Document Summary
On September 9, 2024, the SEC instituted settled cease-and-desist proceedings against Smart for Life, Inc., stating: "As a regular part of its business, Smart for Life enters into separation agreements
with certain employees who leave the company. A separation agreement is a contract between an
employer and a departing employee documenting the rights and responsibilities of both parties
incidental to the ending of the employment relationship. . . [T]hese provisions created impediments to participation in the Commission's
whistleblower program by having the former employees forego the critically important financial
incentives that are intended to encourage persons to communicate directly with the Commission
staff about possible securities law violations."
