Highlights:
A lawsuit has been filed against Lincoln National Corporation alleging securities law violations.
The case stems from concerns about the company’s financial disclosures and overstated reserves.
Shareholders who purchased shares before November 2020 and continue to hold them may have legal options.
A lawsuit is currently pending for certain shareholders of Lincoln National Corporation (NYSE:LNC). The case, initially filed on April 25, 2024, alleges that the company violated securities laws by failing to disclose key issues affecting its financial performance. The plaintiff claims that Lincoln National did not reveal a decline in its variable universal life (VUL) insurance business, which led to overstated goodwill and inaccurate assumptions about policy lapses and reserves.
The lawsuit argues that these failures resulted in the misstatement of the company’s financial results and misled shareholders about the true state of Lincoln National’s business. According to the allegations, the company’s positive statements about its operations and future prospects lacked a reasonable basis, potentially misleading stakeholders who relied on the information provided.
On October 24, 2024, the court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel to manage the case. The legal proceedings have highlighted concerns about the company’s disclosures, particularly related to its life insurance business, which may have impacted the financial statements of Lincoln National.
Shareholders who acquired shares of Lincoln National Corporation prior to November 2020 and continue to hold those shares may have legal options.
