Commission Announcements

Agencies Seek Comment on Proposed Rule on Incentive Compensation

Federal financial regulatory agencies request public comment on a joint proposed rule to ensure that regulated financial institutions design their incentive compensation arrangements to take account of risk.

The proposed rule, which is being issued pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, would apply to certain financial institutions with more than $1 billion in assets. It also contains heightened standards for the largest of these institutions.

In prohibiting incentive compensation arrangements that could encourage inappropriate risks, the proposal would require compensation practices at regulated financial institutions to be consistent with three key principles--that incentive compensation arrangements should appropriately balance risk and financial rewards, be compatible with effective controls and risk management, and be supported by strong corporate governance. The proposed rule complements guidance previously issued by the agencies, including guidance on sound incentive compensation policies issued by the banking agencies last year.

The agencies are proposing that financial institutions with $1 billion or more in assets be required to have policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the requirements of the rule, and submit an annual report to their federal regulator describing the structure of their incentive compensation arrangements. The agencies are proposing that larger financial institutions, generally those with $50 billion or more in assets, defer at least 50 percent of the incentive compensation of certain officers for at least three years and that the amounts ultimately paid reflect losses or other aspects of performance over time. For purposes of credit unions, large financial institutions would be defined as those with $10 billion or more in assets. The FHFA proposed that the income-deferral provisions apply to all entities it regulates, regardless of size.

The agencies request public comments on the proposed rule within 45 days of its publication in the Federal Register, which is expected soon. (Press Rel. 2011-77)

SEC Proposes Rules Requiring Listing Standards for Compensation Committees and Compensation Consultants

The Securities and Exchange Commission today voted unanimously to propose rules directing the national securities exchanges to adopt certain listing standards related to the compensation committee of a company’s board of directors as well as its compensation advisers, as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

The SEC’s proposal also would require new disclosures from companies concerning their use of compensation consultants and conflicts of interest. 

In particular, the proposal requires the “listing standards” to address the independence of the members on a compensation committee, the committee’s authority to retain compensation advisers, and the committee’s responsibility for the appointment, payment and work of any compensation adviser. 

Once an exchange’s new listing standards are in effect, a listed company must meet these standards in order for its shares to continue trading on that exchange.  

Public comments on the rule proposal should be received by April 29, 2011. (Press Rel. 2011-78)

Enforcement Proceedings

In the Matter of Accesstel, Inc.

An Administrative Law Judge has issued an Order Making Findings and Revoking Registrations by Default (Default Order) in Accesstel, Inc., Admin. Proc. No. 3-14287. The Order Instituting Proceedings alleged that Respondents repeatedly failed to file required annual and quarterly reports while their securities were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Default Order finds these allegations to be true and revokes the registrations of each class of registered securities of Accesstel, Inc., American Asset Management Corp., DME Interactive Holdings, Inc., DocuPort, Inc., and iCarbon Corp., pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. (Rel. 34-64146; File No. 3-14287)

Commission Revokes Registration of Securities of Eurogas, Inc. for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

On March 30, 2011, the Commission revoked the registration of each class of registered securities of Eurogas, Inc. (EUGS) for failure to make required periodic filings with the Commission.

Without admitting or denying the findings in the Order, except as to jurisdiction, which it admitted, EUGS consented to the entry of an Order Making Findings and Revoking Registration of Securities Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as to Eurogas, Inc. finding that it had failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder and revoking the registration of each class of EUGS’s securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. This Order settled the charges brought against EUGS in In the Matter of AdAl Group, Inc., et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14289.

Brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that Exchange Act Section 12(j) provides, in pertinent part, as follows:

No member of a national securities exchange, broker, or dealer shall make use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce to effect any transaction in, or to induce the purchase or sale of, any security the registration of which has been and is suspended or revoked . . . .

For further information see Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings and Notice of Hearing Pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, In the Matter of AdAl Group, Inc., et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14289, Exchange Act Release No. 64063 (March 9, 2011). (Rel. 34-64147; File No. 3-14289)

In the Matter of Isaac I. Ovid

On March 30, 2011, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions (Order) against Isaac I. Ovid (Ovid). The Order finds that Ovid was the Chief Executive Officer of Jadis Capital, Inc. (Jadis Capital), a New York corporation. Jadis Capital was the sole owner of Jadis Investments, LLC (Jadis Investments), a Delaware limited liability company and Uniondale, Long Island-based investment adviser registered with the Commission.

The Order further finds that Ovid pled guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud, in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 371 before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. On August 30, 2010, a judgment was entered against Ovid. He was sentenced to a prison term of 60 months followed by three years of supervised release and ordered to make restitution in the amount of $12,334,614.41.

Based on the above, the Order bars Ovid from association with any investment adviser. Ovid consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any of the findings in the Order, except for the Commission’s jurisdiction over him and the subject matter of the proceedings and his criminal conviction, which he admitted. (Rel. IA-3182; File No. 3-14313)

Court Enters Final Judgments By Consent Against Two Defendants in Fraudulent Bond Funding Scheme

On March 28, 2011, the Honorable Nancy F. Atlas of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas entered two final judgments in a civil action involving Navigators International Management Co., Ltd., a Bahamian corporation. Navigators, without admitting or denying the Commission's allegations, consented to entry of a Final Judgment that (i) enjoins it from violating Sections 5 and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and (ii) finds the corporation liable for payment of $45,000 under Securities Act Section 20(d) and Exchange Act Section 21(d)(3). James R. Spurger, the company's former president, without admitting or denying the Commission's allegations, consented to entry of a Final Judgment that (i) enjoins him from violating Securities Act Sections 5 and 17(a), and Exchange Act Sections 10(b) and 15(a), and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and (ii) finds him liable for payment of $25,000 under Securities Act Section 20(d) and Exchange Act Section 21(d)(3).

