How can ECOS provide guidance and stay in compliance with FD?

The goal of Reg FD is to prevent selective disclosure. If a company wants to disclose, it must disclose to everyone. It can do so by issuing a public press release, or schedule a conference call open to everyone with adequate advanced notice.

The simplest model is to put your guidance or other information in an earnings release after the end of each quarter. You can then discuss that guidance on a conference call or in one-on-one discussions with shareholders so long as you don’t get into material information that goes beyond the published guidance. The SEC is encouraging companies to aim at putting more of the information in financial releases and to provide less detail in follow-up PRs.

This was exactly what MS did the last time and I expect the same thing with this 10-K.
