Key Terms
Rule 16b-3, 2022 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan, stock unit account
3 terms
Rule 16b-3 regulatory
"in an exempt transaction pursuant to Rule 16b-3."
Rule 16b-3 is a Securities and Exchange Commission regulation that exempts certain routine, pre-approved transactions by company insiders from automatic liability for short-term trading profits. It acts like a safe harbor: if an insider follows a formal plan or the board approves specific transactions in advance, profits from buying and selling company stock within six months are not automatically reclaimed. Investors care because the rule clarifies when insider trades are permissible and reduces uncertainty about potential clawbacks.
