Some time around April 23, 2026, the Firm received a written complaint by email from a client of the Firm’s Investment Advisor Representative (‘IAR’). The customer’s account was opened with the Firm on or about July 2025 and was subsequently funded by an in-kind transfer of a concentrated equity position in CRDO (the ‘Position’) on or about February 2026.\, \, The customer alleges that, at the time of transfer and again by text message on or about [date], he verbally instructed the RR to refrain from selling the Position and to hold it until it reached $200 per share, while permitting trading in other securities held in the account. Between [first sale date] and [last sale date], the RR executed a series of sales of the Position. The customer alleges those sales were unauthorized, contrary to his instructions, and caused losses and lost appreciation of approximately $500,000.\, \, The Firm acknowledged the complaint in writing on April 24, 2026, issued a Legal Hold the same day, and opened an internal investigation, which remains ongoing.\, \,
