The Alexander Firm P.C., A Professional Law Corporation, announces that it is investigating claims for breach of fiduciary duties concerning Net1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (“Net1” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:UEPS).

Net1 holds a non-exclusive worldwide license to the Universal Electronic Payment System (“UEPS”) which provides payment solutions and transaction processing services for various industries in South Africa, Korea, Europe and internationally. The Company commercializes the smart card based service through alliances with banks, card services, and retail organizations. The investigation is related to allegations that the Company and certain of its executive officers misrepresented or failed to disclose that the Company’s practices to secure contracts in South Africa were in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and, as a result, that the Company’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On December 4, 2012, Net1 disclosed that the U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, had begun an investigation into whether Net1 and its subsidiaries, including certain of their employees and agents and other possibly affiliated persons and entities, violated provisions of the FCPA and other U.S. federal criminal laws by engaging in a scheme to make corrupt payments to officials of the Government of South Africa. Then, on November 29, 2013, Net1 disclosed that the Constitutional Court of South Africa ruled that the tender process followed by the South African Social Security Agency in awarding a contract to Net1’s wholly owned subsidiary Cash Paymaster Services (Proprietary) Limited was constitutionally invalid.
