about how the FinCEN Anti-Mon -
ey Laundering Rule affects your 
transaction and whether your 
transaction is reportable.
*The Rule is the subject of ongo -
ing litigation in several jurisdic -

your own legal counsel if you 
have questions about the status 
of the Rule and its applicability to

of the Security Deed, and (3) to 
confirmation that the successful
