Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest and Legal or Disciplinary Events

Pursuant to Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”) Rule G-42, on Duties of Non-Solicitor Municipal Advisors, Municipal Advisors are required to make certain written disclosures to clients which include, amongst other things, Conflicts of Interest and any Legal or Disciplinary events of Masterson Advisors LLC and its associated persons.

 

Conflicts of Interest

Masterson Advisors LLC represents that in connection with the issuance of municipal securities, Masterson Advisors LLC may receive compensation from an Issuer or Obligated Person for services rendered, which compensation is contingent upon the successful closing of a transaction and/or is based on the size of a transaction. Consistent with the requirements of MSRB Rule G-42, Masterson Advisors LLC hereby discloses that such contingent and/or transactional compensation may present a potential conflict of interest regarding Masterson Advisors LLC’s ability to provide unbiased advice to enter into such transaction. This conflict of interest will not impair Masterson Advisors LLC’s ability to render unbiased and competent advice or to fulfill its fiduciary duty to the Issuer.

If Masterson Advisors LLC becomes aware of any additional potential or actual conflict of interest after this disclosure, Masterson Advisors LLC will disclose the detailed information in writing to the Issuer in a timely manner.

Other Municipal Advisor Relationships:  Masterson Advisors LLC serves a wide variety of other clients that may from time to time have interests that could have a direct or indirect impact on the interests of another Masterson Advisors LLC client. For example, Masterson Advisors LLC serves as municipal advisor to other municipal advisory clients and, in such cases, depending on the client, owes either a fiduciary duty or a duty of care to such other clients just as it does to any of its future clients. These other clients may, from time to time and depending on the specific circumstances, have competing interests. In acting in the interests of its various clients, Masterson Advisors LLC could potentially face a conflict of interest arising from these competing client interests. Masterson Advisors LLC fulfills its regulatory duty and mitigates such conflicts through dealing honestly and with the utmost good faith with all of its clients.
