potential inability of Abacus to grow its market share of the life
settlement industry or to achieve efficiencies regarding its

policies, increased longevity of insureds, and errors in the
methodology and assumptions of life expectancy reports, (vii) legal

or assignment of certain life settlements, (viii) the
enforceability of Abacus’ intellectual property rights, including
its trademarks and trade secrets, and the potential infringement on

on senior management and other key employees, and (x) the risk of
downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the industry in
which Abacus operates. The foregoing list of factors is not
exhaustive.
