The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fined Charter Communications $25 million for violating internal accounting control requirements related to stock buybacks.
The SEC said Charter, whose services are branded as Spectrum, approved stock buybacks that used nonconforming plans that did not comply with Rule 10b5-1, which offers protections for companies and individuals from insider trading liability under certain conditions, according to the agency’s order released Tuesday. The SEC said the company’s board of directors authorized stock buybacks only if they complied with the rule.
Charter neither admitted nor denied the allegations and agreed to cease and desist from further violations.
