D.H. Hill Securities Sanctioned for Private Placement Sales

FINRA Censures & Fines D. H. Hill Securities

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on July 22, the regulator has censured and fined D. H. Hill Securities $25,000 for rules violations in connection with private placement investment offerings.
According to FINRA’s findings, between August 2015 and December 2019, D.H. Hill reportedly sold interests in eight private placement offerings, each of which claimed exemption from registration pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. During this period, D.H. Hill allegedly solicited 16 separate individuals to invest approximately $1.1 million in those offerings. However, D.H. Hill purportedly began participating in each offering well before the firm created a substantive relationship with any of these 16 individuals.

The firm purportedly participated in those offerings by engaging in steps necessary to the distribution of securities, including but not limited to: conducting due diligence on the offerings; communicating with prospective investors; selling interests inthe offerings; and executing placement agent agreements.

As a result, each of those sales allegedly constituted an unregistered distribution of securities in violation of FINRA Rule 2010.

The firm reportedly submitted a Corrective Action Statement to FINRA on July 14, 2021.
