Court Of Chancery Sets Guidelines For Trades By Class Representatives

In re NYSE Euronext Shareholders Litigation, C.A. 8136-CS (Transcript March 8, 2013)

This transcript sets 2 guidelines that a class representative should follow with respect to trading in the securities held by the class it represents.  First, any trading should be first reviewed by class counsel to avoid problems with using insider information gained in the course of the litigation. Second, the class representative should retain at least 75% of the securities it held when the class was certified to be sure it continues to have the same economic interests that warranted its appointment to represent others.
