Intellivest believes that during the time that the Former Registered Representative was affiliated with Intellivest, Church Impact, Inc. was allegedly engaged in certain securities related activities of a networking nature like the networking activities engaged in and supervised by Intellivest Securities, Inc. for its own account.   Because of the alleged involvement of the Former Registered Representative and other former registered representatives of Intellivest, Intellivest believes that the existence and activities of Church Impact, Inc. allegedly should have been disclosed to Intellivest in writing by, at least, the Former Registered Representative pursuant to FINRA rules but were not disclosed.
