens on the Company. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines and penalties, criminal sanctions, tariffs or duties, restrictions on our business conduct and on the Company’s ability to offer its services in one or more countries, and could also materially adversely affect its reputation, ability to attract and retain employees, international operations, and its business and operating results.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) is a comprehensive regulation applying across all EU member states. All the Company’s business units (regardless of whether they are located in the EU) may be subject to the GDPR when personal data is processed in relation to the offer of goods and services to individuals within the EU. The GDPR is complex and compliance may be costly. Any failure to comply with GDPR and other countries’ privacy or data security-related laws, rules or regulations could result in significant penalties imposed by regulators which could have an adverse effect on its business financial condition and results of operations.

Carlisle is regulated by the Luxembourg supervisory authority (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier or “CSSF”) and is subject to the Luxembourg’s and the European Union’s Alternative Investment Fund Managers (“AIFM”) Directive which regulates investment advisors domiciled in Luxembourg and in the European Union and investment advisors that manage investment funds domiciled or marketed in Luxembourg and in the European Union. The AIFM Directive imposes certain requirements and restrictions on such investment advisors, which differ based on the domicile of the applicable investment advisor and investment fund and the circumstances under which an investment fund is marketed in Luxembourg and in the European Union. Such requirements and restrictions may include disclosure and transparency obligations, capital adequacy, valuation and depositary requirements, leverage and investment restrictions, other conduct of business requirements and tax requirements. As a result of the AIFM Directive, an investment advisor may be restricted from marketing investment funds in Luxembourg and in the European Union, may incur potentially significant increased operating costs, may be unable to engage in certain activities that it otherwise would have and/or may be subject to other adverse consequences. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect the performance of the Company.

Because a portion of the Company’s business is conducted in currency other than U.S. dollar, the Company has foreign currency risk.

Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates between the Euro, the functional currency of our Carlisle subsidiary, and the U.S. dollar. The exchange rates between the Euro against the U.S. dollar have fluctuated significantly in recent years and may fluctuate significantly in the future. In the future we may hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposure with the purchase of forward exchange contracts or through other hedging techniques. Hedge contracts only mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates that occur during the term of the related contract period and carry risks of counterparty failure. There can be no assurance that we will enter such hedges or that our hedges will have their intended effects.

Litigation and other claims and liabilities have arisen and may arise with respect to the acquisitions that we consummate or the businesses acquired, including our recently completed acquisitions, and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

We may face litigation or other claims because of the terms and conditions of our acquisition agreements, stock purchase agreements, tender offers and other agreements to purchase equity interests in target companies, such as earnout payments or closing net asset adjustments. Shareholder litigation may arise because of proposed acquisitions. Acquired businesses may have liabilities, pre-existing compliance issues or deficiencies, or be subject to claims, litigation, or investigations that we did not anticipate or which exceed our estimates at the time of the acquisition. These liabilities and claims will increase expenses, may cause a delay

Table of Contents

in completing an acquisition, and may disrupt our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Businesses we have recently acquired, including Carlisle, have included litigation and claims by investors such as those relating to asset valuations, distributions and other matters. Such litigation and claims and any similar future claims may result in a loss of investors, reduced management fees, increased costs, damage to our reputation, and diversion of management’s time, and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Events and circumstances outside of the Company’s control may disrupt the ability of the Company and its providers to originate life settlement policies, or to generate such policies on acceptable terms, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position.

Events outside the Company’s control, particular events of national or international concern that effect national and international macroeconomic trends can have, and in the past have had, negative impacts on our business and results of operations. Over the past few years, global markets have seen extensive volatility owing to a variety of factors, including high inflation, trade policies and tariffs, volatility in the capital markets, the failure of financial institutions, volatility in the housing market, interest and currency rate fluctuations, labor availability, supply chain disruptions, global pandemics and public health crises and the responses thereto, weather catastrophes and geopolitical instability, including shutdowns and threats of shutdowns of the U.S. federal government, growing geopolitical tensions and conflicts, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the recent launch of the U.S. campaign against Iran, and acts of terrorism. These events have created, and may continue to create, significant disruption of the global economy and financial and labor markets. These events can disrupt or restrict the Company’s ability to source life settlement policies, or to source such settlements on financial terms that are acceptable to the Company. Such events can also disrupt the operations or activities of our third-party service providers. Adverse changes in the perceived or actual economic climate may shift the timing and volume of transactions, or the number of customers using our services.

Risks related to the Regulatory and Legal Environment

Life settlements in which we invest are not currently regulated under the federal securities laws, but if deemed to be securities would require further compliance with federal and state securities laws, which could result in significant additional regulatory burdens on the Company, and limit the Company’s investments, which would materially impact the Company’s ability to conduct its business.

