Then, on March 3, 2020, the Bruker announced that it was delaying the filing of its 2019 Annual Report “pending completion of the internal investigation and the Company’s ongoing assessment of the impact on financial reporting and internal controls, including disclosure controls and procedures.” On this news, the price of Company’s shares declined precipitously, causing significant financial losses to investors.
