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.

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.
