Ericsson comments on recent media reports on questions concerning corruption
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
In March 2013, Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) received a voluntary request from US
Authorities to answer a number of questions relating to Ericsson's operations,
something we have also confirmed to media in 2013. Ericsson cooperates with US
Authorities to answer these and additional questions.
While we strive to at all times conduct our business in compliance with
applicable laws, matters do arise from time to time as a result of the global
nature of our business.
We will not provide any detailed comments on the request as such, but can say
that it relates to Ericsson's anti-corruption program and questions related to
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Ericsson cooperates with US Authorities and
works diligently to answer the questions.
As a listed company, we always follow the requirements to publically disclose
any information about events that would have a material impact on the company or
its finances. Should such materiality arise, Ericsson will disclose information
in accordance with regulatory requirements.
