would
likely consider it important in deciding whether to purchase
or sell a security. Employees must not trade on inside information
about Schering-Plough or other companies gained by virtue
of their positions at Schering-Plough.
This means:
- Do not buy or sell securities if you have knowledge of
material non-public information such as:
- introduction of an innovative
new product
- significant new contracts
- changes in dividends
- mergers, acquisitions and joint
ventures
- major developments in litigation
- earnings statements and forecasts
- expected governmental actions
- material licensing agreements
- information you obtained about
another company confidentially during the course of
your work
- Do not give inside information to anyone else so they
can trade.
Employees who have inside information
can lawfully trade in the market once the information is made
public and enough time has passed for the information to be
absorbed by the public. This is usually at least 48 hours
after the information is made public.
