Pre‑Clearance Protocols: Section 16 Compliance to Online 10b5‑1 Plans

Pre‑Clearance Protocols: Section 16 Compliance to Online 10b5‑1 Plans

Includes a Live Web Event on 06/03/2026 at 1:30 PM (EDT)

As equity programs grow and employee trading becomes more automated, pre-clearance has shifted from a narrow compliance checkbox to a core risk management function. This session examines how companies are modernizing pre-clearance frameworks—expanding beyond Section 16 insiders to employees trading through online platforms and Rule 10b5-1 plans. Equity, legal, and compliance leaders will explore how organizations translate policy into scalable, auditable operating models—balancing control, efficiency, and employee experience. Leave with a practical blueprint for structuring modern pre-clearance programs that support growth and enable responsible trading.

Key questions this webinar will answer:

  • How is ownership and accountability for pre-clearance evolving as equity programs scale?
  • How should companies define and manage distinct pre-clearance populations, from executives and directors to broader employee groups?
  • What governance and oversight considerations apply to online trading and Rule 10b5-1 plans, including for non-executive participants?
  • How can automation improve efficiency and consistency while preserving appropriate human judgment? 
  • What operational risks, data dependencies, and control gaps commonly arise in day-to-day administration?

A recording of the webinar will be posted shortly after conclusion of the live broadcast.
