SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. shares surged after the company struck a plea deal to resolve the criminal case against it, removing uncertainty that had been hanging over the stock for many months.
The settlement means the company will plead guilty to one fraud charge and submit to three years on probation and pay a $280-million fine. The stock-market value of the company went up more than $800-million in response, as the share price gained 19 per cent to close at $28.70 in Toronto.
