MARGIN DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
New Age Venture Capital is furnishing this information to you to provide some basic facts about purchasing securities on margin, and to alert you to the risks involved with trading securities in a margin account. Before trading stocks in a margin account, you should carefully review the margin agreement we have provided you. Please consult your investment executive or the firm management regarding any question or concerns you may have with your margin account(s).
When you purchase securities, you may pay for the securities in full or you may borrow part of the purchase price from your brokerage firm. If you choose to borrow funds from your firm, you will open a margin account with the firm. The securities purchased are the firms collateral for the loan to you. If the securities in your account decline in value, so does the value of the collateral supporting your loan, and, as a result, the firm can take action, such as issue a margin call and/or sell securities in your account, in order to maintain the required equity in the account.
It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in trading securities on margin. These risks include the following: You can lose more funds than you deposit in the margin account. A decline in the value of securities that are purchased on margin may require you to provide additional funds to the firm that has made the loan to avoid the forced sale of those securities or other securities in your account.
The firm can force the sale of securities in your account. If the equity in your account falls below the maintenance margin requirement under the law, or the firm’s higher “house” requirements, the firm can sell the securities in your account to cover the margin deficiency. You will also be responsible for any shortfall in the account after such a sale.
The firm can sell your securities without contacting you. Some investors mistakenly believe that a firm must contact them for a margin call to be valid, and that the firm cannot liquidate securities in their accounts to meet the call unless the firm has contacted them first. This is not the case. Most firms will attempt to notify their customers of margin calls, but they are not required to do so. However, even if a firm has contacted a customer and provided a specific date by which the customer can meet a margin call, the firm can still take necessary steps to protect its financial interests, including immediately selling the securities without notice to the customer.
You are not entitled to choose which security in your margin account is liquidated or sold to meet a margin call. Because the securities are collateral for the margin loan, the firm has the right to decide which security to sell in order to protect its interests. The firm can increase its “house” maintenance margin requirements at any time and is not required to provide you with advance written notice. These changes in firm policy often take effect immediately and may result in the issuance of a maintenance margin call. Your failure to satisfy the call may cause the member to liquidate or sell securities in your account.
You are not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call. While an extension of time to meet margin requirements may be available to customers under certain conditions, a customer does not have a right to the extension.
TRADING HALTS / CIRCUIT-BREAKERS
Significant problems may arise when market-wide “circuit-breakers” halt trading on exchanges. Broker-dealers and their customers are confronted with trading halts, thereby obviating trading for a period of time. When “circuit-breakers” halt trading, we make every effort to post a timely notice on our website.
The SEC provided the following guidelines concerning order handling:
1. During market-wide trading halts resulting from the triggering of circuit-breakers, customer orders should be handled in the same manner as they would have been handled during other regulatory trading halts concerning only individual stocks.
2. During market-wide trading halts of durations that will allow trading to resume on that same trading day, pending and new customer orders should be forwarded to the appropriate market for execution upon the resumption of trading. This should be done unless the member receives contrary instructions from the customer during the halt.
3. During market-wide trading halts with durations that will close the market for the remainder of the trading day, pending and new customer orders should be treated as follows:
Absent customer instructions to the contrary, orders that are pending at the time of the halt, and new orders received after the halt has commenced, should be treated as “Good Till Cancelled” orders and be held by the member for execution at the reopening of the next trading session.
“At-the-Close” orders (including “Market-at-Close” orders) pending at the time trading is halted should be treated as cancelled orders. Members should not accept, or forward to a market, any new orders related to closing prices received during a trading halt.
TRADING / VOLATILITY / RISKS
** Recent events show that the way some stocks are traded is changing dramatically, and the change in trading methods may affect price volatility and cause increased trading volume. The price volatility and increased volume present new hazards to investors, regardless of whether trading occurs online or otherwise. Please be advised that market orders in highly volatile stocks may be subject to wide price variation and late reporting. Given this enormous volatility, the buy or sale execution price may vary widely from the quote reflected to you at the time of your order. You may wish to consider placing limit orders during these periods to help protect you against these fast and unpredictable variations in price. Quotes given on these issues are “subject quotes” and may not accurately reflect the current price as the market is changing so violently. If you do not fully understand the current market in any of these securities you are urged to call your broker for clarification. Please further note that if you have a margin account, these volatile stocks currently require 50% maintenance. Please check often with our Operations Department to determine if there are any changes to the margin requirement for any issues in your account.

SECURITIES INVESTOR PROTECTION CORP INSURANCE COVERAGE

The policy provides an additional $24.5 million per each client account with an aggregate limit of $100,000,000., above that provided by SIPC. Neither SIPC protection, nor the protection in excess of that provided by SIPC, covers a decline in the value of a customer’s assets due to market loss.
