My company has recently been investigated for price gouging and insider trading. How can I best frame the situation to minimize public attention and the impact on our stock prices?

Although it is regrettable, this situation should be viewed in the context of a routine compliance review. In the event that the company has indeed breached any laws, we can work with relevant government agencies to ensure that suitable action is taken and remedial measures are taken as quickly as possible to bring business operations back up to date. It’s essential that the public understands our efforts and intentions and our commitment to full disclosure regarding outcomes. We ask for investors’ patience during this period of investigation so that they can realize our ongoing focus on ethical practices in doing business.

It is unfortunate that two separate and distinct issues—the price gouging allegation and the insider trading investigation—have occurred simultaneously. Your company is cooperating fully with the regulatory authorities investigating both matters, and we are hopeful that these issues can be resolved in a manner that maintains confidence in our products and services. Thank you for your understanding,
