U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Litigation Release No. 26556 / May 18, 2026

Securities and Exchange Commission v. Oskar Elmgart and Raymond Leibman, No. 2:26-cv-05633 (D.N.J. filed May 18, 2026)

SEC Files Settled Action as to Two New Jersey Residents Charged with Insider Trading

On May 18, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed settled insider trading charges against Oskar Elmgart, of Millburn, New Jersey, and Raymond Leibman, of West Orange, New Jersey, in connection with allegations that they illegally traded in advance of the April 22, 2024 announcement that CoStar Group, Inc. had agreed to acquire Matterport, Inc.

According to the SEC’s complaint, filed in federal court in the District of New Jersey, Elmgart and Leibman traded in the securities of Matterport based on material nonpublic information they misappropriated from a close family member who was an employee of Matterport and worked on a commercial agreement relating to the acquisition in the weeks leading up to the announcement. As alleged in the complaint, between April 16 and April 19, 2024, Elmgart purchased 260 short-term, out-of-the-money Matterport call options, and Leibman purchased 10,000 shares of Matterport stock on April 19, 2024. As alleged in the SEC’s complaint, Matterport’s stock price increased 176% on the day of the announcement, Elmgart sold his call options after the announcement and made $63,050 in illicit profits, and Leibman’s trading yielded unrealized illicit profits of $30,581.

Without admitting or denying the allegations in the SEC’s complaint, Elmgart and Leibman have agreed to the entry of final judgments, subject to court approval, that would permanently enjoin them from violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, order Elmgart to pay $63,050 in disgorgement plus prejudgment interest of $6,173 and a civil penalty of $63,050, and order Leibman to pay $30,581 in disgorgement plus prejudgment interest of $2,795 and a civil penalty of $30,581.

The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Han Nguyen and Julia C. Green with assistance from John Rymas and supervised by Joseph G. Sansone, all of the Division of Enforcement’s Market Abuse Unit. Trial counsel Karen M. Klotz also assisted with this matter under the supervision of Gregory R. Bockin, and Scott A. Thompson, Associate Director of the SEC’s Philadelphia Regional Office. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
