Since then, things only appear to have got worse. In 2019, David Lufkin, the former head of sales, pleaded guilty to 11 counts of bribery. He was found guilty of another three counts in January this year, which ultimately led to the stock sell-off on Monday this week.
Why? Because beyond the reputational damage, this latest conviction led the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) to suspend Petrofac from competing for any new contracts indefinitely. In other words, Petrofac just lost access to one of its key growth markets.
Cannot tender for any new contracts!!