The origination and trading in whole, non-variable life insurance policies has historically been understood to not involve transactions in securities. However, on February 22, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in a case captioned In the Matter of Living Benefits Asset Management, LLC, vs. Kestrel Aircraft Company, Incorporated, concluded that whole, non-variable life insurance policies, when offered for sale to an investor, were securities for purposes of the Investment Company Act. If this same conclusion were to be reached in other circuits or at the Supreme Court and extended to the Securities Act, there would be significant changes to our industry and it would materially impact the Company’s ability to conduct its business.

In 2002, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals reached a similar conclusion with respect to fractionalized death benefits payable under non-variable policies in SEC v. Mutual Benefits Corp., but the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals reached a contrary result with respect to fractionalized death benefits in SEC v. Life Partners which was decided in 1996. The Company does not presently transact in fractionalized death benefits, i.e., buying or selling a part of, but not all of, a life settlement policy, nor does it currently plan to transact in fractionalized death benefits.

On July 22, 2010, the SEC released a staff report that recommended that Congress clearly define life settlements to be securities, so that the investors in life settlements transactions would be protected under the U.S. federal securities laws. To date, the SEC has not made another such recommendation to Congress nor

Table of Contents

has Congress acted on the SEC staff’s report. If the statutory definitions of “security” were to be amended to encompass life settlements involving non-variable life insurance policies, or if the Supreme Court or other Circuit Courts were to conclude that non-variable life insurance policies are securities for purposes of the Securities Act, the Company could become subject to additional extensive regulatory requirements under the federal securities laws. Those regulatory requirements would include the obligation to register the Company’s sales and offerings of life settlements with the SEC as public offerings under the Securities Act. Also, if the resale of non-variable life insurance policies were to be considered securities, the Company’s ownership of those policies as a percentage of its assets or source of income could be limited as it would likely manage its business to avoid being required to register as an “investment company” pursuant to the Investment Company Act. Those limitations could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations. Any legislation or court or regulatory interpretations leading to that regulatory change or a change in the transactions that are characterized as life settlement transactions could lead to significantly increased compliance costs and increased liability risk to the Company and could adversely affect the Company’s ability to acquire or sell life insurance policies in the future. This could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Company.

The Company cannot assure you as to the ultimate content, timing, or effect of changes, nor is it possible at this time to estimate the impact of any such potential change in administration or new legislation on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations and consequently, any potential material and adverse effect on the performance of the Company.

The Company may be subject to certain U.S. state securities laws, and failure to comply with applicable requirements may result in fines, sanctions and rescission of purchase or sale transactions.

Certain U.S. state laws specifically characterize life settlements as securities transactions. Thus, in some U.S. states, purchases and sales of life insurance policies by the Company may be subject to applicable U.S. state blue sky laws or other U.S. state securities laws. The Company intends to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. However, this will not necessarily exempt the Company from compliance with U.S. federal or state broker-dealer laws. The failure to comply with applicable securities laws in connection with the purchase or sale of life settlement policies could result in the Company being subject to fines, administrative and civil sanctions and rescission of life settlement policy purchase or sales transactions. Each of the foregoing factors could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Company.

The Company could in the future be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act or could have to substantively change its business model to fit within an applicable exemption from such registration requirement.

The Company’s sales of life insurance policies and investment and financing programs of which the purchase or sale of a life insurance policy is a part are subject to an evolving regulatory landscape. Depending on the facts and circumstances attending such sales or programs, U.S. state and federal securities laws, including the Investment Company Act could be implicated, and it is possible that the Company could in the future be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company would not be able to continue to operate its business as it does today if required to register as an investment company. In such event, the Company would have to substantively change its business model to avoid registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If the Company were required to change its business model to fit within an exemption from registration, it would have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Company.

The Company is subject to U.S. privacy laws and regulations. Failure to comply with such obligations could lead to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; and other adverse business consequences.

Due to the type of information the Company collects, including personal, medical, and financial information on the underlying insureds and policyholders, and the nature of its services, the Company is subject to privacy

Table of Contents

laws. In the United States, federal, state and local governments have enacted numerous data privacy and security laws to address privacy, data protection and collection, and the processing and disclosure of certain types of information. Obligations related to these laws are quickly changing, becoming increasingly stringent and creating regulatory uncertainty. In addition, these obligations may be subject to differing applications and interpretations, which can result in inconsistency or conflict among jurisdictions. Among these laws, the Company is likely subject to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (“GLBA”), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”).

