GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE

June 9, 2011


Ohio Revised Code 3903.42 sets forth the priorities and order of distribution of claims. Based upon our best good faith estimates and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Liquidator presently estimates in good faith that she will pay 100% of allowed claims in Class 1 and that, based on information currently available, she will pay a pro-rata amount of allowed Class 2 claims. At this particular time, the Liquidator does not expect to make any distributions to claimants in classes 3 through 9. These good faith estimates are expected to change prior to the actual distributions and closing of the LMI estate. The actual pro-rata distributions will be reflected in the Liquidator's Motion for Order Approving Final Report of Claims to be filed at or near the time of the distribution of assests of the LMI estate. As of and effective June 9, 2011, the Liquidator is working toward filing a motion for authority to make a First Interim Distribution to allowed Class 2 claimants in 2011, which will pay a portion of their allowed Class 2 claims. The Liquidator further estimates in good faith that the Estate will remain open until approximately 2015, and that a final distribution to Class 2 claimants will occur in or after 2015.

As soon as deemed appropriate, further information regarding the distributions will be posted on our web site here and in court filed documents that can be viewed by clicking on the Documents tab above. These good faith estimates are based upon information available and the circumstances known at the time that they were made. Before relying on these estimates in making any decisions, be aware that the underlying facts and circumstances upon which they are based are subject to change.
