Imperial is a specialty finance company that, through its operating subsidiaries, provides liquidity solutions to owners of illiquid financial assets. Imperial provides premium financing for individual life insurance policies and also purchases life insurance policies in the life settlement and secondary markets for resale to investors. On September 27, 2011, after the close of trading, Imperial issued a press release announcing that it had been served with a search warrant issued by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The Company disclosed that ait and certain of its employees, including its chairman and chief executive officer, and its president and chief operating officer, are under investigation in the District of New Hampshire with respect to its life finance business.a On this news, shares of Company stock declined $4.11 per share, or 65.24%, to close at $2.19 per share on September 28, 2011, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The Complaint alleges that the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the IPO were materially false and misleading and/or omitted to state that the Company had engaged in serious wrongdoing in connection with its life finance business, which would expose Imperial and certain of its employees, including its chief executive officer and its chief operating officer, to a criminal investigation by the FBI in conjunction with the United States Attorneyas Office for the District of New Hampshire.

Plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Imperial common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the IPO (the aClassa).
