GUESS? INVESTIGATION INITIATED by Former Louisiana Attorney General: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates the Officers and
Directors of Guess?, Inc. - GES
Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC
(“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Guess?, Inc. (NYSE:GES).
In February 2018, sexual harassment allegations by actress and Guess model Kate Upton against Guess Co-founder, Chairman and
Chief Creative Officer, Paul Marciano, received widespread media attention but were denied by both the Company and Marciano, who
had previously served as CEO until 2015.
On June 11, 2018, the Company reported the results of its investigation of the allegations (which it stated “included claims
of…unwanted advances including kissing and groping”) but did so in a vague and inconclusive manner. For example, that “[m]any of
the allegations could not be corroborated” without specifying the ones that were corroborated, and that “Marciano exercised poor
judgment in his communications and in placing himself in situations in which plausible allegations of improper conduct could, and
did, arise” while at the same time admitting that it paid $500,000 to settle five claims of “inappropriate conduct” by Marciano and
that he had resigned as Executive Chairman, but would remain on the Board and also as Chief Creative Officer until the end of his
employment agreement in January 2019.
KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Guess?’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to Guess?’s
shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
