Rule 10b5-1 Stock-Trading Plans: Experts To Reveal Key Guidance In myStockOptions.com Webinar On Oct. 20

Not all insider trading is intentional. Corporate insiders can inadvertently commit insider trading and get into serious trouble for buying or selling company stock even if the important confidential information they know did not influence their decision to trade. Because of this, many companies now require or strongly encourage their executives, directors, and key employees to set up Rule 10b5-1 trading plans for their company stock. A 10b5-1 plan is a prearranged stock-trading plan under SEC Rule 10b5-1 that provides a defense against charges of insider trading if you set it up when you do not know confidential, important information about your company, among other requirements.

myStockOptions.com, the leader in resources for stock options, restricted stock/RSUs and ESPPs, will hold a special webinar about 10b5-1 trading plans on October 20, 2021 (2pm–3:40pm ET, 11am–12:40pm PT). It will offer crucial guidance for corporate insiders and their financial advisors on fundamentals, best practices, and most effective designs for 10b5-1 plans. In 100 minutes, top legal and financial experts will present practical guidance and real-world case studies. Their insights and expertise apply to employees, executives, and directors at all types of companies.

“Advisors with executives, directors, and key insider employees need to know how to use 10b5-1 plans to maximize their clients’ assets while protecting them from insider-trading charges,” says webinar moderator Bruce Brumberg, the editor-in-chief of myStockOptions. “In this webinar, they can acquire that knowledge and also get a solid grounding in other key SEC requirements.”

myStockOptions.com also has a comprehensive website section on SEC law, including 10b5-1 plans and insider trading.
