Insider Trading FAQs

While you are in possession of material nonpublic information about a company (including partners and suppliers of Aurora) that you obtained in the course of performing services for Aurora, you may not, directly or indirectly, (a) buy, sell or engage in other transactions in securities of that company, or (b) disclose to others or benefit from or take advantage of that information (for example, by recommending transactions in that company’s securities). This document is intended to address certain frequently asked questions that may arise in relation to insider information.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION

What can I share with friends, family and acquaintances?

The best advice we can give you, is to respond to ALL questions from friends and strangers by directing them to our website. Don’t discuss any specific information about how the company is doing, what your goals are, what’s about to be launched or anything else that relates to the company or the transaction.

INSIDER TRADING

Can I buy stock in Reinvent?

Currently, you may not purchase shares in Reinvent Technology Partners Y (the SPAC we’re merging with). Once we go public, you will be able to purchase shares in Aurora on the open market, subject to the limitations set forth in our insider trading policy and other applicable policies and procedures. We will provide more information when we are closer to the closing of the transaction.

What is material non-public information?

Material non-public information is any information about a company that has not reached the general marketplace and that would be important to investors who are deciding whether to trade its securities. A few examples of non-public information that could be considered material include significant contracts, financial forecasts or earnings estimates, major management changes, proposed mergers, acquisitions, or dispositions, major litigation, securities offerings, stock splits, or repurchases of company securities. Please inquire with Jessica McBride if you have any questions about whether information you possess would constitute material non-public information.

When is information considered “public”?

Information becomes public when it is generally available. For example, information becomes “public” after it has been disclosed in an SEC filing or announced via a press release that is carried by a major wire service. However, even after information becomes generally available, employees are encouraged to wait at least two (2) full trading days before considering it “public” for trading purposes.

Do the restrictions on insider trading apply only to employees?

The law applies to officers, directors, employees, and agents of the company, as well as suppliers and consultants who have special access to such information. The law also applies to spouses, children, and anyone else in an employee’s home. Anyone can be an insider if he/she is trading securities on material non-public information.

I often speak about business with my spouse, that’s not a problem, is it? I only occasionally reveal non-public information, and my spouse knows not to tell anyone else.

This could result in criminal prosecution if your spouse were to use material non-public information that is learned through your employment at Aurora to buy or sell securities, or if your spouse shares the information with someone else and that person buys or sells the company’s securities. You should not disclose any non-public information to anyone outside of Aurora unless they are subject to appropriate contractual non-use and nondisclosure obligations.

I would never trade on inside information, but what if I give my dad a tip just before a big news release…can he get in trouble?

Yes. Legally, you cannot leak material non-public information to others who trade on the basis of such information. This could lead to criminal prosecution for illegal insider trading.

I’m involved with a project at work performing due diligence on ABC Company, which we are likely to acquire or partner with. The transaction will cause ABC Company’s stock to increase substantially. Can I trade ABC Company stock?

No. The prohibition against insider trading extends to the securities of any other organization with which we do business if the employee gains the information at work.

These are a lot of rules. How will I ever know whether I can trade in Aurora securities?
