The "Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act" aims to enhance transparency in securities markets by amending the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This legislation specifically expands the scope of insider trading disclosure requirements under Section 16(a)(1) to include directors, officers, and principal stockholders of foreign private issuers . Consequently, individuals in these positions at foreign companies whose securities are traded in the U.S. will now be subject to the same reporting obligations as their domestic counterparts. The bill also stipulates that any existing regulations inconsistent with this expansion will be superseded, ensuring the new disclosure rules take precedence. Furthermore, it mandates the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue or amend regulations to implement these changes within 90 days of the Act's enactment.
