In an attempt to prevent this exemption from serving as a conduit for the flow of securities into the public securities markets, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed new rules regulating the resale of securities purchased in a private offering. These proposals would alter, among other things, the existing holding period, sales limitation, and financial information requirements. This article will examine the impact of the proposed *rules on venture capital financing of …

The Public-Interest Proxy Contest: Reflections On Campaign Gm, Donald E. Schwartz

Michigan Law Review

Proxy contests are generally fought for control of a corporation. The rules governing this form of corporate combat seek to provide shareholders with adequate information about the rival forces for control so that they can intelligently choose between them.

Purchase Of Shares Of Corporation By A Director From A Shareholder, Harold R. Smith May 1921

Purchase Of Shares Of Corporation By A Director From A Shareholder, Harold R. Smith