The Company may be considered a financial institution under the GLBA and is subject to the GLBA through the NPI it collects. The GLBA regulates, among other things, the use of certain information about individuals (NPI) in the context of the provision of financial services. The GLBA includes both a “Privacy Rule,” which imposes obligations on financial institutions relating to the use or disclosure of NPI, and a “Safeguards Rule,” which imposes obligations on financial institutions, and indirectly, their service providers, to implement and maintain physical, administrative and technological measures to protect the security of NPI.

The Company has certain business components that are subject to HIPAA. HIPAA imposes privacy, security and breach notification obligations on “covered entities” and “business associates.” Furthermore, HIPAA requires “covered entities” and “business associates” to develop and maintain policies with respect to the protection of PHI. If in violation of HIPAA, the Company may be subject to significant civil, criminal and administrative fines and penalties and/or additional reporting and oversight obligations. HIPAA also authorizes state Attorneys General to file suits on behalf of their residents. Courts may award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue the Company in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI.

Because of the complexity of the various data privacy laws the Company may be subject to, compliance can be costly. The Company has taken general steps to comply with data privacy and security laws. For example, the Company has implemented a number of policies, including policies regarding access controls, customer data privacy, secure data disposal, and incident response and risk assessments. Despite these efforts, the Company may at times fail in its efforts due to the complexity and evolving nature of these laws. Failure to comply with relevant data privacy laws could negatively impact the Company’s operations, including subject the Company to possible government enforcement actions which could result in investigations, fines, penalties, audits, inspection, litigation, additional reporting requirements and/or oversight.

There have been lawsuits in various states questioning whether a purchaser of a life insurance policy has the requisite “insurable interest” in the policy which would permit the purchaser to collect the insurance benefits and an adverse finding in any of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

All states require that the initial purchaser of a new life insurance policy insuring the life of another individual have an insurable interest in that individual’s life at the time of the original issuance of the policy. An “insurable interest” is an economic stake the continued life of an insured. A life insurance policy may only be initially purchased by a person or entity who has an insurable interest in the insured. For example, if a spouse purchases an insurance policy on his or her spouse or a company purchases a life insurance policy on an employee. In addition, some states may require that the Company have an insurable interest in the insured. Whether an insurable interest exists in the context of the purchase of a life insurance policy is critical because in the absence of a valid insurable interest, life insurance policies are unenforceable under the laws of most states. Where a life insurance policy has been issued to a policy holder without an insurable interest in the life of the insured, the life insurance company may not be required to pay the face value under the policy and may also be entitled to retain the premiums paid. Generally, there are two forms of insurable interest in the life of an individual, familial and financial. Additionally, an individual is deemed to have an insurable interest in his or her own life. Insurable interest is determined at the inception of the policy. Some cases have also been initiated by life insurance companies, challenging the legality of the original issuance of policies on insurable interest grounds and asserting that such policies constitute “Stranger-Originated Life Insurance” or “STOLI,”

Table of Contents

which is defined as a practice or plan to initiate a life insurance policy for a third-party investor who, at the time of policy origination, has no insurable interest in the insured. Some states (such as Utah and New York) permit the heirs and beneficiaries of an insured to recover the face value under such STOLI policies rather than the policy owner which lacked insurable interest.

While the Company does not believe it has invested in any STOLI polices and has policies and procedures in place designed to identify potential STOLI policies, there can be no guarantee that the Company will identify all STOLI policies. As such, the Company may acquire certain life insurance policies that may be deemed by an issuing insurance company to be STOLI policies, if the Company deems such life insurance policy to be an attractive investment even after taking into account the insurable interest risk, or inadvertently, where the true nature of such life insurance policy is not discovered prior to its acquisition by the Company. Should an issuing insurance company successfully challenge the validity of a life insurance policy acquired by the Company, the Company will lose its investment in such life insurance policy. Furthermore, the Company will also suffer losses if a family member of an insured is successful in asserting a claim that he or she, and not the Company, is entitled to the face value payable under a life insurance policy.

Changes in tax laws or regulations or their interpretation could negatively impact our cash flows and results of operations.

Changes in tax and other revenue raising laws, regulations and policies in the jurisdictions where we do business could impose new restrictions, costs or prohibitions on our practices and negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, interpretation of tax regulations requires us to exercise our judgment and taxing authorities or our independent registered public accounting firm may reach conclusions about the application of such regulations that differ from our conclusions. Changes to US tax laws, regulations, or interpretations could impact the tax treatment of our earnings and adversely affect our cash flows and financial results.

We are subject to audit in various jurisdictions, and these jurisdictions may assess additional taxes against us. Developments in an audit, litigation, or laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations could have a material effect on our operating results or cash flows. The outcome of tax audits, investigations, and any related litigation could be materially different from our historical tax provisions and accruals.

