Reading have been fined £200,000 for breaching Football Association rules around agent regulations in 2019.
Charges of misconduct against three club employees and an agent relating to payments contingent on the future transfer of an unnamed player were found proven by an independent regulatory commission.
The club's former chief executive officer Nigel Howe has been fined £5,000 and suspended for 12 months - which includes "all football and football-related activity" in the second six months of the ban.
Agent Glen Tweneboah has been banned for six months, effective from 4 October 2024, and fined £15,000.
