Explanation
Why C — An individual who represents a broker-dealer or issuer in effecting or attempting to effect purchases or sales of securities
Under USA Section 401(b), an agent is any individual, other than a broker-dealer, who represents a broker-dealer or issuer in effecting or attempting to effect purchases or sales of securities. The term applies only to natural persons (individuals), not to firms or entities. This version tests the same concept with a different fact pattern wrapper.
