Corporate Secrecy, The Federal Securities Laws, And The Disclosure Of Ongoing Negotiations, J. Robert Brown Jr.
Corporate Secrecy, The Federal Securities Laws, And The Disclosure Of Ongoing Negotiations, J. Robert Brown Jr.
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
Few disclosure issues cause more trepidation and anxiety among corpo- rate officials than the disclosure of ongoing negotiations, whether negotia- tions over prospective sales contracts, aquisitions, mergers, or other material developments. Most major arms length agreements are preceded by a period of negotiations tlnt typically take place behind a veil of secrecy. Disclosure is often delaye' :ntil an agreement has been reached. Corporate officials fear that premature disclosure may result in a competitive disadvantage or may jeopardize continuation of the negotiations.

Federal Decisional Law Under The Williams Act, Robert A. Profuse
Federal Decisional Law Under The Williams Act, Robert A. Profuse
Cleveland State Law Review
The legal requirements relating to tender offers have become a subject of great interest to a broad spectrum of corporate America. Given the frequency of litigation in this context, and the fact that the Williams Act itself and the SEC's rules provide clear answers to only the most basic of questions, analysis and understanding of the federal decisional law relating to tender offers - the principal focus of this Article - is of obvious significance. It constitutes an effort to analyze generally the principal issues raised in the many tender offer cases decided since the enactment of the Williams Act …

The Issuer Registration And Distribution Provisions Of The Proposed Federal Securities Code, Kenneth J. Bialkin
The Issuer Registration And Distribution Provisions Of The Proposed Federal Securities Code, Kenneth J. Bialkin
Vanderbilt Law Review
Section 403 of the Code provides that "[a] registration statement shall contain whatever information, financial statements, material contracts and other documents the Commission specifies by rule. This complete legislative delegation to the Commission, in Professor Loss's view, "seems perfectly safe in the year 1972. "One need not criticize the Commission's competence in the disclosure area, however, to suggest that after some 35 years of experience with the securities laws a statute prescribing the basic disclosure items (similar to the 1933 Act's Schedule A) should be possible, as well as appropriate and desirable. The wisdom of leaving the entire job to …
Disclosure By Issuers Of Municipal Securities: An Analysis Of Recent Proposals And A Suggested Approach, Robert D. Tuke
Disclosure By Issuers Of Municipal Securities: An Analysis Of Recent Proposals And A Suggested Approach, Robert D. Tuke
Vanderbilt Law Review
The following considerations impacting on the disclosure issue have been developed in this Note: the uniqueness of the municipal securities industry, owing to the diverse natures of the securities, the wide variety of issuers, and the particular means of marketing the securities; the special circumstances created for underwriters by the competitive bidding process; the varied roles of other participants in the distribution process--fiscal agents, bond counsel, governmental accountants; the existing state machinery for regulation and control; the practical limitations on the SEC--both in staff capacity and expertise; the need for uniformity in disclosure to prevent weakened marketability of municipal securities …
Foreign Bribes And The Securities Acts' Disclosure Requirements, Michigan Law Review
Foreign Bribes And The Securities Acts' Disclosure Requirements, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 require most major corporations to disclose to investors all material information concerning company operations. Although they were not intended to regulate the conduct of business, these disclosure obligations can have a deterrent effect upon improper corporate activities. The recent revelation that a significant number of corporations have been making bribes and similar payments abroad has created interest in the feasibility of employing the disclosure requirements to curtail this practice. This Note will show that, despite recent pressures for change, the Securities and Exchange Commission has continued to view …
Financial Disclosure By Small Corporations, Russell J. Bruemmer
Financial Disclosure By Small Corporations, Russell J. Bruemmer
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This note will focus upon the desirability of compelling financial disclosure by corporations not subject to control under the existing federal securities legislation, which includes the vast majority of American corporations. While differing in degree and extent of application to corporations of varying sizes, the benefits derived from disclosure by large, widely-held corporations would also be obtained when disclosure is made by smaller, less widely-held corporations. The extension of federal or state disclosure requirements to corporations of all sizes and ownership dispersions, requiring them to place financial information before their shareholders at least once each year, is suggested.

