CISO Global files SEC no-action request for investor-consent share lending program
CISO Global, Inc.
- Program requires beneficial owners to affirmatively opt in before their shares can be lent; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
- Request seeks SEC Staff confirmation of no enforcement action under Rule 17Ad-20 for adopting the consent framework.
- Company cites review of short-volume data, late-2025 fails-to-deliver, and shareholder-record discrepancies.
- Nick Morgan and Mark Hiraide of Investor Choice Advocates Network (ICAN) are representing CISO pro bono.
- No assurance that SEC Staff will grant relief; program would operate through existing intermediary relationships.
