At a recent board meeting of WelstarLtd, Victor, one of the company's directors, became aware that Welstar was about to buy a large parcel of shares in Flexizin Ltd, a listed company. After buying the Flexizin shares Welstar intended to make a takeover bid for the rest of Flexizin's shares. Victor thought that when WelstarLtd's initial purchase became public knowledge it would signal Welstar's takeover intentions and that Flexizin's share price would increase significantly. He therefore arranged for his wife's company, Spousal Investments Pty Ltd, to buy shares in Flexizin Ltd ahead of Welstar's purchase. Spousal Investments Pty Ltd later sold the Flexizin Ltd shares after Welstar's takeover bid waspublicly announced and made a large profit.
