An investment in Renewable Secured Debentures may be considered speculative and subject to a high degree of risk, including the risk of losing your entire investment. The information provided herein does not constitute an offer to buy securities or the solicitation of an offer to sell securities. Renewable Secured Debentures are not available in the following states: AL, AK, AR, DC, MD, NC, OH, OK, PA, TN, TX. Elevated suitability restrictions apply in the following states: AZ, IA, ID, KS, KY, MA, ME, NE, NM, ND, NJ, OR, SC, WA. An offer to sell securities can only be made by a Prospectus, pursuant to a registration statement, and any amendments thereto, then effective and on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Investors must read the entire Prospectus for investment conditions, risk factors, minimum requirements, fees and expenses and other pertinent information with respect to the Renewable Secured Debentures in order to obtain the information essential to making an informed investment decision. Risks may include, but are not limited to, GWG’s limited operating history, lack of liquidity or a secondary market, continued low interest rates, subordination to senior debt, actuarial experience, among other factors. The secondary market for life insurance policies is new and relatively unproven. Changes to the actuarial assumptions or development of the secondary market for life insurance policies may have an adverse effect on Renewable Secured Debentures, resulting in a potential loss of principal. Similarly, the deterioration of credit quality of life insurance carriers may cause the inability for a carrier to make a payment on the underlying life insurance policies which would have an adverse impact on Renewable Secured Debentures. Certain restrictions apply to this investment including, but not limited to, geographic availability, investor suitability, redemptions prior to maturity and assignment prohibitions. No dealer, broker, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by GWG to give any information or to make any representation other than as contained in the Prospectus, and, if given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by GWG. No statement found herein is incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, and no statement herein constitutes any part of the Prospectus. GWG is under no obligation to update any information included herein. The information and expressions of opinions are subject to change without notice and speak only as of the respective dates in which they are made.