The Company’s business may be subject to additional or different government regulation in the future, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

The Company is currently licensed and operating in 49 states. Increased regulation (whether promulgated under insurance laws or any other applicable law) and regulatory oversight of and changes in law applicable to life settlements may restrict the ability of the Company to carry on its business as currently conducted. This could also impose additional administrative burdens on the Company, including responding to examinations and other regulatory inquiries and implementing policies and procedures. Regulatory inquiries are often confidential in nature, may involve a review of an individual’s or a firm’s activities or may involve studies of the industry or industry practices, as well as the practices of a particular institution.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

Our stock repurchase program may not enhance long-term stockholder value and could increase the volatility of the market price of our common stock and diminish our cash.

Our stock repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any shares of our Common Stock. The timing and amount of any repurchases depend upon several factors, including market conditions, business conditions, statutory and contractual restrictions, the trading price of our Common Stock and the nature of other investment opportunities available to us. In addition, repurchases of our Common Stock could affect our stock price and increase its volatility. The existence of a stock repurchase program could cause our stock price to be higher than it would be absent the program and could reduce market liquidity for our stock. Use of our

Table of Contents

funds to repurchase stock could diminish our cash reserves, which may impact our ability to finance growth, pursue strategic opportunities, and discharge liabilities. Our stock repurchases may not enhance stockholder value because the market price of our Common Stock may decline below the prices at which we repurchased stock and short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the program’s effectiveness.

Our Board has broad discretion to issue additional securities, and to raise sufficient funds to expand our operations, we may have to issue securities at prices which may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders.

We are entitled under the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Charter”) to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 (“Preferred Stock”), although these amounts may change in the future subject to stockholder approval. Shares of our Preferred Stock provide our board of directors broad authority to determine voting, dividend, conversion and other rights. Any additional stock issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount or premium to the then-current market price of our Common Stock. In addition, to raise capital, we may need to issue securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for a significant amount of our Common Stock. Our board of directors may generally issue those shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, or convertible securities to purchase those shares, without further approval by our stockholders. Any Preferred Stock we may issue could have such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as may be designated from time to time by our board of directors, including preferential dividend rights, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption rights and liquidation provisions. We may also issue additional securities to our directors, officers, employees and consultants as compensatory grants in connection with their services, both in the form of stand-alone grants or under our stock incentive plans.

If we issue additional debt securities, our operations may be restricted, we will be exposed to additional risk and the market price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected.

If we decide to issue debt securities in the future, it is likely that such securities will be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants that may restrict our operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our Common Stock. Holders of debt securities may also be granted specific rights, including, but not limited to, the right to hold a perfected security interest in certain of our assets, the right to accelerate payments due under the indenture, rights to restrict dividend payments and rights to approve the sale of assets. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and shares of Preferred Stock and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our Common Stock.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Common Stock or if our operating results do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover our Company downgrades our Common Stock or if our operating results do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.

The trading price of our Common Stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control.

The market price of our Common Stock may be volatile because of numerous factors, including:

•our operating and financial performance and prospects;

Table of Contents

•quarterly variations in operating results;

•changes in financial estimates by us or securities analysts who may cover our stock or by our failure to meet the estimates made by securities analysts;

•conditions that impact demand for products and/or services;

•future announcements concerning our business, our clients’ business or our competitors’ businesses; market and industry perception of our success, or lack thereof, in pursuing our growth strategy;

•changes in market valuations of other similar companies;

•changes in laws or regulations applicable to our business;

•additions or departures of key personnel;

•changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of debt, equity and equity-linked securities, including secured lending arrangements and securitizations;

•short sales, hedging and other derivative transactions involving our capital stock;

•our limited public float and the relatively thin trading market for our Common Stock;

•transactions in our Common Stock, by directors, officers, affiliates and other major investors;

•strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;

•changes in laws or regulations which adversely affect our industry or us;

•adverse resolution of new or pending litigation against us; and

•changes in general market, economic and political conditions in the United States and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from inflation, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, acts of war and responses to such events.

Furthermore, from time to time, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies.

These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions or interest rate changes, may negatively impact the market price of our Common Stock. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. Any future securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources, and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Investing in our Common Stock may involve a significant degree of risk.

