Summary
Xcel Energy Inc. filed an 8-K on August 13, 2002, disclosing that its Chairman, President, and CEO, Wayne H. Brunetti, and its Vice President and CFO, Edward J. McIntyre, submitted sworn statements on August 12, 2002. These statements were provided in response to an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Section 21(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The core of this filing is the affirmation by these key executives that the company's previous SEC filings are accurate and applicable. While the specific nature of the SEC's order or the broader context leading to it is not detailed in this particular 8-K, the submission of sworn statements by top executives suggests a heightened level of regulatory scrutiny. Investors should note that such actions, especially in the period around 2002, often indicate ongoing investigations or a need to formally reaffirm corporate disclosures.
