Item 8.01.  Other Events
 
On July 28, 2010, Life Partners Holdings, Inc. (“we” or “Life Partners”) issued a press release announcing our upcoming annual meeting and the impact of recent reports issued by the Government Accountability Office and the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning the life settlements industry.  The press release also indicates the Board of Directors’ intention to discuss a possible spin off of our investment in an unaffiliated life settlements trust, which was recorded at $6,371,723 at May 31, 2010.  At May 31, 2010, the trust held settlements with a face value of $696 million ($138.5 million net to our interest).  The board’s intention to discuss this matter does not infer that it will act.  Any such transaction is dependent on a number of factors, including the financial and tax consequences associated with the transaction and the trust’s consent to a transaction.  The press release is furnished as an exhibit and is posted on our website (www.lphi.com).
 
The information in this Form 8-K under Item 8.01 and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific referencing in such filing.
