Defendants disclosed on September 23, 2016 that Cemex dismissed two senior executives after an internal probe found that payments worth $20 million relating to a land deal in Columbia violated company protocols. The chief executive of Cemex’s subsidiary (Cemex Latam Holdings) resigned over the matter. This news drove the price of Cemex American Depositary Receipts down $0.17, or about 2.3%, to close at $7.26 on September 26, 2016.
Defendants disclosed on December 9, 2016 that Cemex received a subpoena from the SEC seeking information about irregular payments made at the Company’s Columbia unit.
More recently, on March 14, 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether Cemex violated federal bribery laws. This news drove the price of Cemex ADRs down $0.12, or about 1.6%, to close at $7.21 on March 14, 2018.
