Important Information
FINRA’s Code of Conduct imposes restrictions on employees’ investments and
requires financial disclosures that are uniquely related to our role as a
securities regulator. FINRA employees are required to disclose to FINRA all
brokerage accounts that they maintain, and those in which they control trading
or have a financial interest (including any trust account of which they are a
trustee or beneficiary and all accounts of a spouse, domestic partner or minor
child who lives with the employee) and to authorize their broker-dealers to
provide FINRA with duplicate statements for all of those accounts. All of
those accounts are subject to the Code’s investment and securities account
restrictions, and new employees must comply with those investment
restrictions—including disposing of any security issued by a company on
FINRA’s Prohibited Company List or obtaining a written waiver from their
Executive Vice President—by the date they begin employment with FINRA.
Employees may only maintain securities accounts that must be disclosed to
FINRA at one or more securities firms that provide an electronic feed (e-feed)
of data to FINRA, and must move securities accounts from other securities
firms to a firm that provides an e-feed within three months of beginning
employment.

modification and comply with the company’s policy on nepotism.
