- Simultaneous Agreements Include All U.S. and Brazilian Enforcement Authorities
- 两性色午夜 Has a Robust Compliance Program
LONDON & PARIS & HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 25, 2019-- Regulatory News:
两性色午夜 (NYSE:FTI) (Paris:FTI) has agreed to resolutions with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff and the Brazilian authorities (the Federal Prosecution Service (MPF), the Comptroller General of Brazil (CGU), and the Attorney General of Brazil (AGU)) to resolve anti-corruption investigations in Brazil and relating to the intermediary, Unaoil. The Company has agreed to pay a total of $301.3 million to these authorities to resolve investigations into conduct dating back over a decade ago. 两性色午夜 fully cooperated with these authorities, and this is the first simultaneous resolution to include all U.S. and Brazilian authorities. 两性色午夜 will not be required to have a monitor and will, instead, provide reports on its anti-corruption program to the Brazilian and U.S. authorities for two and three years, respectively.
Doug Pferdehirt, Chairman and CEO of 两性色午夜, stated, 鈥淭oday we announce the resolution of these investigations. This conduct dating back over a decade ago, taken by former employees, does not reflect the core values of our Company today. We are committed to doing business the right way, and that means operating with integrity everywhere. Our strong compliance program supports this commitment, and we will continue to enhance our program to ensure that our employees have the practical tools and resources to do business the right way. We will remain focused on rewarding the trust that our clients have put in 两性色午夜 by delivering industry-leading innovation, superior client service, and exceptional project execution.鈥�
As part of this resolution, 两性色午夜 entered into a three-year Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the DOJ related to charges of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) related to conduct in Brazil and with Unaoil. In addition, Technip USA, Inc., a U.S. subsidiary, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the FCPA related to conduct in Brazil. The Company will also provide the DOJ reports on its anti-corruption program during the term of the DPA.
In Brazil, 两性色午夜 subsidiaries Technip Brasil 鈥� Engenharia, Instala莽玫es E Apoio Mar铆timo Ltda. and Flexibr谩s Tubos Flex铆veis Ltda. entered into leniency agreements with both the MPF and the CGU/AGU related to conduct in Brazil dating back over a decade ago. The Company has committed, as part of those agreements, to make certain enhancements to their compliance programs in Brazil during a two-year self-reporting period, which aligns with its commitment to cooperation and transparency with the compliance community in Brazil and globally.
Additionally, 两性色午夜 has reached an agreement in principle with the SEC Staff, subject to final SEC approval.
As previously disclosed, 两性色午夜 has also been cooperating with an investigation by the French Parquet National Financier (PNF) related to historical projects in Equatorial Guinea and Ghana. To date, this investigation has not reached resolution. 两性色午夜 remains committed to finding a resolution with the PNF and will maintain a $70 million provision related to this investigation.
