5 terms
Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory
"These transactions were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan previously adopted"
A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by his spouse except to the extent of his pecuniary interest"
beneficial owner financial
"The reporting person, Ms. Ting Shu and their family members are deemed to be beneficial owners"
A beneficial owner is the person who ultimately owns or controls a financial asset or property, even if their name isn't directly on official documents. Think of it like someone who secretly holds the keys to a safe deposit box—others may appear to have access, but the true owner is the one who benefits from what's inside. Identifying beneficial owners helps ensure transparency and prevent illegal activities like money laundering or fraud.
