EXTENSION ORDER

The Division of Enforcement (“Division”) has requested an extension of time until 

September 15, 2017 to submit a Proposed Plan of Distribution under Rule 1101(a) of the 

Commission’s Rules on Fair Fund and Disgorgement Plans, 17 C.F.R. § 201.1101(a).

On January 18, 2017, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist 

Proceedings Pursuant to Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making 

Findings, and Imposing Cease-and-Desist Orders and Remedies (“Order”)1against Brian 

McCollum (“McCollum”). The Order required McCollum to pay a $35,000.00 civil money 

penalty. The Order also created a fair fund, pursuant to Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley 

Act of 2002, as amended, so the penalties could be distributed to harmed investors (the “Fair 

Fund”). The Order further provided that the Fair Fund could be added or combined with the 

fair fund established In the Matter of Orthofix International, N.V. (“Orthofix Matter”)2and/or 

added to or combined with fair funds established for the civil penalties paid by other 

respondents for conduct arising in relation to the violative conduct described in the Order or

the Orthofix Matter, in order for the combined fair funds to be distributed to harmed investors 

affected by the same violative conduct.

McCollum has paid $35,000.00 as ordered into the Fair Fund, and monies paid in the 

Orthofix Matter and two other related cases3 will be combined with the fair fund in the 

Orthofix Matter, for a total of $8,370,000.00, for distribution to harmed investors.

In its request for an extension of time, the Division states that it is in the process of 

selecting a fund administrator to develop a proposed plan of distribution. The Division 

requires additional time to complete the fund administrator appointment process.

Accordingly, for good cause shown, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Division’s 

request for an extension of time until September 15, 2017 to submit a Proposed Plan of 

Distribution is granted.

For the Commission, by its Secretary, pursuant to delegated authority.
