Overview: Rule 10b-18 (the “Rule”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), provides issuers with a “safe harbor” from liability for stock market price manipulation under Sections 9(a)(2) and 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act, solely by reason of the manner, timing, price and volume of their repurchases. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) recently adopted amendments to the Rule, which are described in the article. This summary does not attempt to cover every aspect of the Rule in detail, but only those portions of the Rule affected by the amendments. Some of the amendments are eligible securities, mergers, acquisitions, and similar transactions involving recapitalizations, riskless principal transactions.
