Research Update - March 31, 2022

Note:  This is only the research summary.  The PDF for the full 13-page Research Update report will only be visible to clients logged in. 

 News:  Probes Reporter will soon be Disclosure Insight.

In March, I made the milestone decision to rename Probes Reporter to Disclosure Insight. “DI” is a brand I created and always loved, but had to abandon about 10 years ago after a deal with a public company investor went sour (50 people lost their jobs on that one).  Got the trademark back in 2015, renaming now.  Twitter handle is @DIReports.  Full rollout starts May 1st.  

As always, there’s a lot for you in today’s research update.  To produce this one report, which you will consume in only minutes, I will have filed hundreds of FOIA requests and appeals, and then personally read through untold thousands of pages of SEC filings.  I do this so you don’t have to.  All I ask in return is that you consider joining me, or staying on, as a paid member

Enough marketing, here’s your latest:

New – Added to Watch List.  Newly confirmed, undisclosed SEC Investigations.

  • General Motors – GM:   First found in Dec-2021, confirmed as ongoing in March.
  • Gran Tierra Energy – GTE:  First found in January, confirmed in March.

Confirmed Update.  An undisclosed SEC investigation is again confirmed.  

  • Corteva – CTVA:  Confirmed twice now since Apr-2021.
  • Lyft – LYFT:  Three undisclosed SEC probes and a CFO departure on short notice. 
  • Tilray, the Aphria unit – TLRY/APHA:  Confirmed four times now since Jan-2020. 
  • TreeHouse Foods – THS:  Confirmed twice now since May-2021.   
  • Tyson Foods – TSN:  Internal investigation, a restatement in the background.
  • Welltower – WELL:  Confirmed three times now since Apr-2020. 

Notable Disclosures Found at Companies with SEC Investigations: 

  • Cassava Sciences – SAVA:  Be careful, they are playing you.  We explain.    
  • Ericsson – ERIC:   A new round of FCPA problems. Color us suspicious.
  • Plug Power – PLUG:   Multiple Alerts.  Troubled Company.  A lot going on here.

Removed from Watch List in March. 

  • Arrow Electronics – ARW:  SEC probe ended in December, CFO out last week.  
  • Smith & Nephew  – SNN:  SEC probe in the 10-K. We warned you first.  Shoddy.

That’s all you get.  As always, I thank you for your ongoing support.  If you like our work, please become a paying member and/or tell others.   - John
