NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PTC (Nasdaq: PTC) today announced agreements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice that resolve a previously disclosed FCPA investigation pertaining to expenditures by certain former employees and business partners in China between 2006 and 2011. The company is pleased to have resolved this matter.
In connection with the agreements, PTC and its China subsidiaries will pay $28.2 million in penalties and interest to these agencies. PTC has implemented extensive remedial measures related to these matters, including the termination of the responsible employees and business partners, the establishment of an entirely new leadership team in China, the establishment of a dedicated compliance function, and other enhancements to compliance programs.
