This modular workshop offers a comprehensive look at the U.S. equity markets. The session starts with
an overview of the U.S. capital markets and how and where stocks trade. You’ll then learn about current
market dynamics, such as dark pools, high-frequency trading and the SEC. The second part of the workshop
focuses on how to interpret trading in your company’s stock, including monitoring options activity, as well as
getting the basics of stock surveillance – and what it can and can’t do in today’s fragmented markets. Finally,
two IROs will share how they leverage relationships with their investors as a resource of trading intelligence,
as well as how they monitor and interpret trading in their stock. Join us for all or part of this workshop to
learn how the capital markets work and what you can do to track what’s going on with your stock.

what shareholder value creation really means and relatively few companies demonstrate clearly how their
strategy is going to deliver it.
