Update on Legacy
November 30, 2020
The Deferred Prosecution Agreement SBM Offshore
signed with the United States Department of Justice on November 29,
2017 includes, among other things, an obligation to report on the
status of the Company’s compliance program. The Company confirms
that this three-year period has now ended, without extension or
other conditions.
In Switzerland, three of the Company’s
subsidiaries received a notification from the Bundesanwaltschaft in
Bern. It concerns a suspicion that from 2005 till 2012 these
subsidiaries failed to take the necessary measures to prevent the
execution of corrupt payments during said period. The notification
refers to the legacy settlements the company concluded in the
Netherlands (2014) and Brazil (2018) as well as the Deferred
Prosecution Agreement with the United States. The suspicion
regarding the compliance controls shortcoming relate to payments
covered by these agreements.
Erik Lagendijk, Chief Governance and Compliance
Officer said: “The completion of our reporting to the Department of
Justice marks the strength of the control measures the Company put
in place. We did not expect this development in Switzerland as
Swiss authorities have been involved in the matter from the time of
the settlement in the Netherlands in 2014. We will engage with the
Swiss public prosecutor and seek clarification.”
