    Study Notes

    Corporate Bankruptcies

    • Two classifications: liquidations and reorganizations.
    • Liquidation involves selling assets; proceeds are distributed based on claim priority.
    • Reorganization allows companies to continue operating while repaying creditors.

    Public Offering Protections

    • Securities industry cannot limit shares purchased by issuer’s employees.
    • Insiders must not exploit their position for personal benefit on new issues.
    • Securities must be offered at the public offering price.
    • Member firms cannot withhold securities in offerings for their own advantage.

    Oil and Gas DPPs

    • An income program invests in currently producing wells.
    • Exploratory programs focus on drilling for new oil and gas reserves.

    Mutual Fund Sales Charges

    • The most common sales charge is a front-end load, paid at purchase.
    • Class A shares (front-end load) have lower ongoing expenses than other share classes.

    Control Persons Under SEC Rule 144

    • Control persons include directors, officers, and those owning 10% or more of equity securities.
    • Individuals owning 5% or more of common stock are not considered control persons.
