Item 8.01 Other Events.
As discussed in our previous filings on Form 10-Q, the Company is among a number of oilfield service companies that received an inquiry from the Department of Justice ("DOJ") in July 2007 arising from the DOJ’s investigations into the practices of a freight forwarder and customs clearance broker. We were recently informed by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s ("SEC") Fort Worth, Texas office that they have begun an informal inquiry into the same matters currently under review by the DOJ. As part of this inquiry the SEC has requested that we provide to them the information and documents that have been requested by and are being provided to the DOJ. We intend to cooperate fully with the SEC, as we are doing with the DOJ, and are providing the requested materials to the SEC.
The Special Counsel reporting to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which has been conducting an internal investigation, has found that the Company utilized certain services in Nigeri a offered by the customs broker that appear to be similar to services that have been under review by the DOJ. Special Counsel is reviewing these and other services and activities to determine whether they were conducted in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Special Counsel is also reviewing the extent, if any, of the Company’s knowledge, and involvement in the performance, of these services and activities and whether the Company fulfilled its obligations under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
At this stage of the internal investigation, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of either the internal investigation or the government inquiries.
