Rule 10b5-1 allows corporate insiders to adopt written, pre-arranged stock trading plans to buy or sell a specified number of shares of company stock. Insiders may adopt such plans when they are not in possession of material, inside information in order to gradually change their investment portfolio to minimize any market effect of stock sales or purchases by spreading them out over an extended period of time, and to avoid concerns about initiating stock transactions while in possession of material, non-public information. Transactions under these plans will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
