The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (NYSE:PNX) Files Second Quarter 2014 Form 10-Q

Hartford, Conn., Nov. 7, 2014 – The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (NYSE:PNX) today announced the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
“Despite the loss for the first half of 2014, driven primarily by expenses related to the restatement and SEC reporting catch-up work, the business performed well with year-over-year sales growth, strong investment performance, favorable overall mortality and excellent persistency,” said James D. Wehr, president and chief executive officer.
“We expect to return to current SEC filer status no later than Dec. 5 with our third quarter 2014 Form 10-Q filing,” Mr. Wehr added.
