The filing notes that the definition is broad enough to include rumours, matters of supposition, intentions of a person including the company, and information that is insufficiently definite to warrant public disclosure. Examples listed in the policy as potentially constituting Inside Information include pending company announcements and the financial performance of the company against budget.
