Context
Purchases made through a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) are typically automatic reinvestments of cash dividends into additional shares and are considered routine. Such DRIP acquisitions are usually small in dollar size and do not necessarily indicate a director’s discretionary bullish bet. The Rule 16b-3(d) exemption covers routine dividend reinvestment transactions by insiders.
