Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

Rule 10b-18, Issuer Buy Back Rules

Occasionally, an issuer will need or want to buy back its own shares on the open market. These reasons are often similar to the reasons why an issuer may extend a tender offer – raising the share price or signaling to the market that the issuer believes its security is underpriced. Issuers that are repurchasing their securities could be accused of manipulating the market, because they may be buying their own securities in an attempt to raise the price of the security.

The SEC has created a safe harbor, Rule 10b-18, for issuers that want to repurchase their own securities for legitimate reasons. Thus, Rule 10b-18 protects an issuer and its affiliated purchasers from liability for manipulation as long as their transactions in a given day meet ALL of the following requirements:

• The transactions can only occur through one market maker
• The transaction cannot exceed 25% of the Average Daily Trading Volume (ADTV) in the security measured over the prior fou

I wanted to let you know I passed the exam [Series 24] this morning! The practice exams were invaluable. Thank you for your extra help and suggestions. I have recommended this to two of my co-workers who will be taking the Series 7 this year. I will say, the 24 was worded so tricky. And so much irrelevant info put into the questions. I had to write down pieces of the question to get the gist of what it was asking. Very purposfully confusing. But it's over and I'm thankful for your product. Thx again

Excited to say I passed the Series 24 the first time I sat for the exam. The course material and exam simulator were paramount in my preparation.

Even though there is no such thing as a guaranteed success in the securities industry, there is a likelihood of strong returns if you are able to make the right risk / reward choices at the right time.

If you are taking a test one of those choices is Solomon materials. Just follow their guidance. It worked for me, 3 times in a row, 7, 63, 24!

Eric Altmann, New York, NY

I was very impressed with all elements of Solomon's Series 24 offerings. Solomon provided an incredibly organized system for me to utilize, which kept me "on point" and focused. I felt good confidence going into the test because of the structured system that Solomon developed. I would certainly recommend Solomon to anyone that is taking the Series 24.

I had tried another learning system before Solomon and walked into the Series 24 unprepared and subsequently failed. After using the Solomon system for three weeks, taking full advantage of the app on my cell phone I walked into my second attempt very prepared for the type of questions I was going to see. Not only did I pass, I did so with confidence. Thanks so much Solomon!

Steven Eisner, Penn Mutual/HTK, Hauppauge, NY

I tried studying on my own using materials from another vendor, which was super wordy and lengthy. After much frustration, I looked for new study materials and discovered Solomon. It is concise, clear and presented well. The subject area quizzes and practice exams were unlimited and very helpful. Six weeks later I passed the Series 24 with an 85! I would not hesitate to use Solomon again, should the need arise.
