The suspension was lifted after fourteen months.

Christian Dupont resigned as chief executive and from the board, permanently, and is excluded by name from any role, formal or informal, paid or unpaid, in any entity holding a federal contract, for a period of years.

The company retained an independent monitor at its own expense for three years, who reports twice a year, and who has authority to review any marketing material before it is issued.

The company implemented a written ethics and compliance programme, trained every employee, and established a reporting line.

Every piece of marketing material the company had issued since 2021 was withdrawn and reissued.

And Robert Dupont, at seventy-eight, came out of retirement and signed the agreement as interim chief executive.
