Use of Proceeds

Our Form S-1 registration statement relating to our offer and sale of “Renewable Secured Debentures” (File Nos. 333-174887 and 333-174887-01) was declared effective by the SEC on January 31, 2012, and our offering of debentures commenced on such date.  On June 4, 2013, our post-effective amendment to our registration statement was declared effective by the SEC. The debentures are secured in part by a guarantee from our subsidiary GWG Life Settlements, LLC and a related grant of a security interest in substantially all of the assets of GWG Life Settlements, which guarantee was also registered as a security under the referenced registration statement.  Arque Capital Ltd. serves as our managing broker-dealer and underwriter for the offering.
 
The registration statement covers up to $250 million in principal amount of debentures. From January 31, 2012 through September 30, 2013, we sold a total of $119,673,000 in principal amount of debentures, and incurred, along with other expenses, associated underwriting commissions, and expenses paid or payable to underwriters in the amount of $9,591,000.  None of the payments for offering expenses were directly or indirectly made to directors or officers (or their associates) of our company, affiliates of our company, or to persons owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities of our company.  No net proceeds were used for direct or indirect payments to directors or officers (or their associates) of our company, affiliates of our company, or to persons owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities of our company.  As of September 30, 2013 we have an un-papered receipt of $937,000 resulting in net proceeds of $112,702,000 in use as of this date.
 
Net offering proceeds not immediately applied to the uses summarized above will be invested short-term investments such as money market funds, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury Bills and similar securities investments pending their use.
