Our attention has been drawn to a press release published by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) on Friday, May 31, 2019 “Press Release on “Investigation of Oando PLC”.
In the statement, the Commission confirms the
conclusion of its investigations and that the findings from the report reveal
serious infractions by the Company and as part of measures to address these
violations, the Commission has directed penalties as follows:
1.
Resignation
of the affected Board members of Oando Plc,
2.
The
convening of an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting on or before July 1, 2019, to
appoint new directors,
3.
Payment of
monetary penalties by the company and affected individuals and directors,
4.
Refund of
improperly disbursed remuneration by the affected Board members to the company,
5.
Bar of the
Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) and the Deputy Group Chief Executive
Officer (DGCEO) of Oando Plc from being directors of public companies for a
period of five (5) years.
Oando is of the view that these alleged infractions
and penalties are unsubstantiated, ultra vires, invalid and calculated to
prejudice the business of the Company.
The Company has not been given the opportunity to
see, review and respond to the forensic audit report and so is unable to
ascertain what findings (if any) were made in relation to the alleged
infractions and defend itself accordingly before the SEC.
The Company reserves its rights to take all legal steps to protect its business and assets whilst remaining committed to act in the best interests of all its shareholders.
