how the SEC is likely to determine when information is material; |
|
(ii) |
when communications with a company's employees, competitors and suppliers cross the line separating research from insider trading; |
|
(iii) |
important compliance steps to take when utilizing experts; |
|
(iv) |
the difference between market rumor and material, nonpublic information; |
|
(v) |
the degree of protection offered by "Big Boy" letters; |
|

the obligations resulting from having a representative on an issuer's board of directors; and much more. |
The speakers will analyze these issues from different perspectives.
