J.G Wentworth and Peachtree Brands to Continue Operating Under Holding Company
RADNOR, Pa., September 22, 2014 – JGWPT Holdings Inc. (NYSE: JGW) today announced the company will be changing its name to The J.G. Wentworth Company on September 30, 2014.

Wentworth Company, we are positioned as a powerful family of brands that will continue to provide leading solutions in the structured settlement payment purchasing industry while leveraging a platform for future growth into diversified financial services.”
The name change will be effected pursuant to an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, which was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on September 19, 2014, to be effective at 12:01 a.m. (Eastern) on September 30, 2014. The J.G. Wentworth Company will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol JGW.
