On September 22, 2014, General Cable revealed that certain members of its staff sent payments to officials of Angola government-owned public utilities, which some considered a violation of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977. When this information was revealed to the investing public on September 23, 2014, General Cable dropped over 10.8% to close at $17.74 per share.

On February 10, 2016, General Cable revealed that it may have incurred more than $33 million in profits through transactions violating the FCPA. When this information was released to the investing public, the value of General Cable fell $3.05 per share or over 31.6% from its previous closing price to close at $6.60 per share on February 11, 2016. Furthermore, on December 29, 2016, General Cable suggested that the Company has agreed to pay $82.3 million to halt the U.S. government’s investigation into inappropriate payments to government officials in Egypt, Angola, Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, and Thailand.

The U.S. Department of Justice stated “[b]etween 2002 and 2013, General Cable subsidiaries paid approximately $13 million to third-party agents and distributors, a portion of which was used to make unlawful payments to obtain business, ultimately netting the company approximately $51 million in profits.” When this information was revealed to the public, the value of General Cable stock further declined, causing investors harm.
