3. BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN (“BCP”) DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Themis has developed a BCP on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our BCP.

Contacting Us – If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do via phone, Bloomberg, email, FIX connections, or instant messaging, you should call our emergency contact persons via their cell phones 201-787-9241 or 973-615-8880. If you cannot access us through either of those means, you should contact our clearing firm, Pershing LLC (“Pershing”, see contact information below). Themis is an introducing firm to Pershing on a fully disclosed basis. Themis or Pershing contacts will provide instructions on how it may provide order comparison, order allocation, and the maintenance of customer accounts, delivery of funds and securities, order execution, and access to customer accounts.

Our Business Continuity Plan – We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm’s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our BCP is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption.

Our business continuity plan addresses data backup and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counterparty impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business.

Our clearing firm, Pershing, has developed their own BCP in order to provide reasonable assurance of business continuity in the event that there are disruptions of normal operation at the firm’s critical facilities. As part of the plan, Pershing backs up its important Themis related records in a geographically separate area. While every emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption, we have been advised by our clearing firm that its objective is to restore its own operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new transactions and payments within as soon as practical. Your orders and requests for funds and securities could be delayed during this period that Pershing implements its business continuity plans.

Varying Disruptions – Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our firm, a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within one hour. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region such as a pandemic, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business within one business day. In either situation, we plan to continue in business, transfer operations to our clearing firm if necessary, and notify you through our customer emergency numbers provided in the “Contacting Us” section. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customer’s prompt access to their funds and securities.

4. ORDER ROUTING INFORMATION
Pursuant to SEC Rule 606, formerly Rule 11ac1-6, Themis provides its order routing information on the following website.
ORDER ROUTING INFORMATION

5. ORDER HANDLING DISCLOSURE
Themis is sending you this disclosure in order to confirm our understanding of the manner in which you want us to handle your equity orders. Themis is committed to seeking to obtain best execution when handling your orders. You have asked, unless you designate otherwise, that we handle orders you place with Themis on a “not held” basis. Your designation of an order as “not held” gives Themis the flexibility and discretion to act in your best interest by working your orders to obtain the best possible price. “Not held” orders are not subject to the SEC Order Handling Rules. Unless you indicate otherwise, this understanding applies regardless of the method you use to communicate your order including, but not limited to telephone, instant messenger (“IM”) or FIX transmission.

If you no longer wish to have your orders handled on a “not held” basis, please inform your Themis salesperson. If we do not hear from you within two weeks of the date of this letter, we will assume that your current arrangement is satisfactory. In addition, Themis recognizes that orders for institutional accounts generally involve best-effort commitments. Firms handling such orders can negotiate specific terms and conditions which permit the firm to trade alongside or ahead of an institutional order. Again, Themis’ first priority is to act in the best interests of our clients at all times and to seek best execution.

6. PAYMENT FOR ORDER FLOW
SEC Regulation NMS Rule 607 requires Themis to disclose its payment for order flow practices. In connection with this rule Themis does not receive any payment for order flow.

7. ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING
The USA Patriot Act (the “Act”) was established to detect, deter and punish terrorist acts in the US and world. The Act imposes anti-money laundering requirements on broker-dealers and other financial institutions. Under the Act’s provisions, all broker-dealers are required to have comprehensive anti-money laundering program with procedures and controls that include verification of the identification of new customers, reporting suspicious transactions, reporting certain currency/asset transfers, designation of a compliance officer, and conducting an independent audit of the program. All customer transactions conducted by Themis are subject to compliance with the Act.

8. SHORTS SALES
The SEC has adopted Regulation SHO covering short sale transactions. The rule establishes certain stock locate and close-out standards that are intended to prevent abusive naked short selling practices. The regulation also imposes short sale related circuit breakers. All customer transactions conducted by Themis are subject to compliance with this rule.

