Plain-English summary
8–K Trading Gap Act of 2019
This bill requires certain issuers of securities to create policies reasonably designed to prevent executive officers and directors from trading their securities after a significant corporate event but before disclosing that event through a public filing. Certain issuers required by regulation to adopt a code of ethics are exempt from this requirement.
