Distribution

After reviewing the available cash and the level of reserves he is required to maintain, the Receiver has determined that he cannot make a distribution to the investors at this time. According to the latest stochastic report, the Receiver is required to maintain approximately $13 million in premium reserves. As a result, he does not have sufficient cash on hand to make a distribution. When additional maturities occur, the Receiver will re-evaluate whether he can make a distribution.

Receiver’s Reports

Although the active phase of the Receivership has ended, the Receiver continues to manage the estate’s cash and insurance policies. To keep the investors and court informed, the Receiver will report on the status of the estate and his activities quarterly. You can find the quarterly reports on the Investor Communications page. The Receiver has issued his report through the 4th Quarter of 2023.