According to the Commission's complaint, Navigators, its officers, and persons acting on their behalf, solicited investors to participate in an unregistered and fraudulent bond funding program. Investors were promised returns of 67% or more and were assured that their principal was safe and collateralized. The complaint alleged that investors' funds were not safe and collateralized and that none of the investors received a return of principal or payment of the promised profits.

The litigation against Benjamin R. Young, the remaining defendant named in the complaint, is continuing. [SEC v. Navigators International Management Co., Ltd., James R. Spurger and Benjamin W. Young, Jr., Case No.07-cv-04518 (S.D. Texas)] (LR-21908)

SEC Obtains Permanent Injunction Against Tennessee Investment Adviser

The Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) announced today that the Honorable Thomas W. Phillips, United States District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Tennessee, entered a judgment against LandOak Securities, LLC (LandOak Securities) and Patrick L. Martin (Martin). The judgment restrained and enjoined LandOak Securities and Martin from future violations of Sections 204, 206(1),(2) and(4), and 207 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act) [15 U.S.C. §§ 80b-4, b-6(1), (2) & (4), and 80b-7] and Rule 206(4)-2 and 204-2 thereunder [17 C.F.R. §§ 275.206(4)-2 and 275.204-2]. LandOak Securities and Martin also were ordered to pay disgorgement in the amount of $880,512.16, plus prejudgment interest thereon in the amount of $111,628.38. The judgment further provides that if the parties cannot agree on whether a civil penalty should be imposed or the amount of any such civil penalty, the Commission may file a motion requesting that the Court determine the civil penalty and for purposes of that motion, the allegations of the Commission’s Complaint shall be deemed true. LandOak Securities and Martin consented to the entry of the order without admitting or denying the allegations of the Commission’s Complaint.

The Complaint, filed on May 22, 2008, alleged that between July 1997 and July 1998, Martin and his co-defendant Michael A. Atkins (Atkins) offered and sold to investors approximately $3.6 million in promissory notes and membership interests in LandOak Mortgage, LLC (LandOak Mortgage), a Tennessee entity they founded and controlled. According to the Complaint, thirteen of the approximately thirty-five investors in LandOak Mortgage were also LandOak Securities advisory clients, who together invested a total of $1.8 million in LandOak Mortgage. As represented to investors at the time of the offering, LandOak Mortgage loaned the raised funds to LandOak Development, LLC (LandOak Development), another Tennessee entity partly owned by Martin and Atkins. According to the Complaint, LandOak Development used the funds to purchase and develop commercial property, but when LandOak Development repaid those funds, Martin and Atkins misappropriated over $2.8 million of funds due to LandOak Mortgage investors. In July 2002, Martin and Atkins misappropriated over $1.5 million from LandOak Mortgage’s bank account and diverted the funds to Atmospheric Glow Technologies, Inc., a public company in which each owned a substantial interest and were both members of its board of directors. Further, the Complaint alleged that Martin and LandOak Securities made false statements in LandOak Securities’ Commission filings and failed to maintain certain required advisory books and records. [SEC v. LandOak Securities, LLC, et al., Civil Action No. 3:08CV209 (E.D.TN)] (LR-21909)

SEC Charges South Florida Man and Woman in $30 Million Ponzi Scheme

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged two South Florida residents for conducting a $30 million Ponzi scheme with funds primarily raised by offering and selling unregistered investment contracts and promissory notes to hundreds of investors nationwide from 2005 until the summer of 2007.

The SEC alleges that James Clements and Zeina Smidi of Plantation, Florida, through the companies they jointly controlled: MRT, LLC; MRT Holdings, LTD; and Maximum Return Transaction, LLC, collectively “MRT”; operated a Ponzi scheme that offered investors guaranteed monthly returns as high as 11%.

The SEC complaint alleges that from 2005 until the end of 2006, MRT, Clements and Smidi told investors that MRT used investor proceeds to trade foreign currencies. In June 2007, Clements told account managers that MRT would no longer trade foreign currencies. Clements and Smidi instead claimed that they wanted MRT’s money working with the best Swiss banks and advisors, allowing investors to roll over their existing investment and make future ones into a fixed rate account with a one-year holding period that earned up to 25% annually or a high-yield savings account that earned up to 15% annually.

The SEC alleges that MRT’s claims were baseless and fraudulent and Clements and Smidi actually operated a Ponzi scheme with investors’ monies. Further, Clements and Smidi also siphoned approximately $3 million of MRT investor monies to their personal bank accounts and paid out approximately $3 million for travel, expenses, and luxury items.

The SEC’s complaint charges Clements with violating Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The SEC’s complaint charges Smidi with violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The SEC seeks a permanent injunction, sworn accounting, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest, and a civil money penalty against Clements and Smidi.

The SEC appreciates the assistance in this matter by the State of Florida Office of Financial Regulation. . [SEC v. James Clements and Zeina Smidi, Civil Action No. 11-cv-60673-LSS, (S.D. Fla.)] (LR-21910)
