Summary
NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) announced on October 31, 2007, via an 8-K filing, that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has formally terminated its investigation into the company's historical stock option granting practices. The SEC staff recommended no enforcement action against NVIDIA in relation to this investigation. This development is significant for investors as it brings closure to a period of uncertainty and potential legal/regulatory risk.
