Open-Market Transaction

A transaction in which a person with inside information on a company buys or sells that company's stocks after filing all pertinent forms with the SEC. An open-market transaction is the only legal way for an insider to trade on a company without committing the crime of insider trading. In an open-market transaction, the insider makes the transaction as close to the market price as possible.