The investments we make in accordance with our investment objectives, which focus on life insurance policies, may result in a higher amount of risk when compared to alternative investment options and volatility or loss of principal. Our investments may be highly speculative and aggressive, and therefore an investment in our Common Stock may not be suitable for someone with lower risk tolerance and investors in our Common Stock may experience losses and volatility.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Management is responsible for mitigating the Company’s risks, including cybersecurity.The Board of Directors has the oversight responsibility for the Company’s risk management and has delegated its responsibility over cybersecurity to the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee periodically reviews the Company’s cybersecurity policy and programs established by management to mitigate cybersecurity and data risks. The periodic reviews take place on a quarterly basis and include reports from the Company’s cybersecurity team led by the Company’s Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) who has over 10 years of data security experience. The quarterly report provides an overview of cybersecurity threats, key measures in place to mitigate cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities, provides a status of ongoing security projects to strengthen the Company’s cybersecurity posture, as well as plans and resource needs for addressing possible future cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. The Company’s cybersecurity policy is centered on mitigating risks related to cybersecurity, privacy, physical security, and information security risk management.

The Company’s cybersecurity risk management approach is reviewed for alignment with the Company’s overall risk tolerance. The Company has a dedicated cybersecurity team led by the CISO who is responsible for executing the risk strategy and policies developed in coordination with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Presidents, and the Vice Presidents of Finance and Capital Markets. The CISO periodically reports to the Audit Committee concerning its cybersecurity and cybersecurity risk management strategies.

The Company’s cybersecurity policy outlines every level of protection put in place to safeguard sensitive data as well as company technology assets, including threats and vulnerabilities posed from our interactions with suppliers and third-party service providers. These layers of protection include physical, local, and network layers as prescribed by standard information technology guidelines. The cybersecurity policy also contains procedures for responding to incidents that may threaten the security of Company systems and/or network, which include multiple layers of protections using current security measures and applications. The effectiveness of our security policy and procedures are tested frequently with periodic effectiveness reports shared with senior management and the Audit Committee to facilitate their risk oversight responsibilities.

No risks from cybersecurity threats or previous cybersecurity incidents have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures in place to monitor and mitigate the risks of cyber threats, including the remediation of critical information security and software vulnerabilities, will be sufficient and/or timely and that we will not suffer material losses or consequences in the future. Additionally, while we have in place insurance coverage designed to address certain aspects of cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all insured losses or all types of claims that may arise.

Item 2. Properties

Our corporate headquarters is in Orlando, Florida. The office lease for our headquarters consists of approximately 19 thousand square feet of office space expiring in December 2029. We also lease office space in Luxembourg for our Asset Management business consisting of approximately 2 thousand square feet pursuant expiring in July 2033. We believe our facilities are adequate and suitable for our current needs and that, should it be needed, suitable additional or alternative space will be available to accommodate our operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in various civil actions as part of its normal course of business. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, the Company cannot state what the eventual outcome of these matters will be. However, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and

The Company is a vertically integrated alternative asset manager and market maker, specializing in longevity and actuarial technology. The Company operates in three reportable segments: Life Solutions, Asset Management and Technology Services. Refer to “Item 1. Business” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on our business and operations.

Life Solutions

The Company is a leading secondary-market buyer of life insurance policies in the United States and we directly acquire life insurance policies in transactions that mutually benefit both us and the underlying policyholders. We refer to our acquisition of life insurance policies, as our origination process, which is carried out according to our internally developed policies and guidelines. Through this origination process, the Company originate life insurance policy settlement contracts as a licensed life settlement provider on behalf of third-party institutional investors and directly for our balance sheet. We originate policies through three primary origination channels, (i) agents and brokers (ii) directly from life insurance policyholders, and (iii) third-party intermediaries. We generate fees on the policies we originate based on a percentage of the face value or death benefit of the acquired life insurance policies. Within this segment, we also generate revenues from portfolio management and portfolio servicing. The Company then screens these policies for eligibility by verifying that the policy is in force, obtaining consents and disclosures, and submitting cases for life expectancy estimates. This process is characterized as our origination services, which averages a fee of approximately 2% of the life insurance policy’s face value. With meaningful support from our proprietary risk rating heat map, we also continually evaluate policies to generate uncorrelated risk adjusted returns.

Table of Contents

Upon acquiring a policy, we have the option to either (i) trade that policy to a third-party institutional investor or (ii) hold that policy on our balance sheet until maturity. This process is predicated on driving the best economics for the Company. For those policies that we trade, our portfolio management activities generate revenues based on spreads for traded life insurance policies, and for those life insurance policies held to maturity, though the realized returns on such policies. Such activities represent our portfolio management process. Additionally, we generate revenues based on a range of third-party portfolio servicing activities for third-party owners of life settlement assets, which generates revenue based on a percentage of the total asset value serviced.

Asset Management

The Company’s Carlisle and FCF subsidiaries manage alternative investment funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETF”). The alternative investment funds primarily invest in insurance policy settlement contracts that cater to investors seeking risk-adjusted returns with low correlation to other asset classes. The ETFs primarily invest in equity securities using a suite of core and thematic free cash flow equity strategies and offers over 50 customizable free cash flow index strategies covering eight global equities allocation categories available in separately managed accounts. Asset Management fees are based on a percentage of total asset value under management. We also realize performance fees based on a percentage of returns over certain hurdle rates for the managed alternative investment funds.

