Michael Baron settles with the ASC for market manipulation
CALGARY, AB, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ - The Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) has concluded a Settlement Agreement and Undertaking (Settlement Agreement) with Michael Baron (Baron) for breaching Alberta securities laws relating to his role in a market manipulation involving the shares of Softlab9 Software Solutions Inc. (Softlab). In the Settlement Agreement, Baron admitted he engaged in a course of conduct he reasonably ought to have known may contribute to a false or misleading appearance of trading activity in, and an artificial price for, the shares of Softlab. Specifically, Baron admitted he, in coordination with others, engaged in uptick trading and bid support of Softlab shares in 2020. Uptick trading and bid support are trading strategies used in market manipulations to show false momentum or interest in the trading of a stock and to create an artificial price for the stock, not reflective of genuine supply and demand. Manipulative trading is a form of fraud, and is fundamentally incompatible with investor protection, market fairness and public trust in capital markets. As part of the Settlement Agreement, Baron paid the ASC $50,000 and agreed to resign all positions he may have as a director or officer, or both, of any reporting issuer. Baron also agreed to be prohibited, for a period of four years, from: acting as a director or officer, or both, of any reporting issuer; engaging in investor relations activities in respect of any reporting issuer; and trading in or purchasing securities or derivatives, with limited exceptions. Baron was a respondent in a Notice of Hearing issued by the ASC on April 2, 2024. According to the Settlement Agreement, Baron had a less-significant role in the admitted conduct than other respondents, and no role in the other allegations described in the Notice of Hearing. A copy of the Settlement Agreement is available online. The hearing into the allegations against the remaining Respondents was scheduled to commence on May 26, 2025, but has been adjourned. For more information on the hearing, visit the Status of Current Proceedings page at The ASC gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the BC Securities Commission (BCSC), Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO), Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in this matter. The ASC is the regulatory agency responsible for administering the province's securities laws. It is entrusted with fostering a fair and efficient capital market in Alberta and with protecting investors. As a member of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the ASC works to improve, coordinate and harmonize the regulation of Canada's capital markets.

Shining light: The Aussie woman heading up Hollywood's oldest guild
Mandy Walker was 15 when she realised what she wanted to do with her life. Her mother had taken her to see an obscure Spanish movie, The Spirit of the Beehive, and Mandy was mesmerised. 'I remember thinking, 'Why is this so different from an Australian film? Why do I feel like this place and this story is in a different country? How did they make me understand this sense of place?' And then I started looking into it, what a cinematographer does.' For more than 30 years, Walker has been doing what a cinematographer does, picking up a raft of peer-voted awards, and BAFTA and Oscar nominations and an AACTA Award win (all for Elvis) along the way. And last weekend, she collected perhaps the greatest honour of her career to date – being elected president of the prestigious American Society of Cinematographers. Loading She is the first Australian and the first woman to hold the position and she is, she admits, immensely proud on both counts. But it's on the gender front that she most wants to make her mark. 'I've been part of a minority as a woman cinematographer,' says Melbourne-born Walker. 'I think it's still less than 10 per cent are women, so I feel like I'm a good person to champion that cause.' Founded in 1919, the ASC is one of the oldest professional bodies in Hollywood. It is 'neither a labour union nor a guild', but rather something like an exclusive club. 'Membership is by invitation only,' its website proclaims, 'extended to directors of photography who have demonstrated outstanding ability with distinguished credits in the industry and good personal character.' Despite the American bit, its 471 members come from around the world, though Walker identifies diversity as another area she wants to improve. 'It's still, like, 80 per cent white men who do my job,' she says.
