Background on the Tenet Securities Class Litigation

Tenet, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, primarily operates acute care hospitals and related healthcare facilities.

The action alleges that Tenet misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that it perpetrated an illegal conspiracy to defraud the United States and to make illegal kickback payments for patient referrals to certain Tenet hospitals between 2000 and 2013.

The conspiracy involved Hispanic Medical Management, d/b/a “Clinica de la Mama” (or “Clinica”), a Georgia corporation that operated clinics for pregnant Hispanic women, many of whom were undocumented. Clinica received over $12 million in kickbacks from some executives at Tenet hospitals for illegally referring its patients to the hospitals. The hospitals, in turn, improperly billed and received over $146 million in reimbursements from Medicaid and Medicare for services provided to the unlawfully referred patients.

On August 1, 2016, Tenet announced after the close of the market that it had reached an agreement in principle with the United States government to resolve the civil and criminal investigations of the conspiracy. The agreement provided that Tenet would pay a nearly $514 million settlement, enter into a non-prosecution agreement (“NPA”), and that two Tenet subsidiaries would plead guilty to a single-count indictment, among other terms. On this news, the price of Tenet’s common stock fell $1.34 per share, or 4.64%, from its previous closing price, to close at $27.57 per share on August 2, 2016.

On October 3, 2016, Tenet announced that the settlement was final and revealed details of the NPA. On this news, Tenet’s stock price fell $0.91 per share, or 4.02%, from its previous closing price, to close at $21.75 per share on October 3, 2016.
