On August 29, 2012, Life Partners Holdings, Inc. ("we") issued a press release announcing that we and the Texas Attorney General had agreed to defer a state court hearing on the Attorney General's request for a temporary injunction and appointment of receiver until September 24, 2012.

The agreement continues the previously announced temporary restraining order, which prohibits the paying of dividends before the September 24 hearing. We had previously declared a dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on or about September 15, 2012, to shareholders of record as of September 3, 2012. The September 24 hearing will likely determine if and when the dividend can be paid. If we are unable to pay the dividend before October 23, 2012, we must fix a new record date to pay a dividend.

The press release is furnished as an exhibit and is posted on our website (www.lphi.com).
