Disclosures

Sutter Securities, Inc. (“Sutter”) is committed to providing uninterrupted service and support to our clients and customers in the event of an emergency or significant disruption of normal business operations.

Sutter has a Tri-party clearing relationship with Lantern Investments Inc. and Pershing LLC on a fully disclosed basis.

Sutter’s business continuity plan is designed to protect client assets. However, it is impossible to anticipate every possible scenario that may result in an emergency or business interruption. Therefore, our plan is subject to change without notice. Any changes will be posted on our website as soon as possible.

The statements contained in this disclosure statement are for informational purposes only. Nothing in this statement constitutes a change in the terms and conditions of any customer agreement or other agreement.

Sutter Securities, Inc.’s (“Sutter”) principals have contributed significant capital to the firm. In addition, Sutter has access to additional capital, if required. A Tri-party clearing relationship has been established with Lantern Investments Inc. and Pershing, LLC which allows Sutter to clear all of its trades on a fully disclosed basis.

Pursuant to SEC Rule 11Ac1-6 we are providing this information to the public.

Under Rule 11Ac1-6, broker-dealers that route customer orders in equity and option securities will be required to make publicly available quarterly reports that, among other things, identify the venues to which customer orders are routed for execution. In addition, broker-dealers are required to disclose to customers, on request, the venues to which their individual orders were routed. By making visible the execution quality of the securities markets, the rules are intended to spur more vigorous competition among market participants to provide the best possible prices for investor orders.
