Whole Foods says SEC concludes message board probe
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Whole Foods Market (WFMI.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Friday that Securities and Exchange Commission staffers have concluded a probe into its chief executive's anonymous Web chat room messages about then-rival Wild Oats Markets and recommended no action be taken.
Whole Foods said in July 2007 it had received an SEC inquiry related CEO John Mackey's anonymous postings on a Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) chat forum. Mackey for years used an alias when he posted positive comments about Whole Foods and critical comments about rival Wild Oats, which his company later acquired.
