1. Customer Identification Program Notice
   

Important Information You Need to Know about Opening a New Account

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

This notice answers some questions about your firm's Customer Identification Program.

What types of information will I need to provide?

When you open an account, your firm is required to collect the following information:

• Name

A corporation, partnership, trust or other legal entity may need to provide other information, such as its principal place of business, local office, employer identification number, certified articles of incorporation, government-issued business license, a partnership agreement or a trust agreement.

U.S. Department of the Treasury, Securities and Exchange Commission, and FINRA rules already require you to provide most of this information. These rules also may require you to provide additional information, such as your net worth, annual income, occupation, employment information, investment experience and objectives and risk tolerance.

1. Regulation E
   

Regulation E of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System requires disclosure regarding electronic transfers. Electronic transfers include:

• Authorized Debits—A client provides their checking account information to a company (such as mortgage, utility) and the company electronically sends debits directly to the client’s checking account, which debits the brokerage account
  
• Debit Card Transactions—Any merchant purchase, automatic teller machine (ATM) withdrawal or cash advance done with the debit card issued from the account
  
• Check conversion — A client provides checks for deposit into their Apex accounts which Apex scans and converts them into either an image replacement document (IRD) or ACH file.
  
• Questions concerning electronic transfers may be directed to your introducing broker.
  

1. Callable Securities
   

Once a security is deemed callable (callable security) by the issuer, DTC or the custodian will notify Apex of the call and we will implement a random lottery call process, based on client account eligibility. Eligibility for the random lottery process is based on the securities call classification of ‘favorable redemption call’ or ‘unfavorable redemption call’. The term favorable or unfavorable is based on a comparison between the call price and the market price. When the comparison between the call price and market price are beneficial to the client, the call is deemed favorable. Favorable redemption calls will exclude any account in which Apex or its associated persons have an interest until all other customers' positions in such securities have been satisfied.

An unfavorable redemption call is when the comparison between the call price and market price are not as beneficial to the client and therefore deemed unfavorable. Apex will not exclude its positions or those of its associated persons (including those persons performing solely clerical and ministerial functions) from the pool of any securities deemed unfavorable and eligible to be called.

A determination will be made as to which redemption call the security is subject to (favorable or unfavorable) prior to commencement of the lottery process.

Once the terms of the call have been determined and eligible accounts have been selected, the random lottery process will occur to select accounts for the partial call redemption. A random start and jump number is executed at the beginning of the lottery to ensure the process is impartial, fair and consistent with the call allocation. When the redemption call has ended for each security, the carrying broker is notified of the called account by its vendor and will inform the introducing broker who will notify the customer of the account status.
