NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) has been investigating claims on behalf of investors who purchased shares of International Flavors & Fragrances ("IFF" or the "Company") (NYSE: IFF).
On October 4, 2018, IFF announced that it had completed the acquisition of Frutarom, an Israeli-based company acquired by IFF for about $7.1 billion including debt.
On August 5, 2019, after the market closed, IFF reported its second quarter 2019 financial results and announced that during the integration of Frutarom, IFF became aware of allegations that two Frutarom businesses operating in Russia and Ukraine made improper payments to representatives of a number of customers. The press release also states that "IFF promptly commenced investigations of such allegations with the assistance of outside legal and accounting firms" and that "preliminary results indicate that improper payments were made and that key members of Frutarom's senior management at the time were aware of such payments." [Emphasis added.]
Following this news, the price of IFF's common stock fell sharply in midday trading by over $20 per share, or about 14%.
