All information disclosed will be based on Mesirow Financial clearing and order routing information.

Under SEC Rule 11Ac1-6, broker-dealers that route customer orders in equity and option securities are required to make publicly available quarterly reports that, among other things, identify the market centers to which they route customer orders for execution. In addition, broker-dealers are required to disclose to customers, on request, the market centers to which their individual orders were routed. Only the most significant market centers - the top ten and any others that received 5% or more of the broker-dealers' orders - must be disclosed. The rule requires one report divided into four sections. The sections are based on orders for New York Stock Exchange listed securities, other exchange listed securities, over-the-counter securities, and options. The disclosure only requires the information to be stated as percentages. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose the nature of the broker-dealers' relationship with those market centers reported, including the existence of any internalization or payment for order flow arrangements or profit-sharing relationship as it relates to the type of securities for that section.
