On November 1, 2011, Diamond Foods announced that it was postponing a potential $2.35 billion acquisition of the Proctor & Gamble subsidiary Pringles to allow the Company to complete an internal accounting investigation. The Company’s press release stated that Diamond Foods’ Audit Committee Chairman received an external communication questioning the timing of certain payments to walnut growers. Allegedly, the payments were timed to make fiscal year 2011 costs appear lower than they actually were. One source estimates that the payments were worth as much as $50 million, or 50% of the Company’s operating income in fiscal year ended July 31, 2011.

On the news, Diamond Foods shares dropped approximately 22% to close at $51.87 per share on November 2, 2011. The Company’s share price continued to decline over the following days, reaching as low as $39.28 per share on November 7, 2011.
