SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, D.C. Litigation Release No. 15736 / May 12, 1998 Securities and Exchange Commission v. Brad E. Hollinger, Civil Action No. 98 CV 1187 (D.C.D.C.) The Securities and Exchange Commission today filed an insider trading action against Brad E. Hollinger, a former senior vice president of Continental Medical Systems, Inc. (CMS). The complaint alleges as follows: In March 1995, through his position as an officer of CMS, Hollinger obtained material, inside information concerning Horizon Healthcare Corporation s imminent plans to acquire CMS. While in possession of this information, Hollinger directed and caused the purchase, on March 30, 1995, of 5,000 shares of CMS common stock through a family member s brokerage accounts. The following day, CMS and Horizon publicly announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement in which Horizon agreed to acquire CMS. By engaging in the above conduct, Hollinger violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Simultaneously with the commencement of this enforcement action, Hollinger consented, without admitting or denying the allegations in the complaint, to the entry of a final judgment permanently enjoining him from violating Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5. In settlement, Hollinger agreed to pay $49,719.76, representing disgorgement of the trading profits of $21,625, prejudgment interest of $6,469.76, and a civil penalty of $21,625. ======END OF PAGE 1======
