State and Federal Securities Laws Sample Clauses

State and Federal Securities Laws. It is possible that, depending on the facts and circumstances attending a particular sale of a life insurance policy, a sale could implicate state and federal securities laws. For example, in a case decided by the Eleventh Circuit on May 6, 2005, SEC v. Mutual Benefits Corp., a transaction involving the sale of a viatical settlement was held to be an “investment contract,” and thus a “security” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the Securities Exchange Act, thereby subjecting the transaction to the requirements and restrictions of the federal securities laws. It is also possible that sales of life insurance policies, including variable life insurance policies, may be subject to applicable state blue sky laws, or other federal and state securities laws. The failure to comply with applicable securities laws in connection with dealings in life settlement transactions could result in fines, and administrative and civil sanctions and, in some instances, to criminal sanctions. In addition, parties may be entitled to a remedy of rescission regarding such transactions. Furthermore, the SEC’s life settlements task force recently released a staff report (the “Report”) making a number of recommendations relating to the life settlements industry. The Report recommends that the SEC: (1) recommend that the U.S. Congress amend the statutory definition of “security” to include all life settlements, whether singular or fractional, and regardless of whether the underlying life insurance policy is a variable or non-variable policy; (2) monitor the overall development of the life settlement securitization market; (3) instruct its personnel to continue monitoring whether life settlement brokers and providers are in compliance with applicable legal standards of conduct; and (4) encourage both the U.S. Congress and state lawmakers to consider more robust regulation relating to life expectancy underwriters. The adoption of the Report’s recommendations would have significant implications for the life settlements industry, and in turn, for the Issuer. Intermediaries in this marketplace would be required to register as broker-dealers or registered investment advisers, and would otherwise be subject to oversight by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which require adherence to numerous rules and guidelines designed to protect investors and increase transactional transparency.
