If the reporting company has a principal place of business in the United States or U.S. Territory, the street address should be that of the principal place of business. Otherwise, the street address should be the primary location in the United States or U.S. Territory where the reporting company conducts business. If a U.S. Territory is selected in item 13, then item 14 is automatically populated with the relevant U.S. Territory.

Part II. Company Applicant Information

Company applicant information is entered in fields 18 through 33 of the BOIR. Company applicants are individuals; no companies or legal entities may be reported as company applicants. Reporting companies may also provide FinCEN Identifiers for company applicants instead of this information. See detailed description below. Use the “Add Company Applicant” or “Remove Company Applicant” keys at the top of this section to add or remove additional company applicants. No more than two company applicants should be reported. If existing reporting company was checked in item 16, company applicant information is not required; proceed to Part III.

Part III. Beneficial Owner Information

Beneficial owner information is entered in fields 35 through 51 of the BOIR. Reporting companies may also report a FinCEN Identifier for a beneficial owner instead of this information. See detailed description below. Use the “Add Beneficial Owner” or “Remove Beneficial Owner” keys at the top of this section to add or remove additional beneficial owners. There is no limit on the number of beneficial owners that may be reported.
