UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Before the SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Release No. 38855 / July 21, 1997 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING File No. 3-9054 ___________________________________ : In the Matter of : ORDER AMENDING APPENDIX A : TO ORDER INSTITUTING REFCO SECURITIES, INC. : PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIVE : PROCEEDING, MAKING Respondent. : FINDINGS, IMPOSING : REMEDIAL SANCTIONS AND : ISSUING CEASE-AND-DESIST : ORDER ___________________________________: On August 6, 1996, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") instituted public administrative proceedings against Refco Securities, Inc. ("RSI") and accepted RSI's Offer of Settlement pursuant to the Order Instituting Public Administrative Proceeding, Making Findings, Imposing Remedial Sanctions and Issuing Cease-and-Desist Order, SEA Release No. 37531 (August 6, 1996) (the "Order"). Pursuant to its undertakings in the Order, RSI has submitted to the Commission, for its approval, a Plan of Distribution ("Plan") for payment of $3,250,000 to the defrauded clients of Steven D. Wymer ("Wymer"). The Order provides that "[t]he Participating Client's Share of Distribution shall be reduced by the amount of any prior settlement with RSI of any claim relating to Wymer's fraudulent conduct. Such amounts deducted from the Participating Client's Share of Distribution shall be distributed, pro rata, to those Participating Clients who have not settled with RSI." (Appendix A, Section III). In connection with the implementation of the Plan, the Division of Enforcement has requested the Commission to modify the Order by deleting this language, and RSI has agreed to this modification. One Participating Client reached a prior settlement with RSI. The Plan, as amended, does not reduce this Participating Client's Share of Distribution because the Participating Client settled its Wymer-related claims with RSI based on an understanding that the Participating Client would receive a full Share of Distribution from the Plan. The Commission has determined that it is appropriate to delete the above-quoted provision from the Order. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Plan of Distribution is APPROVED. The Order is modified to conform to the Plan of Distribution by deleting the first two sentences of Section III of Appendix A. By the Commission. Jonathan G. Katz Secretary ======END OF PAGE 2======
