Author Description

Mitigate your reputation risk by assuring disclosures for corporate communication vehicles such as press releases, speeches, analyst conference calls, webcasts, websites, blogs and investor roadshows adhere to appropriate standards of practice. Written by Wolters Kluwer attorney-editors Jim Hamilton, Anne Sherry and Doreen Meinck, Informal Corporate Disclosure Under Federal Securities Law, 2014 Edition examines the regulation of these types of informal disclosures - as distinguished from formal, highly structured disclosure in SEC filings. Coverage includes discussion of federal securities law, rules and court decisions; self-regulatory organization rules for listed companies, and standards of practice prescribed by the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI). The 2014 Edition discusses the SEC s broad, new, comprehensive and holistic review of the agency s entire disclosure regime, including formal and informal disclosure, with specific areas such as forward-looking statements. The 2014 edition also contains an update of Dodd-Frank comply-or-explain provisions. In addition to incorporating these standards of practice, the 2014 Edition also discusses industry insights into how Regulation FD relates to shareholder engagement and insider trading enforcement.
