Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously disclosed, on November 26, 2008, LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. (“LFG”) and LandAmerica 1031 Exchange Services, Inc. (“LES” and, together with LFG and certain other debtor-affiliates, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

OnAlso as previously disclosed, on November 23, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order ~~(the “Confirmation Order”)~~ confirming the Debtors’ joint plan of liquidation under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, as revised and filed with the Bankruptcy Court on November 16, 2009 (the “Plan”). ~~The Plan will be effective as of a date (the “Effective Date”) to be determined. It is presently anticipated that the Effective Date will occur in December 2009.~~

It is not possible to determine the extent of recoveries of creditors of the Debtors, as these will continue to be dependent on the completion of the asset recovery and allocation process, and the determination of the total claims pool, none of which have been completed at this time. Recovery of any claims by creditors against any of the LFG ~~Liquidating~~related ~~Trust~~companies’ bankruptcy estates is highly speculative and LFG urges investors to use extreme caution in any investment decisions.

~~The~~Item ~~LFG liquidating trust (the “LFG Trust”) will oversee the liquidation or sale of certain LFG assets and LFG non-Debtor subsidiaries~~5.02.

It will be charged with pursuing litigation against unaffiliated third parties relating to LES’ purchase or sale of auction rate securities and otherwise monetizing LES’ auction rate securities.
