    Question What Can the CEO of a Publicly Traded Company Disclose About an Upcoming Meeting

    My question involves business law in the state of: Florida but NASDAQ / SEC Question

    Our company is a NASDAQ listed company and have recently launched new business lines, our company is communicating with Shareholders regarding an upcoming meeting in order to present general company updates and discuss these new business lines.

    As the CEO I have started on a very limited basis to reach out to two investor forums where our shareholder frequent to notify them of the meeting and solicit input and make myself more personally accessible.

    One "shareholder" responded saying that my posting on any forum is against SEC regulations and that he has reported me.

    I am keenly aware of keeping all postings based on publicly released information and have not been drawn into any detailed discussions or arguments, asking only for posters to call me if they'd like to discuss the matter further.

    Is what I am doing only risky or clearly against SEC regulations?

    Without knowing the industry and the nature of any disclosures you made, we aren't in a position to comment on your forum participation. You will want to discuss your specific actions with your business lawyer, under both federal regulations and your state's blue sky laws.
