On February 7, 2017, USNA announced that it is voluntarily conducting an internal investigation of its China operations, BabyCare Ltd. concerning compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and certain conduct and policies at BabyCare, including BabyCare’s expense reimbursement policies. The Company hired outside counsel to conduct the investigation and notified both the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice of the investigation.
This news drove the price of USNA shares down over 11.5% to close at $55.40 on February 8, 2017.
On March 1, 2017, USNA disclosed it identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 in connection with the internal investigation into compliance with the FCPA.
“We’re concerned that if in fact there were FCPA violations, they would have occurred in the Company’s largest operations,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding USNA should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new SEC whistleblower program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
