MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 25, 2016 -- GWG Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GWGH) (“GWG Holdings” or the “Company”), announced today a common stock repurchase program, authorizing the Company to purchase up to $2 million of the Corporation's outstanding shares of common stock.
CEO Jon Sabes said, “We believe the Company’s common stock is significantly undervalued considering the Company’s net asset value of $13.361 per share, our unique business model serving thousands of independent financial advisors, and the substantial growth opportunity in the secondary market for life insurance.”
The share repurchase authorization was approved by GWG’s Board of Directors, is effective immediately, and has no expiration date. The authorization gives management discretion in determining the market and business conditions under which shares may be purchased.
1 Net asset value per share is calculated as present value of the Company’s portfolio of life insurance policies using a discount rate of 6.96% (equal to the Company’s weighted average cost of capital) plus cash on hand less the sum of the Company’s interest bearing debt and preferred stock, divided by the number of basic shares outstanding. All figures as of September 30, 2015.
