Book excerpt: The central purpose of the securities laws in the United States is to ensure that quality information about the companies who sell their securities to the public is being disclosed to investors. This objective is achieved through the imposition of liability for failure to comply with the laws' disclosure obligations. In particular, Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 imposes liability on parties who fail to conduct reasonable due diligence in accordance with first-time offerings of securities. Historically, courts construed the due diligence obligation under Section 11 such that parties intimately involved in a public offering - e.g., inside directors and underwriters - were required to perform thorough due diligence while outside directors, by virtue of their limited involvement, were not. This makes sense because Section 11 liability was created in order to deter negligent due diligence, but to do so without interfering with honest business practices; imposing varying levels of due diligence on parties based on their respective involvement adheres to this principle. Shelf offerings - a relatively new means of selling securities to the public - complicate things. Unlike a traditional offering, in a shelf offering there is virtually no time to conduct due diligence. Thus, scholars and industry professionals have argued that there should be a Section 11 safe harbor for underwriters when a company conducts a shelf offering. There was no similar concern for outside directors because it was just assumed that outside directors were subject to minimal liability under Section 11. In re WorldCom, Inc. Securities Litigation, changes this assumption and demonstrates the need for regulatory action. In re WorldCom imposed an unrealistic standard of due diligence for outside directors that does not serve any of Section 11's objectives. Because of this problem and the little attention outside directors have received, in this article, I propose an efficient solution: A safe harbor for outside directors modeled off of the state law doctrine, the business judgment rule.
