Responding to an SEC Trading Suspension

SEC trading suspensions are valid tactics used by the Commission when there is a public interest concern over either a lack of information or the presence of new information that needs to be verified.

The proper response in either case is to make sure that the Issuer’s filings and press releases are current and accurate. If a mistake was made, the Issuer should file an Amendment immediately. Once the filings and news releases are current and accurate, then the next job for the Issuer’s securities counsel is to compile and present documentation which supports the statements made in the filings or news releases which caused the concern.

Public companies which post accurate new releases that state verifiable facts and avoid hyperbole should be able to produce supporting documentation within the 10 day SEC trading suspension, and after review by the SEC, the matter should end there.

While it is often true that an SEC review and response to such documentation could take longer than 10 days, and that a new 15c-211 filing may be inevitable, it is the Issuer’s responsibility to cooperate and assist the SEC in their investigation. The sooner an Issuer provides documentation to the SEC, the sooner the trading suspension can be lifted.
