LEE Management – Joe Pinsonneault

Joe Pinsonneault is a natural, born entrepreneur. Joe has enjoyed unparalleled success in a number of ventures starting at a young age. For example, early in his professional life, Joe was the youngest Buick dealer in North America. His successes have included high-end automotive sales, real estate development (at one time owning a portfolio valued in excess of $200 Million) and investments in alternative financial products. Joe possesses the rare ability to identify financial opportunities – even in the most unstable, turbulent and daunting times. Joe has successfully pursued a host of opportunities where others could perceive no hope. Despite the economic challenges that we have all faced, and will continue to face, Joe has found a prudent investment for today’s investors, Life Settlements. Joe contributes his considerable entrepreneurial expertise, business acumen and dogged determination to offer sound financial opportunities to individual investors who have previously been unable to participate in the life settlement market.

Concerns for Investor

A distressed economy has direct consequences for the investor:

• a volatile stock market… … resulting in present and potential losses

• greatly reduced real estate values…… resulting in losses up to 40%

Unpredictability and erosion of traditional investment values is the “new investment reality.”

Costs of a Safe-HarborWall Street Journal, June 27, 2011

“Take My Cash Please… …Nervous Treasurys Investors Give Up on Returns Altogether”

“Investors seeking shelter…are pushing safe-harbor yields so low that they are lending to the U.S. government for free, or even paying a small fee to do so.”

Opportunity for the Investor

• The Warren Buffets of this world, the “big” investors, the hedge funds, etc. have access to alternative asset classes regular investor do not have.

• One such asset class that has been available to these investors is life settlements.

Life Settlements

What is a Life Settlement?

Definition:

A life settlement is a financial transaction in which the owner of a life insurance policy sells an unneeded policy to a third party for significantly more than its cash surrender value and less than its face value.

Choices for the InsuredChoices

Benefits for the Seller/Insured:

If insured no longer wants or needs life insurance policy…

…he/she has 3 choices:

1. Let the policy lapse and get nothing;2. Surrender the policy for very little cash

(less than 10% of the paid premium)s; or3. Sell it to a third party.

Reality Check

This is the reality:

Insurance Information Institute 2005

A Choice for the Insured: Sale to a Third Party

Sale of Life Insurance Policy to a third party means that…

Example:A $1,000,000 policy – depending on the individual condition of the insured – is valued… • somewhere between

$150,000 to $500,000• which is on average 10 – 30 times

higher than the Cash Surrender Value

3rd Party Buyer

Benefits for the Buyer (Investor)

• Straight-forward Investment • Wealth Preservation Tool• Life Insurance Substitute• Hedge Tool• Collateral for Borrowing

Life Settlements used to be the exclusive terrain for institutional investors and hedge funds.Now, they are also available for the regular investor…

…the buyer benefits from the Life Settlement in a number of ways.

He may use it as:

See how it works for the buyer in an example…

Life Settlement:Sample Data

• Policy Face Value: $1,000,000• Policy Purchase Price: $370,000• Annual Premium: $40,000

Let’s work with a typical Life Settlement:

* life expectancy according to general statistical/population data** life expectancy calculated by actuarial provider based on individual data and

statistical mortality tables (for the insurance company)

Life Settlement as Investment

Here is how a typical Life Settlement works for the buyer:

Even if the insured lives 5 years beyond the projected expectancythere will still be a positive cash flow at maturity.

Life Settlement asWealth Preservation Tool

Life Settlements are unaffected by those fluctuations……which makes it an effective wealth preservation tool.

Traditional investments to preserve your wealth, such as real estate and stocks, have been affected by uncertainties of the financial and economic crisis. Their loss in value has been dramatic…

Real estate has lost 30 – 60% of its value over the past years

Stocks are still 20 - 30% lower than before the financial crisis

Low Risk Asset

On the Relative Risk Spectrum Life settlements range on the Low Risk end.

Life Settlement asLife Insurance Substitute

Due to a number of factors (e.g., health concerns and medical conditions), not everyone is capable of obtaining life insurance for themselves at all or at an affordable price.

An investment in a Life Settlement can provide similar benefits for one’s family and possibly result in the payout of benefits while the investor is still around to enjoy them.

Buy your life insurance without applying for it…

…and live to enjoy the benefits.

Life Settlement as Hedge Tool

• In a volatile economy where traditional assets like stocks and real estate values have lost some of their value and where values are fluctuating a great deal, a life settlement can be used to hedge against such losses effectively.

• Life settlement effectively counterbalance any losses resulting from market fluctuations, protecting the overall value of the portfolio from any losses.

• It works as an insurance policy for any diversified portfolio.

Premium Reserve

LEE will place a sum equal to the premium due for 7 plus years in an independent third-party escrow, and a number of other steps to…

• assure the policies are protected and stay in force;

• free the investor from making any premium payments for at least 7 years.

Why a Funded Premium Reserve?

Premium Reserve Details

LEE has established a multilevel plan (“Premium Reserve”) in order to provide that premium payments are made until the date of maturity of the policies in the pool.

1. Placement of funds for each policy’s premiums in a premium escrow account sufficient to pay premiums for a period of 7 years.

2. An additional general premium reserve is established to pay premiums on policies not fully paid by level one. The money for the additional premium reserve is generated by the Trustee/Escrow Agent withholding 3 % of all policy cash payouts at the time of maturity.

3. Any leftover funds from unused premiums of matured policies is withheld by the Trustee/Escrow Agent and kept in the Premium Reserve.

4. On the fourth level, the compounded interest income derived from the premium reserve is withheld by the Trustee/Escrow Agent and added to the Premium Reserve.

Once all policies are paid out any unused premium reserves are distributed to the Investors.

How Does the Premium Reserve Work?

What is the “Trust Fund”

• Investor purchases a fractional interest in a pool of Life Settlements through a Trust Account administered by Bank of Utah (as Trustee).

• The Trustee takes ownership of the pool of Life Settlements, for the investor as irrevocable beneficiary.

• Upon execution of the Purchase Agreement the Trust will take ownership of such Life Settlement and issues a confirmation to the investor certifying that he/she is the irrevocable (fractional) beneficiary.

• The Trustee’s other responsibilities are to maintain the Premium Reserve account for the purpose of making the premium payments and to disburse the death benefits in accordance with the assignments of benefits relating to that policy.

• LEE has contracted with a well-established servicer to perform a certain post-closing policy maintenance services and, upon maturity, to file a claim for the death benefits with the appropriate insurance company.

Trust Fund

Transaction Overview

1. Investment Funds placed in Escrow

2. At Closing of Escrow:- Purchase Price to Seller- Policies transferred to Trustee

3. Trustee Issues Trust Certificates to Investors
