In

May 2020

, Leidos acquired the Security Detection and Automation (“SD&A”) business of L3 Harris Technologies for

$1 billion

, representing to Company investors that the highly leveraged deal would help Leidos achieve double-digit growth, 15% margins,

$500 million

in revenues, and boost international sales. Then, on

February 16, 2021

, Spruce Point Capital Management (“Spruce Point”) published a report concluding that Leidos had “wasted”

$1 billion

on the SD&A acquisition. The Spruce Point report alleges that Leidos is “potentially covering up at least

$100m

of fictitious sales, mischaracterizing

$355

–

$367m

of international revenue” and that also “concealing numerous product defects from investors, including faulty explosive detection systems at airports, ports and borders.” The Spruce Point report further asserts that the Company’s management may be intentionally inflating certain of Leido’s financial metrics, including operating cash flow and organic sales growth, to obscure strains from investors. For the foregoing reasons, among others, Spruce Point “an immediate Board investigation into the SD&A transaction and the dismissal of CEO [

Roger A.] Krone

and CFO [

James C.] Reagan

.” Following publication of the Spruce Point report, Leidos’s stock price fell sharply, damaging investors.
