Business Dictionary

Management/closely held shares
Percentage of
shares held by persons closely related to a
company, as defined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Part of these percentages often are included in
"institutional
holdings"--making the combined total of these percentages over 100. There is overlap as institutions sometimes acquire enough
stock to be considered by the
SEC to be closely allied to the company.
