You can download your consolidated 1099 information directly into TurboTax using the “Import from a Financial Institution” function that is incorporated into the Turbo Tax application. Please note that the associated OFX files are expected to be available the week of February 17th. If you executed more than 500 trades, but less than 2,200, you will need to use the desktop version of Turbo Tax as the online version only supports up to 500 transactions. If the total number of transactions is in excess of these limits, you will not be able to use Turbo Tax. To learn more about downloading your 1099 data directly into TurboTax, click the help section within TurboTax or visit https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1900963-importing-your-w-2-1099-and-1098-forms. |

Pursuant to SEC Rule 606, Apex is required to make publicly available a quarterly report with regard to its routing of non-directed orders. For the purpose of this Rule, we have entered into an agreement with Quantum5 Market Surveillance (a Division of S3 Matching Technologies) to disclose all required information pertaining to this rule. This information can be accessed on the internet at: http://public.s3.com/rule606/apex/. SEC Rule 606(b) requires a broker‐dealer to disclose to its customers, upon request, “the identity of the venue to which the customer’s orders were routed for execution in the six months prior to the request, whether the orders were directed orders or non‐directed orders, and the time of the transactions, if any, that resulted from such orders.” Pursuant to SEC Rule 607, Apex is required to disclose its payment for Order Flow practices. Apex sends certain equity orders to exchanges, electronic communication networks, or broker‐dealers during normal business hours and during extended trading sessions. Some of those market centers provide payments to Apex, or charge access fees depending upon the characteristics of the order and any subsequent execution. In addition, Apex may execute certain equity orders as principal. The details of these payments and fees are available upon written request. Apex receives payments for directing listed options order flow to certain option exchanges. Compensation is generally in the form of a per‐option contract cash payment. This disclosure only applies to orders directed to Apex by your firm. |

In our capacity as a clearing firm, we provide a variety of services to your broker including technological and operational support. To ensure business continuity in connection with the provision of such services, we have developed a Disaster Recovery Plan (D/R Plan). As an important part of our D/R Plan, we have established a remote, independent site which has the capacity to operate and maintain critical business processes in the event we cannot utilize our headquarters in Dallas, Texas for any reason. In addition, our D/R Plan contemplates restoration of critical business processes within twenty-four hours of the shutdown of our headquarters. You may access a copy of our D/R Plan by accessing the link titled “Business Continuity Plan” in the footer of our public website www.apexclearing.com. Please note that our D/R plan is subject to change at any time at our discretion. |

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") approved a supplement to the Options Disclosure Document ("ODD"). The recently approved supplement amends the ODD to accommodate adjustments for cash dividend and distribution for options overlying less than 100 shares. Among other things, the change will help to ensure that mini options are adjusted when the corresponding standard-sized options are adjusted. Specifically, the supplement would make clear that no adjustment will normally be made for any cash dividend or distribution that amounts to less than $0.125 per underlying share. In addition, for contracts originally listed with a unit of trading larger than 100 shares, the supplement will continue to provide that no adjustment normally would be made for any cash dividend or distribution that amounts to less than $12.50 per contract.
A copy of the supplement can be found by visiting's the OCC's website at:
