rocketeer357...public company, public records.... besides, CFO wouldn't have to release any names....just if it was a former director selling or not.... Probably doesn't want to say, especially if it was shares issued for services that got dumped.
Company's shareholder register
Inspecting the register By law anyone can inspect a company’s shareholder register that has names, addresses and the size of each person’s shareholding. But they can only contact you or send you material if it is relevant to your holding or to your rights as a shareholder.
This helps shareholders stay informed. Imagine there's takeover offer for your company. If management controlled access to the shareholder register then they could prevent another company from informing shareholders of the price they are willing to pay for their shares. Or imagine shareholders are unhappy with the current directors. Shareholders may want to write to each other to discuss issues related to the company, even if the current directors disapprove.
