SEC Proposes Rule to Disqualify Felons and Bad Actors From Securities Offerings

The Securities and Exchange Commission today proposed a rule to deny certain securities offerings from qualifying for exemption from registration if they involve certain “felons and other bad actors.” 

The proposed rule would implement a provision of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Regulation D provides three exemptions that a company can use to avoid registration under the securities laws, the most widely used of which is Rule 506.  If an offering qualifies for the Rule 506 exemption, an issuer can raise unlimited capital from an unlimited number of accredited investors and up to 35 non-accredited investors. 

Under the proposed rule, an offering would be unable to rely on the Rule 506 exemption if the issuer or any other person covered by the rule had a “disqualifying event” such as a criminal conviction, court injunction and restraining order.

“The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Commission to adopt rules that would make this safe harbor unavailable if a felon and other ‘bad actor’ is involved in the offering,” said SEC Chairman Mary L. Schapiro. 

Public comments on the SEC’s proposal should be received by July 14, 2011. (Press Rel. 2011-115)

SEC Adopts Rules to Establish Whistleblower Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission today adopted rules to create a whistleblower program that rewards individuals who provide the agency with high-quality tips that lead to successful enforcement actions. 

The new SEC whistleblower program, implemented under Section 922 of the Dodd-Frank Act, is primarily intended to reward individuals who act early to expose violations and who provide significant evidence that helps the SEC bring successful cases.

To be considered for an award, the SEC’s rules require that a whistleblower must voluntarily provide the SEC with original information that leads to the successful enforcement by the SEC of a federal court or administrative action in which the SEC obtains monetary sanctions totaling more than $1 million.

“For an agency with limited resources like the SEC, it is critical to be able to leverage the resources of people who may have first-hand information about violations of the securities laws,” said SEC Chairman Mary L. Schapiro.  “While the SEC has a history of receiving a high volume of tips and complaints, the quality of the tips we have received has been better since Dodd-Frank became law.  We expect this trend to continue, and these final rules map out simplified and transparent procedures for whistleblowers to provide us critical information.”

The SEC’s rules will be effective 60 days after they are submitted to Congress or published in the Federal Register. (Press Rel. 2011-116)

Commission Revokes Registration of Securities of Diamond Hitts Production, Inc. for Failure to Make Required Periodic Filings

On May 25, 2011, the Commission revoked the registration of each class of registered securities of Diamond Hitts Production, Inc. (Diamond Hitts Production) 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, Diamond Hitts Production 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 Diamond Hitts Production, 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 Columbia Futures Fund’s securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. This Order settled the proceedings brought against Diamond Hitts Production in In the Matter of Davin Computer Corp., et al., Administrative Proceeding File No. 3-14375.

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

SEC Charges New Jersey Resident With Multiple Instances of Insider Trading

On May 24, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Abraham Haim with insider trading in the securities of five companies based on material nonpublic information regarding potential acquisitions he misappropriated from a relative, an investment banker, who by virtue of his employment, had material nonpublic information regarding the acquisitions. Haim and the relative shared a relationship of trust and confidence. Unbeknownst to the relative, Haim allegedly surreptitiously listened to the relative’s private telephone conversations about the potential transactions, and read confidential documents, which referenced the transactions. By trading on the material nonpublic information he heard and saw, Haim allegedly breached his duty of trust and confidence that he owed to the relative.

The Commission’s complaint alleges that between April 2006 and March 2007, Haim, a New Jersey resident and self-employed technology consultant, purchased securities in advance of merger and acquisition announcements based on material nonpublic information in Intergraph Corporation, Metasolv, Inc., Open Solutions Inc., Aeroflex Incorporated, and MapInfo Corporation in brokerage accounts he owned or controlled. According to the complaint, Haim knew that the relative owed a duty of confidentiality to his employer and his employer’s clients. Despite knowing that the relative could not, and did not, share nonpublic information with him, Haim misappropriated such information and used it for his own benefit. As a result of his trading, Haim generated $30,126 in illegal profits.

Without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, Haim agreed to settle the charges against him. The settlement is pending final approval by the court. Specifically, Haim consented to the entry of a final judgment permanently enjoining him from violating Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, ordering him to pay disgorgement of $30,126 plus prejudgment interest of $7,188 and imposing a civil penalty of $30,126.

The SEC acknowledges the assistance of FINRA in connection with this matter. [SEC v. Abraham Haim, Civil Action No. 11-CV-295 (D.N.J.)] (LR-21977)
