What are the regulations regarding restricted shares as posted by stock exchanges and securities commissions?

  1. Public disclosure is not required for restricted shares

  2. Restricted shares must not be mentioned in any documents

  3. Identifying restricted shares in press with a code is mandatory

  4. No specific regulations are imposed on restricted shares

The correct answer is: Identifying restricted shares in press with a code is mandatory

The correct answer highlights the importance of transparency in the market regarding restricted shares. Identifying restricted shares in press releases with a specific code ensures that investors are aware of the nature of these shares and any restrictions that may apply to them. This practice is crucial for maintaining market integrity and providing investors with the information needed to make informed decisions. Regarding the other options, public disclosure of restricted shares is actually required to ensure that investors are fully aware of their status, and mentioning them in documents is a part of maintaining transparency, so those options do not align with best practices in securities regulation. Additionally, there are indeed specific regulations imposed on restricted shares, making the notion of no regulations being imposed inaccurate.
