Granite Construction Incorporated (the “Company”) reached a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), subject to court approval, concluding and resolving in its entirety the SEC investigation previously disclosed by the Company. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company, without admitting or denying any allegations made by the SEC, has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $12 million and to be enjoined from violating specified provisions of the federal securities laws and rules promulgated thereunder. On August 25, 2022, the SEC filed a complaint against the Company, as well as the Company's consent to the entry of judgment in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and requested entry of judgment. The Company recorded an accrual for the full amount of the penalty in the second quarter of 2022, which was reflected in the Company’s financial results reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022. The Company fully cooperated with the SEC in its investigation into this matter.
