On April 5, 2017, SeekingAlpha published a Prescience Point Research Group report entitled “Celadon Group: A Story That Ends At Chapter 11.” The report traced CGI’s accounting for joint venture transactions that Prescience Point claimed were intended to misrepresent CGI’s financial condition. In response, the price of CGI’s shares fell approximately 13.6% to close at $5.40 on April 5, 2017.
On April 19, 2017, Prescience Point reported that the SEC is investigating the Company. Prescience Point reached its conclusion because in response to Prescience Point’s Freedom of Information Act request, the SEC indicated that providing information “could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement activities.” With this news, the price of CGI’s shares fell approximately 13%.
“Among other things, we’re focused on whether the Defendants improperly misrepresented CGI’s true financial condition and whether there will be financial restatements,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
