SEC Charges DraftKings With Fair Disclosure Violation: What To Know
SEC Charges DraftKings With Fair Disclosure Violation: What To Know
"Information about growth in sales as a public company can be extremely important to investors," said DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ:DKNG) shares are trading slightly lower in Thursday's extended trading after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said it charged the company with selectively disclosing material, nonpublic information to investors who followed the company CEO's social media accounts without disclosing that same information to all investors.
DraftKings股份有限公司（納斯達克:DKNG）股票在週四的盤後交易中略有下跌，此前美國證券交易委員會（SEC）表示，控告該公司有選擇性地向關注公司CEO社交媒體帳戶的投資者披露重要非公開信息，而未將同樣的信息披露給所有投資者。
The Details: The SEC order found that on July 27, 2023, at 5:52 p.m., DraftKings' public relations firm published a post on the personal X account of the DraftKings CEO stating that the company continued to see "really strong growth" in states where it was already operating. The PR firm also posted a similar statement on the CEO's LinkedIn account the same day.
詳情：SEC的訂單發現，在2023年7月27日下午5:52，DraftKings的公共關係公司在DraftKings的CEO個人X賬號上發佈了一篇帖子，稱該公司在已經運營的州繼續看到「非常強勁的增長」。該公關公司當天也在CEO的LinkedIn賬號上發佈了類似的聲明。
Shortly after the public relations firm published the posts, it removed both posts at the request of DraftKings. However, the company failed to disclose the information to the public, after being prompted to do so by the SEC, until seven days later when it announced its financial earnings for the second quarter of 2023.
在公關公司發佈這些帖子後不久，根據DraftKings的要求，這兩篇帖子均被刪除。然而，該公司未能按照SEC的要求，在被促請後七天內，即2023年第二季度財務業績公佈時，向公衆披露這一信息。
"Information about growth in sales as a public company can be extremely important to investors," said John Dugan, associate director for Enforcement in the SEC's Boston Regional Office. "It is essential that, when companies disseminate material, nonpublic information, they do so fairly to all investors."
「作爲一家上市公司，關於銷售增長的信息對投資者來說可能至關重要，」 SEC波士頓區域辦公室執法副主任約翰·杜根表示，「當公司傳播重要的非公開信息時，公平地對所有投資者進行披露至關重要。」
The SEC said that DraftKings agreed to pay a $200,000 civil penalty to settle the SEC's charges, without admitting or denying the order's findings and to desist from future violations of the charged provisions.
SEC表示，DraftKings同意支付20萬美元的民事罰款以解決SEC的指控，而無需承認或否認該訂單的發現，並停止違反被指控規定的行爲。
DKNG Price Action: According to Benzinga Pro, DraftKings shares are down 0.29% after-hours at $40.82 at the time of publication Thursday.
