A U.S. law firm, Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of American shareholders of Infosys on whether the New York Stock Exchange-listed firm and “certain of its officers and/or directors” complied with federal securities laws, according to a statement posted on its website.
On August 18, 2017, Infosys announced the resignation of its chief executive officer, Vishal Sikka. Mr. Sikka's resignation followed criticism by the company’s founders of certain decisions by its board, including executive compensation and severance payouts.
“Sikka's resignation letter stated, in part: "Over the last many months and quarters, we have all been besieged by false, baseless, malicious and increasingly personal attacks"; and "This continuous drumbeat of distractions and negativity . . . inhibits our ability to make positive change and stay focused on value creation,” according to the statement.
