 J. Pelletier, and Chief Financial Officer, David Wilson David Wilson may refer to:
  • David Wilson, Baron Wilson of Tillyorn (born 1935), British administrator, diplomat and Sinologist
  • David Wilson (sportsman) (born 1967), Australian rugby union footballer and cricketer

, each has adopted a pre-arranged stock trading plan to sell a portion of company stock over time as part of an individual long-term strategy for asset diversification and liquidity. ACS' board of directors had previously amended the company's securities trading securities trading, financial activity involving transactions of property such as stocks, bonds, commodities, and currency (see securities). Although the trading of stocks and bonds dates back several centuries in many Western nations, the development of the  policy to permit the adoption of pre-determined plans for trades of specified amounts of company stock in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The stock trading plans were also adopted in accordance with ACS' executive officer stock ownership guidelines established by the compensation and personnel committee of the company's board of directors.

Rule 10b5-1 allows corporate officers and directors to adopt written, pre-arranged stock trading plans when they do not have material, non-public information. Using these plans, insiders can gradually diversify their investment portfolios, can spread stock trades out over an extended period of time to reduce any market impact and can avoid concerns about whether they had material, non-public information when they sold their stock.

Subject to specified price limitations set forth in each plan, sales under Pelletier's plan are expected to amount to an aggregate of 360,000 shares sold in monthly installments over a twelve-month period, and sales under Wilson's plan are expected to amount to an aggregate of 45,000 shares sold in monthly installments over an eighteen-month period. Appropriate securities filings reporting the sales will be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission when due.

Certain other senior executives have also adopted 10b5-1 trading plans, and other officers and directors of the company may adopt Rule 10b5-1 plans in the future.
