Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the nature of the information
Recognize that information regarding an issuer that is nonpublic and significant enough to affect investor decisions constitutes Material Nonpublic Information (MNPI).
Trading or tipping while in possession of MNPI violates Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5.
2
Determine the required regulatory response for registered personnel
The representative must refrain from executing trades in the security and must refrain from communicating the information to clients or colleagues.
Executing trades or tipping others creates severe civil and criminal liability for insider trading.
3
Determine firm reporting procedures
Immediately notify the supervisor or compliance department.
Compliance must place the security on the firm's restricted or watch list to safeguard the firm and prevent statutory violations.
