Pop: Most public companies currently have pre-established trading windows in which directors and officers are normally permitted to trade in the company's securities. The trading window would typically be closed from the end of each quarter until shortly after the earnings release. Officers and directors that trade outside of the window due so at their own peril of (i) violating the SEC's insider trading rules, and (ii) they would risk termination of employment if they violate their company's policy. Apparently NEOM does not have such a policy but that is only because no one wants to buy or sell.

If the officers and directors of NEOM truly wanted the ability to buy and sell NEOM stock, all they would have to do is establish what is known as a 10b5-1 plan. By adopting the 10b5-1 plan, the SEC is acknowledging that trading by insiders consistent with the "safe harbor" is proper and therefore should not constitute evidence of securities violations.

This is just one more example of NEOM and Marriott giving investors misleading information. Like I said yesterday, PPS is down 98.5% under Marriott and with that track record why would she want to buy a single share. The answer is that she doesn't and neither does any other officer or director of NEOM.

I hope that helps you better understand the concept of trading windows and why Marriott's response on the CC was disingenuous, as usual.
