Securities-Based Lending Important Information

Loans collateralized by securities may not be appropriate for all parties and carry a number of risks, including the risk of a market downturn, tax implications if pledged securities are liquidated, and the potential fluctuation in interest rates. If the value of pledged securities declines below certain levels, the client (with assistance from their advisor) may be required to pledge additional collateral, rebalance existing collateral through trading, or pay down the loan to avoid the forced sale of securities to meet collateral maintenance requirements. Subject to applicable law, pledged securities may be sold with or without advance notice to the client to cover the deficiency at the bank’s sole discretion. Clients should understand the possible adverse tax consequences associated with the sale or pledge of their securities when considering whether a securities-based loan is appropriate for them.

Collateral Based Lending Important Information

Loans collateralized by a direct or indirect interest in real property may not be appropriate for all parties and can carry a number of risks, including the risk of loss of some, all, or substantially all value of the pledged collateral. If the marketable value of the underlying pledged asset falls below a certain level, the Borrower may be required to pledge additional collateral or pay down part of the loan prematurely. Client should understand the possible potential adverse tax consequences when considering whether a collateral based loan is appropriate for them.
