Company's general counsel, ethics chief, and top accountant new about payment to soon-to-be appointed PUCO chairman Sam Randazzo.

FBI agents carry boxes and bags out of the Columbus home of Public Utilities Commission of Ohio Chairman Sam Randazzo on Monday, Nov. 16, 2020.COLUMBUS, Ohio – Two top lawyers at FirstEnergy, plus the company’s most senior accountant, knew about and helped process a $4.3 million payment that the company later said was a bribe to a top state regulator, according to a newly unearthed memorandum and deposition.

In the memo and a deposition Lisowski gave last year, Lisowski said Chief Legal Officer and Senior Vice President Robert Reffner; Chief Ethics Officer Ebony Yeboah-Amankwah; and Lisowski himself were all aware of a $4.3 million payment to Randazzo that the company internally referred to as a termination payment related to a consulting contract. Both FirstEnergy and Lisowski say the company had no legal obligation make the payment ordered by Jones and Dowling.

FirstEnergy transferred the funds to Randazzo’s companies just after the new year. DeWine appointed Randazzo to the PUCO soon thereafter. Plaintiffs suing the company alleging securities fraud asked Lisowski in the deposition if he was concerned following the appointment.
