Half-Yearly Report 2021 /Life Settlement Assets PLC /1

Strategic Update

Introduction

Life Settlement Assets PLC ("LSA" or the "Company") is a closed-ended investment trust company which invests in, and manages, portfolios of whole and fractional interests in life settlement policies issued by life insurance companies operating predominantly in the United States.

The Company's objective is to generate long-term returns for investors by managing its portfolios of life settlement interests so that the realised value of the Policies at maturity exceeds the aggregate cost of acquiring the Policies, ongoing premiums, management fees and other operational costs.

COMPANY STRUCTURE

Life Settlement Assets PLC operates through its Board, and strategic partnerships with service providers covering investment management, actuarial, administrative, company secretarial, and tracking services.

Reflecting the development of the Company through the acquisition of portfolios of interests in life settlement policies, each portfolio was placed into a separate asset trust and reflected by a separate Share Class.

Following the merger of the D Ordinary Shares and E Ordinary Shares into the A Ordinary Shares on 30 April 2020 and the merger of the B Ordinary Shares with the A Ordinary Shares on 28 May 2021, the Company structure as at

30 June 2021 was as follows:

A Ordinary Shareholders

Services Agreement

Acheron Capital Ltd

Beneficial interest

(attributable to the A Ordinary Shares)

Investment

Management

Agreement

Acheron Portfolio Trust*

US Life Insurance Policies

The Company's principal strategic partner relationship is with the Trust's Investment Manager, Acheron Capital Ltd, which provides investment management services.

As more fully described in the Chairman's Statement on page 5, the A and B Share Classes were merged on 28 May 2021.