The Case Against Insider Trading: A Response To Professor Manne, David Ferber
The Case Against Insider Trading: A Response To Professor Manne, David Ferber
Vanderbilt Law Review
Professor Manne's article appears to be largely an attack on critics of his book Insider Trading and the Stock Market. I must confess I have not read his book. I did, however, read an earlier article by Professor Manne attacking the position of the Commission in the Texas Gulf case, and I once participated in a forum at which Professor Manne expressed his view that inside information should be something that a corporate official might sell. I disagree with Professor Manne's basic position that "[t]he debatable aspects of insider trading are capable of resolution through tools of economic analysis,"' as …
New And Comprehensive Duties Of Securities Sellers To Investigate, Disclose, And Have An "Adequate Basis" For Representations, Willoughby C. Johnson
New And Comprehensive Duties Of Securities Sellers To Investigate, Disclose, And Have An "Adequate Basis" For Representations, Willoughby C. Johnson
Michigan Law Review
The duties of investigation and disclosure imposed upon securities salesmen have been significantly enlarged by several recent cases generated by the Second Circuit's 1963 decision of Berko v. SEC. In a hearing before the Securities and Exchange Commission it was found that Berko was a salesman working out of an acknowledged "boiler room." His employer had provided its salesmen, including Berko, with fraudulent sales brochures, some of which were subsequently distributed by Berko. The action by the Commission against Berko arose out of the sale of a specific security to a customer who had received fraudulent sales brochures and …

Current Problems In Securities Regulation, Robert N. Dorosin, Ira J. Jaffe, Rolfe A. Worden, James C. Lockwood, Willoughby C. Johnson
Michigan Law Review
This comment analyzes four areas of central significance to adequate protection for the investor: (1) qualifications of those in the securities industry who deal with the public; (2) dissemination of corporate publicity; (3) dissemination of investment advice; and (4) selling practices in the securities industry. The findings and recommendations of the Special Study are given special attention insofar as they bear upon the problems covered. In certain areas, however, recent developments in court and Commission decisions have brought about changes equally as significant as the findings and recommendations of the Special Study. Thus each section covers the background and recent …
A Reappraisal Of The Role Of Disclosure, Robert L. Knauss
A Reappraisal Of The Role Of Disclosure, Robert L. Knauss
Michigan Law Review
The objective of this paper is to assess the current role of disclosure in its various aspects in security regulation. Following a brief description of the current uses of disclosure in securities regulation, there are separate sections describing and evaluating (1) the obligation of disclosure imposed on issuers at the initial sale of securities, (2) the obligation of disclosure resting on issuers if they have securities which are traded, and (3) obligations of disclosure imposed on parties in the securities business other than issuers. This last section includes obligations of insiders, broker-dealers, and investment advisers, as well as duties of …
Insider Securities Dealings During Corporate Crises, Victor Brudney
Insider Securities Dealings During Corporate Crises, Victor Brudney
Michigan Law Review
The problem of assuring the fidelity of corporate insiders to the public investors in their enterprises figured prominently in legal literature and law reform proposals twenty-five or thirty years ago. In recent years, that question has attracted relatively less attention-in part because of the appearance or recognition of more significant problems in the relationship of publicly-held corporate enterprise to the national well-being, but in part also because of the development by courts, legislatures and administrative agencies-and to some extent by the insiders' community itself-of more exacting standards of loyalty. Recognition of broader obligations to their corporations and to public investors …

Corporations - The Fudiciary Duty Of Directors In The Issuance Of Stock Subject To Preemptive Rights, Howard M. Downs
Corporations - The Fudiciary Duty Of Directors In The Issuance Of Stock Subject To Preemptive Rights, Howard M. Downs
Michigan Law Review
In Gord v. Iowana Farms Milk Co. , a stockholder protested the issue to the defendant of certain shares of stock in a closely held corporation. At the time of the sale, the plaintiff was a director and secretary-treasurer of the corporation with access to the corporate books and knowledge of the corporate assets. At the meeting at which the stock was issued, the plaintiff signed a statement saying "at the present time I do not elect to purchase any stock. . . ." The stock, sold for $15 a share, had a value variously estimated at $50 to $103.22. …

Securities Legislation - Securities Act - Stop Order Proceedings - Administrative Tests Of Materiality, Bertram H. Lebeis
Michigan Law Review
With a view toward correcting many of the abuses which had accompanied the distribution of securities, the Congressional mandate embodied in the Securities Act of 1933, together with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted in pursuance thereof, require the publication of much information previously withheld from the investing public. The basic objective of the act is the full disclosure of every essentially important element attending issues of securities in interstate commerce or through the mails, and to that end the commission is empowered to issue a stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement if it …
