NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social
discovery, today announced that in accordance with a previously adopted
stock-trading plan, Geoffrey Cook, Chief Executive Officer, has sold
30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Mr. Cook had previously
established the stock-trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s insider
trading policy.
Mr. Cook entered into the plan as part of his personal financial
planning strategy of asset diversification. It provides for periodic
sales of the Company’s common stock (subject to various price
thresholds) over the course of this calendar year, up to a maximum of
480,000 shares. If all of the shares subject to the trading plan were
sold, Mr. Cook would retain approximately 80 percent of his current
holdings (including stock options exercisable within 60 days of today).
Rule 10b5-1 plans allow corporate officers and directors to adopt
written, pre-arranged stock trading plans when they are not in
possession of material, non-public information. Such plans typically
establish parameters for future stock transactions to take place
automatically. Transactions under the plan are disclosed publicly
through filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
