Super Micro Computer ( SMCI ) shares fell 26% in trading Friday after the company placed two employees on administrative leave and terminated a contractor, effective immediately, following the indictment of all three by US prosecutors for allegedly conspiring to commit export-control violations.

The company said it was informed by the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York that it charged its board member and senior vice president of business development, Yih-Shyan Liaw, its sales manager in Taiwan, Ruei-Tsang Chang, and contractor Ting-Wei Sun.

Super Micro Computer ( SMCI ) said it hasn't been named as a defendant in the indictment and is cooperating fully with the investigation.
