The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating the Allegations that Lincoln National Corporation (LNC) Misled Investors Regarding its VUL Business

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (1) the Company was experiencing a decline in its VUL business; (2) as a result, the goodwill associated with the life insurance business was overstated; (3) as a result, the Company’s policy lapse assumptions were outdated; (4) as a result, the Company’s reserves were overstated; and (5) therefore, the Company’s reported financial results and financial statements were misstated.

When the truth came out in the Company's third quarter 2022 financial results, Lincoln National's stock price fell $17.27, or 33%, to close at $34.83 per share on November 3, 2022.
