FINRA & PRIVACY POLICY

---

Select members of our firm are SEC licensed under FINRA. To the extent a Transaction involves the exchange of “securities” as defined under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Securities-Related Activities”), such activities will be conducted through our relationship with an outside Broker Dealer Group. Specifically, Securities-Related Activities will be assigned to and supervised by a Broker Dealer member of FINRA/SIPC. 

In February 2014, the Security and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Division of Trading and Markets publicly issued a significant no-action letter advising that M&A brokers no longer need to register as broker-dealers to facilitate mergers, acquisitions, business sales and business combinations based upon the following:

1. An M&A broker will not have the ability to bind a party to an M&A transaction.
2. An M&A broker will not provide financing for an M&A transaction.
3. An M&A broker may not have custody, control or possession of or otherwise handle funds or securities issued or exchanged in connection with the transaction.
4. The transaction cannot involve a public offering.
5. An M&A broker who represents both buyers and sellers must clearly disclose such representation and obtain written consent from both parties.
6. An M&A broker will facilitate an M&A transaction with a group of buyers only if the group is formed without the assistance of the M&A broker.
7. The buyer must control and actively operate the acquired company.
8. The transaction cannot result in the transfer of interests to a passive buyer.
9. Securities received by the buyer or M&A broker in the transaction must be restricted securities.
10. The M&A broker and its officers, directors and employees cannot have been barred or suspended from association with a registered broker-dealer.
