The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors. On May 3, 2018, the SEC announced an enforcement action against Shawn Carter, the entertainer known as "Jay-Z." This SEC enforcement action is part of an investigation of potential securities law violations in relation to Iconix. The SEC states that Iconix paid Carter at least $200 million to purchase intangible assets related to his RocaWear clothing company, then Iconix subsequently underwent a write-down on that investment of $169 million in March 2016, and a second write-down of an additional $34 million in March 2018. The SEC seeks Carter's testimony about his joint ventures with Iconix among other topics. Based on the news of the SEC enforcement action, shares of Iconix fell more than 7.8%, or over $.05 per share to close at $0.59 per share on May 3, 2018.
