WASHINGTON AP – The former top attorney at Apple Inc. on Thursday agreed to pay $2.2 million to settle federal regulators’ charges that she altered company records to conceal improper backdating of stock options for senior executives including Steve Jobs.
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced the settlement with former Apple general counsel Nancy Heinen, whose civil trial in the case had been scheduled for next year. Heinen neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing in settling the SEC’s lawsuit, which was filed last year in federal court in San Jose, Calif.
