SEC Investigation Update

Cavco Industries, Inc. (Cavco or the Company) is providing an update on its involvement in the ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation involving trading in the securities of other public companies, as previously disclosed. The Company disclosed its first contacts about this matter in November 2018 and has since disclosed, among other things, its ongoing cooperation with the enforcement staff of the SEC's Los Angeles office, the departure of former Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson Joseph Stegmayer, and the independent investigation of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, whose results were shared in early 2019 with the SEC staff, the Company's listing exchange and its auditors. Since that time, the Company has also appointed a new Chief Executive Officer, a new General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, and several new Board members, created a standing Legal and Compliance Oversight Committee of the Board, and completed, with the assistance of market-leading experts, an extensive overhaul of its compliance programs.

Earlier this week, the Company began settlement negotiations with the SEC staff in connection with the matter, though not pursuant to a Wells Notice or formal recommendation. The Company is hopeful that an agreeable settlement will be reached in the coming months.

Also earlier this week, the SEC staff issued a Wells Notice to Dan Urness, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, in connection with its investigation, noting that it intends to recommend an enforcement action against him. Rather than have this be a distraction to the Company, Mr. Urness has decided to go on leave to focus on his response to the Wells Notice.

Paul Bigbee, Cavco’s Chief Accounting Officer since June 2020, will lead the Company’s work as principal financial officer in completing its upcoming quarterly filing for the period ending September 26, 2020. The Company has informed its auditors of record and expects to make that filing on time in October and will update this information on the investigation as appropriate.

Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Bigbee, 52, was Vice President, Financial Audit (2018 to 2019) for Caesars Entertainment in Las Vegas, Nevada. From 2006 to 2018, he held various positions of increasing responsibility at Starwood Hotels & Resorts in Scottsdale, Arizona, including: Controller, Global Sales & Marketing; Global Internal Audit Leader; Corporate Audit/Timeshare; and Senior Director, Financial Reporting and Development Support.