Technology Services

The Company, through ABL Intel, uses its proprietary technology based on health and longevity data sets to provide services to pension funds, government agencies, insurance-related businesses, as well as other entities that benefit from real-time mortality verification, missing participant verification, and other services specific to the life insurance market. Technology Services fees are based on fixed annual contracts with clients including pension plans, life insurance companies, governmental agencies, and others.

Revenue

Asset Management

Year Ended December 31,

Asset management revenue increased by $30,231,743, or 836.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is mainly due to a full year of management fees of approximately $26.4 million, approximately $4.0 million, and approximately $1.2 million generated from the Carlisle Funds (related party), the ETF Funds, and the LP Funds (related party) respectively, compared to one month of management fees of approximately $2.4 million and approximately $0.4 million generated from the Carlisle Funds and the ETF Funds in 2024 due to the timing of the Carlisle Acquisition and FCF Acquisition (December 2, 2024). Refer to Note 3, Business Combinations and Note 19, Related-Party Transactions for additional information. The Company did not record significant performance fees during the year ended December 31, 2025. Refer to the Assets Under Management section below for the change in total assets managed and refer to the Key Business Metrics below for the average management fees charged.

Life Solutions

Year Ended December 31,

Life solutions revenue increased by $92,398,550 or 85.3% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is mainly due to an increase of $127,743,398 in realized gains, partially offset by $(4,499,783) decrease in unrealized gains, $(20,088,905) in premiums paid, and $(13,881,208) fee-based revenue that did not recur related to policies accounted for under the fair value method. Fee-based revenue includes a) commissions earned from the sale of insurance policies, both in the first year the policy is sold and, when applicable, when the underlying policyholder renews their policy in subsequent years; and b) one-time consulting fees that can vary widely on a quarterly basis by identifying policies available for sale, valuing these policies, and negotiating terms with sellers and buyers. Refer to Note 13, Fair Value Measures for additional information on the composition of revenue from life insurance policies. Insurance commissions revenue is new in 2025 due the Company acquiring NIB and AccuQuote. Refer to Note 3, Business Combinations for additional information.

The realized and unrealized gain activity is mainly due to the Company’s expanded capital base and deployment capacity following two major financing events: a $90 million equity raise in November 2024, a $100 million debt facility acquired in December 2024, and a $50 million delayed draw financing in September 2025. The additional capital enabled the Company to acquire a larger portfolio of life insurance policies, with a substantial portion sold during the year ended December 31, 2025 to investors seeking uncorrelated assets. The average realized gain per policy sold also improved markedly, rising from 24.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 32.5% for the year ended December 31, 2025. This reflects increased institutional demand for life settlement policies as uncorrelated assets, creating more favorable pricing conditions for the Company’s portfolio trades. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold approximately 68% of the policies that were on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and redeployed a majority of that capital to purchase additional policies. In the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s weighted average discount rate was 13%, which is based on the historical and current realized gains on policies sold, risk score, duration, and current demand for uncorrelated assets. Refer to Note 4, Revenues and Note 13, Fair Value Measurements to the consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Technology Services

Table of Contents

Year Ended December 31,

Technology services revenue increased by$683,557 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

The increase of $10,694,956, or 135.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily related to the amortization of acquired businesses intangible assets.

Unrealized Loss (Gain) on Equity Securities, at Fair Value

Year Ended December 31,

Unrealized gain on investments decreased by $(238,012) or (100.0)% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The change is mainly due to investments in S&P 500 options sold in 2024.

Realized Loss (Gain) on Equity Securities, at Fair Value

Year Ended December 31,

Realized gain on investments decreased by $2,341,066 or (100.0)% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

(Gain) Loss on Change in Fair Value of Debt

Year Ended December 31,

Table of Contents

Gain on change in fair value of debt increased by $(8,197,454) or (169.5)% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The change is primarily attributable to the payoff of the market-indexed notes. The Company’s final paid amount to the debt holders was less than the fair value amount reported, resulting in the reported gain. The Company had the contractual right to pay off the debt at par value, and the fair value of the debt at retirement was different from its par value (due to the prevailing interest rate at the end of each reporting period, amongst other factors). Please refer to Note 14, Long-Term Debt for further information.

Other Income (Expense)

Year Ended December 31,

Other income increased by $587,799 or 1545.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The change is primarily related to lending fees discussed in Note 9, Other Investments and Other Assets, partially offset by losses in foreign exchange conversions.

