Bernstein Liebhard LLP announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the common stock of Globe Life Inc. f/k/a Torchmark Corporation (“Globe Life” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GL) between May 8, 2019 and April 10, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers (the “Complaint”).

According to the Complaint, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made numerous materially false and misleading statements and omissions concerning: (i) Globe Life’s consistent premium revenue growth, particularly from American Income Life Insurance Company; and (ii) Globe Life’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”). Specifically, Defendants repeatedly attributed the Company’s consistent premium revenue growth “to increased agent count and productivity.” In addition, Globe Life’s Code of Conduct stated, among other things, that “[t]he Company is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment,” that “[v]iolence and threatening behavior are not permitted,” and that “[t]he use of illegal drugs in the workplace will not be tolerated.”
The truth was revealed on April 11, 2024, when investment research firm Fuzzy Panda published a report alleging that, since 2017, Globe Life had engaged in widespread insurance fraud. The report alleged that several Globe Life subsidiaries were underwriting policies for dead and fictitious people, as well as adding policies to existing customers’ accounts without their consent. In addition, the investment research firm uncovered evidence that Globe Life subsidiaries maintained a hostile workplace where sexual harassment, drug use, and sexual assault went unchecked.
On this news, Globe Life’s stock price fell $55.76 per share, or 53.19%, to close at $49.17 per share on April 11, 2024.
