Coventry First LLC and its Executive Chairman Alan H. Buerger have filed a Motion to Dismiss a lawsuit brought by Abacus Global Management (NASDAQ: ABL) in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The motion, filed on September 2, 2025, argues that Abacus's lawsuit attempts to suppress constitutionally protected debate.

A key development supporting Coventry's position is that Lapetus Solutions, Abacus's primary life expectancy provider, ceased operations on August 31, 2025. Buerger emphasizes that transparent discussion about life expectancy estimates and industry practices is crucial for investors, regulators, and the overall life settlement market.

Buerger hanno presentato una mozione di respingimento riguardo a una causa intentata da Abacus Global Management (NASDAQ: ABL) presso la Corte Distrettuale degli Stati Uniti per il Middle District della Florida. La mozione, depositata il 2 settembre 2025, sostiene che la causa di Abacus cerchi di sopprimere un dibattito protetto costituzionalmente.

Un elemento chiave a sostegno della posizione di Coventry è che Lapetus Solutions, il principale fornitore di stime di aspettativa di vita di Abacus, ha cessato le attività il 31 agosto 2025. Buerger sottolinea che un confronto trasparente sulle stime di aspettativa di vita e sulle pratiche del settore è fondamentale per investitori, regolatori e per il mercato complessivo delle life settlement.

Coventry First LLC et son président exécutif Alan H. Buerger ont déposé une requête en rejet d’une action intentée par Abacus Global Management (NASDAQ: ABL) devant le tribunal fédéral des États-Unis pour le Middle District de Floride. La requête, déposée le 2 septembre 2025, soutient que la plainte d’Abacus cherche à réprimer un débat protégé par la Constitution.

Un développement clé appuyant la position de Coventry est que Lapetus Solutions, le principal fournisseur d’estimations d’espérance de vie d’Abacus, a cessé ses activités le 31 août 2025.

September 2025 eingereichte Antrag führt aus, dass Abacus� Klage versucht, verfassungsrechtlich geschützte Debatten zu unterdrücken.

Ein wesentlicher Aspekt, der Coventrys Position stützt, ist, dass Lapetus Solutions, Abacus� Hauptanbieter für Lebenserwartungsprognosen, den Betrieb am 31. August 2025 eingestellt hat. Buerger betont, dass eine transparente Auseinandersetzung über Lebenserwartungsschätzungen und Branchenpraktiken für Investoren, Aufsichtsbehörden und den gesamten Life-Settlement-Markt von zentraler Bedeutung ist.

Coventry and Alan Buerger Move to Dismiss Abacus Lawsuit

Motion underscores that Abacus's claims lack merit as Lapetus, its key life expectancy provider, shut its doors August 31

FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Coventry First LLC ("Coventry") and its Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, Alan H. Buerger, today announced that they have filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint brought by Abacus Global Management, Inc. ("Abacus") (NASDAQ: ABL) in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida on August 29, 2025. The full Motion to Dismiss can be found .

In the filing, Coventry and Mr. Buerger express their view that Abacus's lawsuit is an effort to silence constitutionally protected debate. As the Motion states:

"The First Amendment expresses 'a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open.' Abacus, however, seeks to flip that principle on its head. Faced with criticism about serious problems of its own making, Abacus brought this meritless lawsuit to muzzle those who have highlighted the truth or expressed their constitutionally protected opinions. That it cannot do."

The Motion also highlights that Abacus invested in and relied heavily upon Lapetus Solutions, Inc. ("Lapetus") as its primary life expectancy provider � but Lapetus publicly announced that it shut down all operations effective August 31, 2025. This development underscores the concerns raised regarding Abacus's practices and the importance of open debate about the life settlement industry. 

"Abacus's complaint is an attempt to silence robust debate on important issues affecting the life settlement industry, including the reliability of life expectancy estimates," said Mr. Buerger. "Transparent disclosures advance the interests of investors, regulators, and the life settlement market as a whole, and the First Amendment protects the right to voice opinions and concerns, particularly on matters of such public interest."
