Customized Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans
SEC Rule 10b5-1 protects officers and directors from insider trading liability under Rule 10b-5 for transactions under a previously established contract, plan or instruction. We offer customized 10b5-1 trading plans to officers and directors of our corporate clients. When constructed properly, Rule 10b5-1 plans provide a safe harbor from insider trading liability. Since their inception, these plans have become the most popular method for insiders to diversify (or accumulate) their holdings in company stock. Trades in the plan may occur during blackout periods, as long as certain criteria are met. We work with your legal team to design a plan that complies with your insider trading policy, as well as track and report all activity.

  • Customized or standard trading plans to effect a diversification strategy for corporate executives.
  • We structure 10b5-1 trading plans to achieve the financial goals of the executive.
  • Assistance with all regulatory requirements and filings.

  • Coordination of all 144 paperwork so that it is filed in a timely manner and communicate insider transactions to the company for Form 4 filings.
  • Assisting in the removal of the restrictive legend and coordinate with the issuer and legal counsel to obtain the legal opinion.
