PAPA JOHN’S INVESTIGATION INITIATED by Former Louisiana Attorney General: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates the Officers
and Directors of Papa John’s International, Inc. - PZZA
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 Papa John’s International, Inc. (NasdaqGS: PZZA).
On July 10, 2018, public outrage over media reports that Schnatter had used a racial slur during a conference call in May 2018
resulted in his resignation as Chairman of the Board. Soon after, Schnatter publicly voiced his regret over the resignation and his
intention to oppose efforts by the Board to further limit his involvement with the Company, leading to a battle between he and the
Board (on which he still retains a seat) that is ongoing, with Schnatter recently filing suit against the Company seeking documents
related to his removal and accusing the board of acting negligently or staging a possible “coup.” Further, on July 19, 2018, a
report by Forbes highlighted “Papa John’s Toxic Culture,” stating that “Schnatter’s alleged behavior ranges from spying on
his workers to sexually inappropriate conduct, which has resulted in at least two confidential settlements,” which it based on
“interviews with 37 current and former Papa John’s employees—including numerous executives and board members.”
KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Papa John’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to Papa John’s
shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
