Robinhood’s Broker-Dealer Subsidiaries Release Reports Pursuant to SEC Rule 606(a) for the Second Quarter of 2022
Robinhood Markets, Inc. (“Robinhood” or the "Company") is furnishing as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto the Held NMS Stocks and Options Order Routing Public Reports (“606-Reports”) for the second quarter of 2022 for each of its broker-dealer subsidiaries, Robinhood Financial LLC (“RHF”) and Robinhood Securities, LLC (“RHS”).
As subsidiary reports, these 606-Reports do not present the Company’s consolidated results. These 606-Reports were prepared to comply with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 606(a) of Regulation National Market System (Reg. NMS) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which requires broker-dealers to make available specified quarterly reports regarding the routing of certain non-directed orders. As required by such rule and related regulatory guidance, the 606-Reports present some (but not necessarily all) of the payment for order flow (“PFOF”) received from venues to which orders were routed. (As disclosed on the 606-Reports, RHS shares the PFOF it receives with RHF pursuant to a revenue and cost allocation agreement.)
The 606-Reports are unaudited, made available without commentary, and should be read together with Robinhood’s most recent quarterly and annual consolidated results on Forms 10-Q and 10-K (as well as Robinhood’s other SEC filings), which are or will be available on the Financials tab of Robinhood’s Investor Relations website at investors.robinhood.com.
Robinhood also intends to use the “Overview” tab of its Investor Relations website and its blog, Under the Hood, as means of disclosing material information to the public in a broad, non-exclusionary manner for purposes of the SEC’s Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg. FD). The Overview page can be accessed at investors.robinhood.com/overview, and Under the Hood can be accessed at blog.robinhood.com; investors should routinely monitor those web pages, in addition to Robinhood’s press releases, SEC filings, and public conference calls and webcasts, as information posted on them could be deemed to be material information.
The information furnished with Item 2.02 and Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
