Abstract
This Article explores the impact of the 1994 amendments to the Commercial Code on the Japanese Securities and Exchange Law, especially as they pertain to insider trading by stock issuers. The Article identifies limited situations, both in tender offer and public stock market contexts, in which companies may purchase their own stocks. Specifically, the Article addresses the issuer's repurchase plan, the necessary elements of disclosure, and the penalties for non-disclosure. The Article analyzes the amendments and questions their effectiveness in addressing the problem of insider trading.
