G-42 Regulatory Disclosures

Pursuant to Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”) Rule G-42, Mohanty Gargiulo LLC is required to make certain written disclosures to its municipal advisory clients which include, amongst other things, information regarding conflicts of interest and any legal or disciplinary events of Mohanty Gargiulo LLC and its associated persons. Therefore, Mohanty Gargiulo LLC is making the following disclosures.

Conflicts of Interest

Mohanty Gargiulo LLC represents that in connection with the issuance of municipal financial product transactions, Mohanty Gargiulo LLC may receive compensation from a client for services rendered, which compensation is contingent upon the successful closing of a transaction and/or is based on the size of a transaction. Consistent with the requirements of MSRB Rule G-42, Mohanty Gargiulo LLC hereby discloses that such contingent and/or transactional compensation may present a potential conflict of interest regarding Mohanty Gargiulo LLC’s ability to provide unbiased advice because it could create an incentive for Mohanty Gargiulo LLC to advise its client to complete a financing or to alter the structure of a financing in order to ensure or increase its compensation. This conflict of interest is mitigated by our fiduciary duty to our municipal entity clients and by our duty of care for other municipal advisory clients.

If Mohanty Gargiulo LLC becomes aware of any additional potential or actual conflict of interest after this disclosure, Mohanty Gargiulo LLC will promptly update this disclosure.
