Calavo Growers – “Activity In The [SEC] Investigation Has Been Postponed”

Several prior posts have discussed the impact of President Trump’s Executive Order on upcoming or recently completed FCPA trials involving individuals. (See here, here, here and here).

What impact might the Executive Order have on existing corporate FCPA investigations by the DOJ or SEC?

Tough to tell as there is little in the public domain regarding such investigations.

Except of course public company filings – if the company chooses to disclose FCPA issues.

In what is believed to be the first filing by a company under existing FCPA scrutiny since the February 10th Executive Order, Calavo Growers disclosed yesterday that “activity in the [SEC] investigation has been postponed.”
