Kelley and OSC staff reached an agreement to settle the proceeding against him. The Tribunal approved the settlement. Under the agreement, Kelley will pay an administrative penalty of $15,000. His participation in the capital markets is restricted, and he must cooperate with OSC staff in the ongoing proceeding against the other respondents.
