Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously disclosed in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 of Belden Inc. (the "Company"), the Company concluded that there was a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, related to the recognition of certain revenue at its Grass Valley business. The Securities and Exchange Commission is conducting an investigation related to the material weakness, with which the Company is fully cooperating. The Company is not able to predict when or how the investigation will be concluded, although the Company believes that its accounting, as reflected in its audited financial statements for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and in the subsequent quarterly financial statements, is appropriate and does not believe the outcome of the investigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company.
