If the category assigned to you seems inappropriate, you may ask for a change of category, provided that you follow, depending on the cases, the procedures provided for by the regulations and, in any case, you are accepted by the entity that provides the service(s). If you wish, you may also request a change of category either generally or for financial instruments, investment services, or defined transactions subject to following the same procedures. This change request, which must be made in writing, would apply, provided that you meet the conditions, to the scope of your transactions carried out with SGSS. The category applicable to any transaction carried out before this correction would be the category indicated on the attached notification. Requests for a change of category or specific protections may be taken into consideration only insofar as they come from either a legal representative or a person duly mandated to this effect.
