How to Make Sense of Reg FD and New Disclosure Channels

CPE & CE Credits Available

Overview

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s recent endorsement of social media as viable disclosure channels for publicly traded companies has investors, executives, legal departments and communications professionals trying to make sense of the implications of market moving information surfacing on Facebook, Twitter and other social media channels. A Stanford University study recently found that tweeting can actually improve the liquidity of smaller, lesser-known companies. But there is also plenty of uncertainty about whether engaging in social media is actually beneficial for a company’s valuation. Executives are cagey about messages snowballing out of control, not to mention the effects of false rumors circulating on Twitter.

PondelWilkinson is sanctioned by the California Bar Association to provide Reg FD training to public and pre-public companies, and to law firms for Continuing Education Credits.
