I have a question about the article - do you think that the CFO who just left possibly had to forfeit his shares? it says, “Insiders are given restricted stock after merger and acquisition activity, underwriting activity, and affiliate ownership in order to prevent premature selling that might adversely affect the company. An executive may have to forfeit restricted stock if he leaves the company, fails to meet corporate or personal performance goals, or runs afoul of SEC trading restrictions.”
I interpret this as being that the executives in the company if they failed to meet their requirements have to give back their shares? I’m a little unfamiliar with these restricted shares and their roles and finances so any interpretation of this law would be helpful :-)
