U4 / U5 when switching from IB to PE?

Hi guys -

I have a few questions regarding U4 / U5 as the web doesn't return any good info on it.

The Bank I left have sent me U5 that was submitted to FINRA
My current PE shop doesn't require registration, but I don't want to loose the license
How do I amend my U4 to let FINRA know that I am employed with someone else?

Thanks!

“Rachel helped me through the very beginning and we had several iterations that were crucial to the development of a better and great CV for applications. I appreciate her patience and puntual feedback every single time. Also the response time was very short and kept me aware of any delay. It kept me on line for what I had to do and some areas to focus that I didn't knowe before, and some of them honestly I didn't have any idea. Very well all around work”

“Julius was extremely helpful in breaking down the accounting concepts, especially allowing me the opportunity to walk through a question step by step on how the three financial statements are impacted across income, cash flow and balance sheet along with figuring out the mental math for it all. The concept for Equity Value to Enterprise value and bridging between the two were fairly straight forward. Along with the networking advice on reaching out to potential recruiters for Investment banking roles and how lateral recruitement is happening year end vs going into Q1 next year.”
