These two fields are for informational purposes only. The dissemination flag indicates the bonds that are marked for dissemination (through the TRACE BTDS or ATDS feeds). The Rule 144A flag denotes bonds that are purchased and sold pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act, are book-entry securities that may be cleared and settled at DTCC.