Interest expense increased by $(20,514,251) or 112.2% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in interest expense is primarily related to the $100,000,000 issuance of the Senior Secured Credit Facility borrowed in December 2024, to the $50,000,000 delayed draw borrowed in September 2025 that was available under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, and the $72,727,075 increase in the Fixed Rate Senior Unsecured Notes in connection with the Carlisle Acquisition borrowed in December 2024.

Interest income increased by $1,462,306 or 61.0% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in interest income is related to interest earned on our bank deposits.

The loss on change in fair value of warrant liability decreased by $997,847 or (36.9)% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The change is primarily attributable to the redemption of all the Private Placement Warrants offset by the issuance of common stock. Refer to Note 13, Fair Value Measurements for additional information.

Income Tax Expense

Year Ended December 31,

Income tax expense increased by $9,949,383, or 181.4% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We monitor key business metrics and non-GAAP financial measures that assist us in evaluating our business, measuring our performance, identifying trends and making strategic decisions. We have presented the following non-GAAP measures, their most directly comparable GAAP measure, and key business metrics:

Non-GAAP Measure Comparable GAAP Measure

Adjusted EBITDA Net Income

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for GAAP measures, net income (loss) (for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin), net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (for Adjusted Net Income) or earnings (loss) per share (for Adjusted EPS), which are considered to be the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures

Table of Contents

have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing Company’s operating performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, earnings (loss) per share or other consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income is presented for the purpose of calculating Adjusted EPS. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders adjusted for non-controlling interest income, amortization, change in fair value of warrants, business acquisition costs and special legal costs, and non-cash stock-based compensation and the related stock-based limitation tax effect before the estimated tax effect. The estimated tax effect to adjusted net income is based on the Company’s U.S. based federal and state statutory tax rates. We believe that Adjusted Net Income provides an additional measure of operating performance that eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance.

Adjusted EPS measures our per share earnings and is calculated as Adjusted Net Income divided by adjusted weighted-average shares outstanding. We believe that Adjusted EPS may be useful to investors because it enables them to better evaluate per share operating performance across reporting periods by eliminating the impact of expenses that do not relate to the Company’s business performance.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted EPS to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, earnings per share, on a historical basis for the periods indicated below:

Table of Contents

Note: Totals may not add up due to rounding.

The change in adjusted net Income was primarily a result of the factors described in connection with operating revenues and operating expenses and the items listed above.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA is net income adjusted for depreciation expense, amortization, interest expense, income tax, business acquisition costs and special legal costs, non-cash expenses, and certain other items that in our judgment significantly impact the period-over-period assessment of performance and operating results that do not directly relate to business performance within the Company's control. These items may include payments made as part of the Company's expense support commitment, change in fair value of debt, change in fair value of warrant liability, S&P 500 options that were entered into as an economic hedge related to the debt (described as the realized and unrealized gain on equity securities, at fair value), non-cash stock based compensation, and other items. Adjusted EBITDA should not be determined as substitution for net income (loss), cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities, operating income (loss), or other metrics prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in understanding the Company’s ongoing operating performance by presenting comparable financial results between periods. We believe that by removing the impact of depreciation and amortization and excluding certain non-cash charges, amounts spent on interest and taxes, and certain other charges that are variable from year to year. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides our investors with performance measures that reflect the impact to operations from trends in changes in revenue, policy values, and operating expenses that provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss) and operating income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA excludes items which we believe may cause short-term fluctuations in net income (loss) and operating income (loss) which we do not consider to be the primary drivers of the Company’s business.

Key Business Metrics

We monitor the following key business metrics:

•Revenue generated from life policies: (i) policies sold, matured, and bought, (ii) realized gains, (iii) revenues from maturities, (iv) net death benefit value of policies held, (v) turnover ratio, and (vi) holding period. The number of policies sold and purchased helps us measure the level of trading activity for the period that leads to realized and unrealized gains, respectively. Realized gains on sold policies and revenues from maturities is used to measure our profit optimization. The net death benefit of policies represents the maximum potential maturity revenue realization on policies held. The turnover ratio measures our capital efficiency with a higher number generally correlating to growth in realized gains. The holding period is based on the weighted average age of life settlement policies, which tracks our ability to make hold or trade decisions that enhance realized gains.

•Asset management revenue: (i) assets under management also referred to as the net asset value of funds (“AUM” or “NAV”). AUM drives management fees and performance fees generated by the Company.

