    Disclosure Events

    What you should know about reported disclosure events:

    1. All individuals registered to sell securities or provide investment advice are required to disclose customercomplaints and arbitrations, regulatory actions, employment terminations, bankruptcy filings, and criminal or civiljudicial proceedings.

    2. Certain thresholds must be met before an event is reported to CRD, for example: o A law enforcement agency must file formal charges before a broker is required to disclose a particular

    criminal event. o A customer dispute must involve allegations that a broker engaged in activity that violates certain rules

    or conduct governing the industry and that the activity resulted in damages of at least $5,000.

    3. Disclosure events in BrokerCheck reports come from different sources: o As mentioned at the beginning of this report, information contained in BrokerCheck comes from brokers,

    brokerage firms and regulators. When more than one of these sources reports information for the samedisclosure event, all versions of the event will appear in the BrokerCheck report. The different versionswill be separated by a solid line with the reporting source labeled.

    4. There are different statuses and dispositions for disclosure events: o A disclosure event may have a status of pending, on appeal, or final.

    A "pending" event involves allegations that have not been proven or formally adjudicated. An event that is "on appeal" involves allegations that have been adjudicated but are currently

    being appealed. A "final" event has been concluded and its resolution is not subject to change.

    o A final event generally has a disposition of adjudicated, settled or otherwise resolved. An "adjudicated" matter includes a disposition by (1) a court of law in a criminal or civil matter, or

    (2) an administrative panel in an action brought by a regulator that is contested by the partycharged with some alleged wrongdoing.

    A "settled" matter generally involves an agreement by the parties to resolve the matter. Pleasenote that brokers and brokerage firms may choose to settle customer disputes or regulatorymatters for business or other reasons.
