MUENSTER, Civil Action No. 92-CIV-6836-PKL (S.D.N.Y.)
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it recently
entered into settlements with Eric Muenster and Mark Muenster, two of
the
defendants in its insider trading case arising from the 1988 tender
offer
by Grand Metropolitan PLC for The Pillsbury Company. The Commission s
complaint, filed on September 16, 1992, alleged that both Muenster
brothers
violated Sections 10(b) and 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,
and Rules 10b-5 and 14e-3 promulgated thereunder, by purchasing
Pillsbury
call options before the tender offer was publicly announced and while
possessing material nonpublic information about it. Without admitting
or
denying the Commission s allegations, Eric Muenster consented to entry
of a
final judgment that permanently enjoins him from violating these
provisions
of the federal securities laws and orders him to disgorge $42,678.02
in
profits plus prejudgment interest in the amount of $53,889.14. Also
without admitting or denying the Commission s allegations, Mark
Muenster
consented to entry of a final judgment that permanently enjoins him
from
violating the same provisions and orders him to disgorge $43,389.39 in
profits plus prejudment interest in the amount of $54,279.03. Based
