SEC Charges Board Member With Insider Trading During and After Board Meeting

By Securities Docket on October 22, 2016, 12:05 pm

The SEC alleges that James C. Cope obtained more than $56,000 in ill-gotten gains by purchasing securities in Pinnacle’s acquisition target, Avenue Financial Holdings, prior to the banks’ joint public announcement later that month.  According to the SEC’s complaint, Cope learned confidential details about the planned merger during a board executive committee meeting on Jan. 5, 2016, and proceeded to place his first order to purchase Avenue Financial stock while that executive committee meeting was still in progress.  He allegedly placed four more orders within an hour after the meeting ended.
