The Company has a long-standing commitment to comply with all securities laws and regulations. U.S. securities laws prohibit persons from trading in the securities of a company on the basis of information obtained as an associate of the company and that is not available to other investors -- this is known as "material inside information." Material inside information is any information concerning a company's business, prospects, securities or market, which an investor might consider important in deciding whether to buy or sell the securities, or which could affect their market price. Examples of material information include, but are not limited to: possible mergers, acquisitions or divestitures; actual or estimated financial results or changes in dividends; purchases and sales of investments in companies; obtaining or losing significant contracts; significant discoveries or product developments; threatened major litigation or developments in such matters; and major changes in business strategies. Using material inside information in the course of buying, selling or otherwise dealing in stock is known as "insider trading."
If you have access to material information, whether it pertains to Standard Register or another company, such as a customer or supplier of the Company, do not buy or sell securities of Standard Register or the other company until at least two business days after the information has been disclosed to the public by press release or similar announcement. Also, do not share this information with anyone, including family members, and do not recommend to anyone that they buy or sell stock of Standard Register or the other company. Upon public disclosure, the information loses it "insider" status and is available for all investors to consider.
Two simple rules can help protect you in this area:
- Don't trade in Standard Register or other company's stock when in possession of material inside information;
- Don't pass along such information to someone who has no need to know, including family members, other associates, retirees and friends.