9. EXTENDED HOURS TRADING RISK DISCLOSURE
Themis executes extended hour trades (before 930AM and after 4PM) for its clients. Please be aware of the following additional risks during Pre-Market and Post-Market trading.
• Risk of Lower Liquidity - Liquidity refers to the ability of market participants to buy and sell securities. Generally, the more orders that are available in a market, the greater the liquidity. Liquidity is important because with greater liquidity it is easier for investors to buy or sell securities, and as a result, investors are more likely to pay or receive a competitive price for securities purchased or sold. There may be lower liquidity in extended hours trading as compared to regular market hours. As a result, your order may only be partially executed, or not at all.
• Risk of Higher Volatility - Volatility refers to the changes in price that securities undergo when trading. Generally, the higher the volatility of a security, the greater its price swings. There may be greater volatility in extended hours trading than in regular market hours. As a result, your order may only be partially executed, or not at all, or you may receive an inferior price in extended hours trading than you would during regular markets hours.
• Risk of Changing Prices - The prices of securities traded in extended hours trading may not reflect the prices either at the end of regular market hours, or upon the opening of the next morning. As a result, you may receive an inferior price in extended hours trading than you would during regular market hours.
• Risk of Unlinked Markets - Depending on the extended hours trading system or the time of day, the prices displayed on a particular extended hours system may not reflect the prices in other concurrently operating extended hours trading systems dealing in the same securities. Accordingly, you may receive an inferior price in one extended hours trading system than you would in another extended hours trading system.
• Risk of News Announcements - Normally, issuers make news announcements that may affect the price of their securities after regular market hours. Similarly, important financial information is frequently announced outside of regular market hours. In extended hours trading, these announcements may occur during trading, and if combined with lower liquidity and higher volatility, may cause an exaggerated and unsustainable effect on the price of a security.

10. PRIVACY POLICY NOTIFICATION (SEC Rule S-P)
Themis and its employees understand that privacy is an important issue for its customers. It is our policy to respect the privacy of all customers and accounts that we maintain as an introducing broker, and to protect the security and confidentiality of related non-public information. We also understand that this policy applies to current and former customers.
Personal/Private Information Collections - Themis introduces accounts on a fully disclosed basis to Themis’ clearing broker, Pershing LLC. In order to service introduced accounts and provide other financial services that customers have requested (e.g. commission sharing arrangements), Themis collects information and provides it to its clearing broker and other required parties. The information may come from the following sources:

• information received from customers, such as customer name, address, telephone number, social security number, tax ID number, occupation and income;
• information relating to trading and clearing in connection with customer transactions, including account balances, trade details, positions and allocations;
• information received from consumer reporting agencies, customer vendors and the government, such as credit bureau and other information relating to customer creditworthiness or reports obtained while conducting our AML obligations; and
• information received from other sources with customer consent or with the consent of customer clearing brokers.

Sharing of Nonpublic Information - Themis does not disclose non-public personal information relating to current or former customers to any third parties, except as required or permitted by law and in order to facilitate the clearing of customer transactions, records archiving, or other financial services requested by customers in the ordinary course of business.
Security - Themis strives to ensure that our systems are secure and that they meet industry standards. We protect personal information by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that either meet or exceed applicable law. Where appropriate, we employ firewalls, encryption technology, user authentication systems (i.e. passwords and personal identification numbers) and access control mechanisms to control access to systems and data. Third parties who have access to such personal information must also agree to follow appropriate standards of security and confidentiality.
Opt-out Policy - If you prefer that we do not share your information (other than as prescribed by law) with non-affiliated third parties, you may contact our Compliance Department at 973-665-9600 or pzajac@ThemisTrading.com.

11. LARGE TRADER RULE
In accordance with Securities Exchange Act Rule 13h-1 market participants that conduct a substantial amount of trading activity are required to file Form 13H in order to identify themselves as a “large trader” to the SEC. The SEC assigns a large trader identification number that must be provide to the participants registered broker-dealers. Broker-dealers are then required to maintain records, including large trader transaction times, which may be required upon the request of the SEC. The Rule became effective on October 3, 2011 with various phase-ins over the next year.

12. INTERNET SECURITY
