34-60005 29-May-2009 Administrative Proceeding
Corrected Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order
On May 29, 2009, the SEC instituted settled cease-and-desist proceedings against United Industrial Corporation. The SEC stated: "Beginning in late 2001, and continuing through 2002, UIC, through its indirect, wholly owned subsidiary ACL Technologies, Inc. (“ACL”), made multiple payments to one of its foreign agents in connection with a military aircraft depot ACL was building for the Egyptian Air Force (“EAF”) in Cairo, Egypt. Thomas Wurzel, ACL’s former President and a U.S. citizen and resident, authorized the payments to the agent while he knew or consciously disregarded the high probability that the agent would offer, provide or promise at least a portion of such payments to active EAF officials for the purpose of influencing such officials to obtain or retain business for UIC through ACL."
