Calling All Corporate Secretaries! Your Golden Ticket Is Here!
John & I had a lot of fun taping our 6th “news-like” podcast. This 8-minute podcast is about the director who was insider trading during a board meeting, placing an order for the target company’s stock when the deal was not yet announced! We also discuss the SEC’s “links to exhibits” proposal.
For those in charge of managing the board, this podcast explains how this SEC enforcement case is your “Golden Ticket”! You want to be aware of this case because it’s a great hook to get the attention of your directors when you’re reminding them of their insider trading & Section 16 obligations. Shucks, it may even help you when you ask for a raise! I highly encourage you to listen to these podcasts when you take a walk, commute to work, etc.
This podcast is also posted as part of our “Big Legal Minds” podcast series. Remember that these podcasts are also available on iTunes or Google Play (use the “My Podcasts” app on your iPhone and search for “Big Legal Minds”; you can subscribe to the feed so that any new podcast automatically downloads…
