Seattle, Washington Securities False and Misleading Statement Attorney

National Securities Corporation (NSC) located in Seattle, Washington submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) to the Department of Enforcement of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for allegedly failing to disclose to investors the compensation they had received. NSC has been registered with FINRA since 1947 and provides retail brokerage, investment banking and investment advisory services. NSC is alleged by FINRA to have offered two private placements of its parent company National Holdings Corporation (National Holdings). Although NSC generally disclosed to investors that it would receive compensation in connection with private placement sales, FINRA determined that NSC did not disclose, in writing, the compensation it would receive for each private placement, thereby violating FINRA Rules 5122 and 2010. Without admitting or denying the findings, NSC consented to the FINRA sanctions. FINRA claimed that NSC provided investors with the two offerings with the Registration Rights Agreement, SPA, non-disclosure agreement, and various other documents that did not include compensation it would receive in connection with each offering. The NSC sales escalated approximately $12 million for the two offerings. NSC received $212,291 and 100,090 restricted shares of National Holdings for the first offering and $158,750 for the second offering. FINRA Rule 5122 requires a member firm engaging in a private placement of its own securities to disclose, in writing, any paid compensation. Due to the alleged violations, National Securities Corporation was censured and fined $20,000. Do You Need an Attorney for a Failure to Disclose Securities Matter?
