John W. Theriot is submitting a waiver on behalf of Nicholas J. Lorusso and states the following: Mr. Theriot's firm was responsible for filing CF reports, and they have been filed on time for years. The late filing was due to administrative oversight and a misunderstanding of the filing requirement. Once the error was discovered, the report was promptly filed. They understand the importance of compliance, and since this incident, corrective measures have been implemented to prevent recurrence. They have also initiated a system to assign backup personnel to calendar due dates, ensuring that the responsible person adheres to all due dates. Your consideration of this matter is appreciated. Please waive the assessed late fee. Late Fee was paid 12/2/2025 same day request for waiver was submitted.
