Brooge Energy Limited Announces Settlement with the SEC

 

December 22, 2023 –As an update to our prior disclosures, without admitting or denying any violation or wrongdoing, Brooge Energy Limited (the “Company”) has reached a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to alleged fraudulent accounting and offering conduct by the Company and two former officers. Pursuant to the SEC administrative order, which was entered today, and which centers on financial statements that have since been restated by the Company, the Company will pay a civil money penalty in the amount of $5,000,000. The Company also agreed to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of certain provisions under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Two former officers of the Company resolved related SEC charges without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings.

 

The administrative order entered today resolves the SEC’s proceedings related to the alleged historical wrongdoing by the Company. In approving the order, the SEC considered “remedial acts undertaken by” the Company “and cooperation afforded to the Commission staff.” The administrative order reflecting the settlement is available at 33-11260.pdf (sec.gov).
