VANCOUVER, Nov. 7, 2012 /CNW/ - A hearing has been scheduled before a
Hearing Panel of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of
Canada (IIROC), in the matter of Lawrence Bradley Chang.
The hearing concerns allegations that Mr. Chang executed discretionary
transactions in a client account with his client's consent, but without
the knowledge of his firm. It is also alleged that Mr. Chang made
other transactions in the same account without the client's consent or
knowledge and that he subsequently misrepresented the number of shares
of one security held in the account in order to hide those unauthorized
transactions.
The hearing is open to the public, unless the panel orders otherwise.
The decision of the Hearing Panel will be made available at www.iiroc.ca.

Specifically, the allegations are that:

From December 31, 2007 through March 28, 2008, Mr. Chang purchased a
combined total of approximately $498,160 of one security in a client
account without authorization from the client, contrary to IDA By-law
29.1.
|
|
c)
|
From January 2008 through May 2008, Mr. Chang, contrary to IDA By-law
29.1, made misrepresentations to a client regarding the number of
shares held in the client's account in order to hide the fact that he
had made unauthorized purchases of a security.

IIROC formally initiated the investigation into Mr. Chang's conduct in
January 2010. The alleged violations occurred when he was a Registered
Representative with the Vancouver branch of Canaccord Genuity Corp., an
IIROC-regulated firm. Mr. Chang is no longer a registrant with an
IIROC-regulated firm.
