Abstract:
Congress enacted Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) to address insider trading. Pursuant to Section 16(a), every person who owns more than ten percent of any class of equity security (other than an exempted security) which is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or who is a director or an officer of the issuer of such security (collectively “reporting persons”) are required to file statements disclosing their ownership of the issuer’s equity securities. The Commission adopted Form 4 (17 CFR 249.104) pursuant to Section 16. Form 4 requires disclosure of certain information about a reporting person and their beneficial ownership of the relevant class of securities. A reporting person must file a Form 4 before the end of the second business day following the day on which a transaction resulting in a change in beneficial ownership has been executed.
