On May 19, 2022, after the market closed, LMP announced that it would restate previously issued financial statements for the first three quarters of 2021 due to: “(i) the improper identification and elimination of intercompany transactions, (ii) incorrect estimates of chargeback reserves for finance insurance products, and (iii) certain financial statement misclassifications.”
