SEC Charges Five Physicians With Insider Trading in Stock of Medical Professional Liability Insurer

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged five physicians with insider trading in the securities of an East Lansing, Mich.-based holding company for a medical professional liability insurer.

The SEC alleges that Apparao Mukkamala learned confidential information from board meetings and other communications about the anticipated acquisition of American Physicians Capital Inc. (ACAP) by another insurance company.  Mukkamala in turn shared the nonpublic information with fellow physicians and friends Suresh Anne, Jitendra Prasad Katneni and Rao A.K. Yalamanchili as well as his brother-in-law Mallikarjunarao Anne.  The five physicians each purchased ACAP stock based on confidential information about the impending sale in the months leading up to a public announcement.  Collectively, they made more than $623,000 in illegal profits on their ACAP stock following the announcement.

The physicians agreed to pay a combined total of more than $1.9 million to settle the SEC’s charges.

“These physicians made numerous purchases of ACAP shares that were detected as highly unusual when compared to their past trading patterns,” said Robert J. Burson, Senior Associate Regional Director of the SEC’s Chicago office.  “Board chairmen and other insiders should never choose greed over duty when possessing confidential information about the companies they serve.”

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan’s Southern Division, Mukkamala is a resident of Grand Blanc, Mich., and served as a member of ACAP’s board since its formation in July 2000.  He became its chairman in May 2007.  At a meeting on March 12, 2010, ACAP’s board confidentially discussed whether it should consider a potential sale of ACAP and instructed company management to evaluate whether or not to continue as an independent, stand-alone company. 

The SEC alleges that as ACAP’s board and management continued undertaking definite steps toward a sale, Mukkamala routinely disclosed material nonpublic information along the way to the other four physicians.  Between April 30 and July 7, 2010, they illegally purchased nearly $2.2 million of ACAP stock based on the confidential information that Mukkamala shared.  Mukkamala himself made a trade in the trading account of Chinmaya Mission West, a charitable organization for which he was then serving as president.  On July 8, the acquisition of ACAP by Napa, Calif.-based insurer The Doctors Company was publicly announced, and ACAP shares closed approximately 28 percent higher than the previous day’s closing price.

Without admitting or denying the allegations in the SEC’s complaint, the five physicians consented to the entry of final judgments ordering them to pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and financial penalties, and permanently enjoining them from violating Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.  Mukkamala further agreed to be barred from acting as an officer or director of a public company.

Specifically, Mukkamala agreed to pay approximately $631,000.  Mallikarjunarao Anne, a resident of Chicago, agreed to pay approximately $253,000.  Suresh Anne, a resident of Grand Blanc, Mich., agreed to pay approximately $697,000.  Katneni, a resident of Fenton, Mich., agreed to pay approximately $22,000.  Yalamanchili, a resident of Staten Island, N.Y., agreed to pay approximately $298,000.  The proposed settlement is subject to court approval.

The SEC’s case was investigated in the Chicago Regional Office by Assistant Regional Director James A. Davidson, Staff Attorney James J. Thibodeau, Staff Accountant Norman H. Jones, and Paralegal Sruthi Talluri.

The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in this matter. (Press Rel. 2012-132)

SEC Charges Orthofix International With FCPA Violations

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Texas-based medical device company Orthofix International N.V. with violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) when a subsidiary paid routine bribes referred to as “chocolates” to Mexican officials in order to obtain lucrative sales contracts with government hospitals.

The SEC alleges that Orthofix’s Mexican subsidiary Promeca S.A. de C.V. bribed officials at Mexico’s government-owned health care and social services institution Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS).  The “chocolates” came in the form of cash, laptop computers, televisions, and appliances that were provided directly to Mexican government officials or indirectly through front companies that the officials owned.  The bribery scheme lasted for several years and yielded nearly $5 million in illegal profits for the Orthofix subsidiary. 

Orthofix agreed to pay $5.2 million to settle the SEC’s charges.

“Once bribery has been likened to a box of chocolates, you know a corruptive culture has permeated your business,” said Kara Novaco Brockmeyer, Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Unit.  “Orthofix’s lax oversight allowed its subsidiary to illicitly spend more than $300,000 to sweeten the deals with Mexican officials.”

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, the bribes began in 2003 and continued until 2010.  Initially, Promeca falsely recorded the bribes as cash advances and falsified its invoices to support the expenditures.  Later, when the bribes got much larger, Promeca falsely recorded them as promotional and training costs.  Because of the bribery scheme, Promeca’s training and promotional expenses were significantly over budget.  Orthofix did launch an inquiry into these expenses, but did very little to investigate or diminish the excessive spending.  Later, upon discovery of the bribe payments through a Promeca executive, Orthofix immediately self-reported the matter to the SEC and implemented significant remedial measures.  The company terminated the Promeca executives who orchestrated the bribery scheme.

The SEC’s proposed settlement is subject to court approval.  Orthofix consented to a final judgment ordering it to pay $4,983,644 in disgorgement and more than $242,000 in prejudgment interest.  The final judgment would permanently enjoined the company from violating the books and records and internal controls provisions of the FCPA.  Orthofix also agreed to certain undertakings, including monitoring its FCPA compliance program and reporting back to the SEC for a two-year period. 

Orthofix also disclosed today in an 8-K filing that it has reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice to pay a $2.22 million penalty in a related action.

The SEC’s investigation was conducted by Carol Shau and Alka N. Patel in the Los Angeles Regional Office.  The SEC acknowledges and appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division-Fraud Section and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. (Press Rel. 2012-133)

In the Matter of Calhoun Asset Management, LLC and Krista Lynn Ward a/k/a Krista Lynn Karnezis

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) announced today that Calhoun Asset Management, LLC (Calhoun) and Krista Lynn Ward a/k/a Krista Lynn Karnezis (Ward) have agreed to settle proceedings previously instituted against them.

On December 29, 2011, the Commission instituted public administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against Calhoun and Ward for violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 203A, 204, 206(4), and 207 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (Advisers Act) and Rules 204-2(a)(16) and 206(4)-8 thereunder.

Today, the Commission issued an Order Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Sections 203(e), 203(f), and 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and Section 9(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Order). In the Order, the Commission found that Ward raised the assets managed by Calhoun, the investment adviser to two funds of funds, by grossly exaggerating Calhoun’s assets under management. The Commission also found that Ward made misleading statements about Calhoun’s due diligence process and filed numerous false Forms ADV with the Commission. In addition to making false and misleading statements, Ward failed to maintain records to support the performance that Calhoun claimed in its marketing materials.

Without admitting or denying the Commission’s findings, Calhoun and Ward agreed to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 203A, 204, 206(4), and 207 of the Advisers Act and Rules 204-2(a)(16) and 206(4)-8 thereunder.

Finally, with the exception of certain activities aimed solely at winding down Calhoun, Ward agreed to be barred from association with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent, with the right to apply for reentry after five years.

(Recycle Tech).

Recycle Tech’s stock is currently quoted on OTC Link operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. under the trading symbol “RCYT.” The Order also finds Recycle Tech has failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder while its common stock was registered with the Commission because it has not filed any of its required periodic reports since January 13, 2010, when it filed a Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending November 30, 2009.

Based on the above, Recycle Tech consented to the issuance of the Order revoking the registration of each class of Recycle Tech’s securities registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act. (Rel. 34-67378; File No. 3-14866)

In the Matter of Brian M. Campbell

Campbell.

Based on those violations, the Order temporarily suspends Segal from appearing or practicing before the Commission. If Segal does not petition to lift that suspension within thirty days after service of the Order, the suspension will become permanent pursuant to Rule 102(e)(3)(ii) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice.
