On September 30, 2016, Cognizant filed its Form 8-K with the SEC announcing the abrupt resignation of its President, Gordon Coburn, on September 27, 2016.  The Company also disclosed it was “conducting an internal investigation” into payments allegedly made by the Company for permitting in India that may violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other applicable laws. 

Cognizant’s disclosures pushed shares down as much as 17% during heavy intra-day trading on September 30, 2016.  The Company failed to reiterate its future earnings guidance in its 8-K filing.

“Though Cognizant notified the DOJ and SEC, we’re investigating the scope and duration of the Company’s possible corrupt practices and the circumstances surrounding Coburn’s departure,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
