Charles River: SEC concluded inquiry into company, not recommeding enforcement

In a regulatory filing, Charles River (CRL) said that on May 16, 2023, the company received an inquiry from the Enforcement Division of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requesting it to voluntarily provide information, subsequently augmented with a document subpoena and additional inquiries, primarily related to the sourcing of non-human primates and related disclosures. In addition, the company’s Audit Committee retained counsel to conduct an independent investigation into certain issues raised in the investigation. On November 14, 2025, the SEC’s Division of Enforcement notified the company that it concluded its investigation and, based on the information available to the Division, it does not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the SEC against the company. Similarly, the company’s independent investigation into these matters has also concluded, with no material findings.
