Even if a ticker symbol is for a company that has a direct role or participation in the news, Marketwire may require removal of a ticker symbol if it cannot be verified that the Client has permission from the company whose ticker symbol is being used. Client may not include ticker symbols from Client's competitors. In no case may more than four (4) ticker symbols be used in a given release.

At its sole discretion, Marketwire will only distribute more than one release on the same lawsuit if there has been a meaningful development that is deemed newsworthy. In addition, Client may only mention one lawsuit per release. It is strongly recommended that the Client use the name of the company(ies) involved in the litigation in the headline.

2.4. Investment Opinions. Investment Opinion releases must contain at the top of the release a "Note to Editors" warning indicating that the release is an Investment Opinion. The release also must have a disclaimer at the bottom of the release disclosing any financial relationship that may exist between the issuer of the release and the company whose stock is mentioned in the release.

If these releases are sent in without adequate lead time, then there may be delays while the release is being processed.

2.6. Word Counts.For purposes of determining the word count of a release for pricing, the document word count will be calculated after the document has been formatted, including, if necessary translation, and all tables and other add-ons have been inserted.
