No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Case Allegations:   The Lincoln National lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company was experiencing a decline in its variable universal life (VUL) business; (2) the goodwill associated with the life insurance business was overstated; (3) the Company’s policy lapse assumptions were outdated; (4) the Company’s reserves were overstated; (5) the Company’s reported financial results and financial statements were misstated; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. 

The lawsuit alleges that after the market closed on November 2, 2022, Lincoln National released its third quarter 2022 financial results, reporting a net loss of $2.6 billion for the quarter.  The Company explained “[t]he current quarter’s adjusted operating results included net unfavorable notable items of $2.0 billion, or $11.62 per share, related to the company’s annual review of [its deferred acquisition cost] and reserve assumptions.” The Company also disclosed that it “incurred a $634 million goodwill impairment to the life insurance business.”  On this news, Lincoln’s stock price plummeted more than 33%, falling $17.27 to close at $34.83 per share on November 3, 2022.
