What are the differences between right of withdrawal and right of rescission?

  1. Both are related to employee benefits

  2. One involves stock options, the other cash reserves

  3. Withdrawal is within 2 business days of receipt, rescission is for misrepresentation in the prospectus

  4. Withdrawal is for errors in financial statements, rescission is for pricing errors

The correct answer is: Withdrawal is within 2 business days of receipt, rescission is for misrepresentation in the prospectus

The correct answer is C. Withdrawal is the right to cancel a purchase of securities within two business days of receiving the sale confirmation. On the other hand, rescission is the right to cancel a purchase if there is a material misrepresentation in the prospectus. The key difference lies in the timing and the reason for exercising these rights. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the differences between right of withdrawal and right of rescission in the context of securities transactions.
