Item 8.01 | | Other Events |
As previously reported by IEC Electronics Corp. (the “Company”), the Company has been engaged in discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to resolve the investigation relating to the Company’s prior restatement of its consolidated financial statements as reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2012.
In connection with the foregoing, the Company consented to the entry of a settled administrative order by the SEC (the “Administrative Order”), which was issued on June 8, 2016. Pursuant to the Administrative Order, the Company (i) neither admitted nor denied the SEC’s findings, (ii) agreed to pay a penalty of $200,000, and (iii) agreed to cease-and-desist from committing or causing any violations or future violations of certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and certain rules thereunder.
In addition, the Administrative Order includes settled charges and sanctions against two individuals who are no longer associated with the Company - a former Executive Vice President of the Company and a former Controller of the Company’s previously owned Southern California Braiding, Inc. subsidiary that was the subject of the restatement.
The Administrative Order fully resolves the SEC’s investigation. A copy of the Administrative Order is available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
