Ownership Reporting System Masterfile: Cumulative Files, 1986-2000

<p>The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Ownership Reporting System contains transactions reported on SEC form 3 (Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities) and SEC Form 4 (Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities) by persons having an “insider relationship” or in a position of beneficial ownerships. Persons with an insider relationship must report all changes in the amount of securities beneficially owned. Each record contains the security and issue, owner’s name and relationship to the company, data and type of transaction, number of shares and their value. Users should be aware that these data contain many missing and out-of-scope values. According to the SEC Records Office, the Ownership Reporting System ceased effective December 31, 2000. A successor product, Insider Filings, is produced by Thomson Financial. Other products that identify insider filings include SEC’s EDGAR web site, the Access to Archival Databases (AAD) tool maintained by the National Archives, and several products licensed by the Cornell University Library.</p>