•Servicing revenue: (i) number of policies serviced, (ii) face value of policies serviced, and (iii) total invested dollars. Servicing revenue involves the provision of services for maintaining the policy, managing processing of claims in the event of death of the insured, and ensuring timely payment of optimized premiums computed to derive maximum return on maturity of the policy. The number of policies and the face value of policies serviced represents the volume and dollar face value of policies over which the above services are performed. Total invested dollars represent the acquisition cost plus premiums paid for serviced policies and is used to determine servicing fees.

•Origination revenue: Origination revenues represent fees negotiated for each purchase and sale of a policy with an investor. The number of policy originations (i) represents the volume of policies over which the above origination services are performed. The number of policy originations directly correlates with origination revenues allowing management to evaluate fees earned upon each transaction.

Note: Realized gains represent the difference between the sale price of life insurance policies or the net death benefit of matured life insurance policies, net of the original cost of the corresponding life settlement policy plus related lifetime continuing costs (e.g., premium costs) (together all costs associated with life insurance policies are “Lifetime Carrying Costs”). The average realized gain on policies sold represents realized gains as a percentage of related Lifetime Carrying Costs of sold life insurance policies. There were no significant differences in the weighted average realized gains from life settlement policies sold to external- or related-parties for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company finances its operations primarily through cash generated from operations and net proceeds from debt or equity financing. The Company actively manages its working capital and the associated cash requirements when servicing and originating policies while also effectively utilizing cash and other sources of liquidity to purchase additional life settlement policies. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our principal source of liquidity was cash and cash equivalents totaling $38,112,332 and $131,944,282, respectively.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate. The Company. may, in the future, enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies. The Company may seek additional equity or debt financing.

In December 2023, April 2025, June 2025, and November 2025 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $15,000,000, $15,000,000, $20,000,000, and $10,000,000 repurchase plans, respectively, that will expire in May 2027. As of December 31, 2025, $4,191,405 remains available for repurchases under the approved plan. Refer to Note 15, Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity for additional information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Our preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as revenue and expense recorded during the reporting periods. The Company evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and or other relevant assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from management’s estimates. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements for further information related to our critical accounting policies and estimates, which are as follows:

Valuation of Life Insurance Policies—including how the Company accounts for its holdings of life insurance settlement policies at fair value in accordance with ASC 325-30, Investments in Insurance Contracts and ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The Company's valuation of life settlements are considered Level 3, as there is currently no active market where the Company is able to observe quoted prices for identical assets. The Company’s valuation model incorporates significant inputs that are not observable. Refer to Note 5, Life Insurance Settlement Policies and Note 13, Fair Value Measurements to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Valuation of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets—including how the Company determines the fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets and reporting units, and how the Company determines when an impairment loss should be recorded. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we conducted our annual goodwill impairment test and did not record any impairment charges. The estimated fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts at the date of their most recent estimated fair value determination. During 2025, we evaluated our other intangible assets for impairment and did not record any impairment charges. Refer to Note 3, Business Combinations and Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assetsto the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Abacus Global Management, Inc.

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Abacus Global Management, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical audit matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates

Life settlement policies, at fair value

As described further in note 13 to the financial statements, for life settlement policies reported at fair value, the valuation is based on Level 3 inputs that reflect management’s assumptions about what factors market participants would use in pricing the asset. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow with Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of each policy. This model uses discount rates applied to the policies in inventory analyzed by risk category. Each policy is assigned a proprietary risk score from 1 to 5, with 5 being higher risk, based on multiple factors including insured age, life expectancy, life expectancy extension ratio, survival probability at breakeven, maturity probability, and risk-adjusted return on capital metrics. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of life settlement policies was $468,857,929. We identified the

determination of the discount rates used in the model to estimate the fair value of life settlement policies as a critical audit matter

The principal considerations for our determination that the discount rate used in the model to estimate the fair value of life settlement policies is a critical audit matter are that the discount rates used in the fair value model are subjective inputs determined by management which can have material impacts to the fair value estimated by the Company. The selection and application of discount rates requires management to use significant judgement. Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s judgements in the selection and application of the discount rates required a high degree of auditor subjectivity.

Our audit procedures related to the discount rates used in the model to estimate the fair value of life settlement policies included the following, among others:

•We obtained an understanding of the design of the Company’s controls around the development of the discount rates

•We involved firm valuation specialists to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s judgments in selecting and applying discount rate assumptions, including examining internal portfolio metrics and relevant available external information.

•We involved firm valuation specialists to independently recalculate the fair value of the portfolio of life settlement policies based on the discount rate assumptions determined by management

•We tested the accuracy and completeness of key inputs used to assign policy‐level risk scores for a sample of life settlement policies, which are used in determining risk score‐specific discount rates.

•We performed a lookback analysis by comparing prior‐year fair value estimates and related assumptions to actual experience during the current period to assess the reasonableness of management’s estimation process.
