L3Harris Technologies, the company that overhauled a Qatari plane now used as Air Force One, has replaced Christopher Kubasik as chairman and chief executive after an investigation determined he violated the defense contractor’s code of conduct. Kubasik’s alleged conduct didn’t involve and has no impact on the Melbourne, Fla., company’s financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance, L3Harris said Monday. Explanation: The company didn’t give details on when it received a report of the potential violation.

It’s always noteworthy when a CEO of a multibillion-dollar company agrees to resign without severance and other perks. L3Harris only said that an investigation found the CEO had violated the company’s code of conduct and that his alleged behavior wouldn’t impact the company’s financial performance, business relationships and operations. The company may have reasons to stay silent, but the secrecy could also be a bad sign—if it continues and if the company doesn’t discuss Kubasik’s actions even with its employees, according to Guido Palazzo, a professor at Switzerland’s Université de Lausanne and co-author of last year’s book “The Dark Pattern: The Hidden Dynamics of Corporate Scandals.”
