NERA's Role in Securities and Exchange Commission vs. John F. Mangan, Jr.
NERA Senior Vice President Dr. Marcia Kramer Mayer provided analysis and testimony on behalf of the defendant in a CompuDyne PIPE case. The SEC alleged that Mr. Mangan intended to fraudulently take advantage of material non-public information concerning a PIPE transaction by selling short pre-announcement. The SEC's expert testified that the close-to-close price drop from $17.38 on the day Mr. Mangan arranged to purchase shares at the $12 discounted offering price to $14.25 the following day, when he placed a sell order before the open, sold soon thereafter, and the PIPE transaction was subsequently announced, was statistically significant. Dr. Mayer was retained by Mr. Mangan's counsel as the defendant's expert on materiality.
