OSI Accused of Manipulating Its Advance Image Technology Operational Test Results
Shares of OSI fell $21.40 per share, or 28%, to close at $54.89 per share on November 15, 2012, following a report by Bloomberg News that the results of an operational test in connection with the company's Advanced Imaging Technology, or body scanners, may have been knowingly manipulated by the company. OSI shares declined an additional $21.69 per share, or 33%, to close at $43.63 on December 6, 2013, when it was revealed that the U.S. Transportation Security Administration canceled a $60 million contract for OSI's carry-on bag screening equipment and threatened to ban future contracting with the Department of Homeland Security.
According to the complaint, OSI issued false and misleading statements regarding the company's business, operational, and compliance policies. In particular, the complaint charges that OSI made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that the company's:
- operational test of its Advanced Imaging Technology were manipulated;
- products were subject to disqualification for use in airport security checkpoints because of strong privacy concerns; and
- contracts with the TSA were at risk for cancellation for containing parts that directly violated the terms of those contracts.
