Margin Disclosure Statement. E*TRADE Securities LLC is furnishing this statement 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 the Margin Disclosure Statement and the E*TRADE Securities
Customer Agreement. Contact E*TRADE Securities regarding any questions 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 firm’s
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, 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.
The firm can force the sale of securities in your account. If the equity in your account falls below the maintenance margin
requirements 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 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 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 firm to liquidate or sell securities in your account.
You are not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call. Although an extension of time to meet margin requirements may be
available to customers under certain conditions, a customer does not have a right to an extension.
I understand that my account, if approved, will be upgraded to a margin account. I acknowledge that securities held in my margin
account may be pledged, repledged, hypothecated, or rehypothecated for any amount due E*TRADE Securities in my account(s) or for
a greater amount which E*TRADE Securities, at its sole discretion, may deem necessary.
