  • SEC: Commission Statement Relating To Certain Administrative Adjudications

    Date 05/04/2022

    The Commission has identified a control deficiency related to the separation of its enforcement and adjudicatory functions within its system for administrative adjudications.  When this deficiency was identified, the Chair immediately notified the other Commissioners and directed the staff to undertake remedial measures and commence a comprehensive internal review to assess the scope and potential impact of the issue.  We are now releasing the findings of that review as it relates to two adjudicatory matters currently in litigation in federal court.  In both matters, the review found that agency enforcement staff had access to certain adjudicatory memoranda, but that this access did not impact the actions taken by the staff investigating and prosecuting the cases or the Commission’s decision-making in the matters.

  • Statement On In the Matter of Lloyd D. Reed, Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, April 5, 2022

    Date 05/04/2022

    The Commission’s Order finds that Lloyd D. Reed violated Exchange Act Section 10(b) and its accompanying Rule 10b-5 “by trading on material, non-public information [of Torotel, Inc.] in breach of his duty of trust and confidence owed to his business partner (“Business Partner”), who was also a Torotel director and family member.” In other words, the case is based on the misappropriation theory of insider trading: Reed’s Business Partner shared with him material, non-public information about Torotel with the expectation that Reed would keep that information confidential, and Reed misappropriated that information by trading on it in breach of his duty to his Business Partner to keep the information confidential. The Order’s next line, however, states: “Reed purchased Torotel stock in July and August 2019 based on information Business Partner gave him about Torotel’s plans to seek a business combination and after observing Business Partner’s increased activities with Torotel.” (emphasis added). Undoubtedly, that a company is considering a business combination generally would constitute material, non-public information about that company. But when and how one’s observations of what someone else is doing for a company constitute material, non-public information about the company is considerably less clear.
