The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating Activision Blizzard over the gaming company’s handling of allegations of workplace sexual harassment and gender discrimination, the company said.

The SEC has issued subpoenas to the company, as well as several current and former employees, regarding disclosures on employment matters and related issues, the company said in a statement.

Activision Blizzard said it is “confident in its prior disclosures” and is cooperating with the SEC’s investigation.

“While we continue to work in good faith with regulators to address and resolve past workplace issues, we also continue to move ahead with our own initiatives to ensure that we are the very best place to work. We remain committed to addressing all workplace issues in a forthright and prompt manner,” said Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick.

The SEC declined to comment on a possible investigation.
