In those instances noted below the SEC cited the "law enforcement exemption" of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) as basis to block our access to the detailed records on the public companies included in this update. As a matter of law, they are acknowledging some sort of investigative activity.
The SEC will not yet disclose the details of that investigation. The SEC reminds us that its assertion of the law enforcement exemption should not be construed as an indication by the Commission or its staff that any violations of law have occurred with respect to any person, entity, or security.
If we can find no clear disclosures of SEC investigative activity made by the public company, and we have a response from the SEC that suggests there is enforcement activity, we then add it to the Probes Reporter Watch List.
