Spector Roseman Kodroff & Willis, P.C. ( www.srkw-law.com : ) today announced that it is investigating Advanta Corp. (“Advanta” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:ADVNB) for potential violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). The investigation focuses on investments in company stock in the Advanta Corp. Employee Stock Ownership Plan and the Advanta Corp. Employee Savings Plan (together, the "Plans").

Spector Roseman’s investigation involves concerns that Advanta and other administrators of the Plans may have breached their ERISA-mandated fiduciary duties of loyalty and prudence to participants and beneficiaries of the Plans. A breach may have occurred if the fiduciaries failed to manage the assets of the Plans prudently and loyally by investing the assets in Company

stock when it was no longer a prudent investment for participants' retirement savings.

If you are a participant in the Advanta Corp. Employee Stock Ownership Plan and/or the Advanta Corp. Employee Savings Plan and held Advanta common stock in your Plan account, you may contact Theodore M. Lieverman or Andrew D. Abramowitz at the firm’s toll-free number, 888-844-5862.
Even if you have relatively small losses, a class action lawsuit can protect your rights at no cost to you.
