Case Background:
On December 27, 2018, the initial complaint in this securities class action was filed against Immunomedics, Inc. (“Immunomedics”), and certain of Immunomedics’s directors and officers, asserting violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act.
The complaint alleged that during the class period, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts. During the class period, and unbeknownst to investors, Immunomedics misled investors by stating in its United States Securities and Exchange Commission filings beginning on August 23, 2018, that, "the FDA generally will issue a notice on Form 483 if it finds issues with respect to its inspections" without disclosing to investors the fact that between August 6, 2018, and August 14, 2018 the FDA cited Immunomedics for a host of violations observed at its Morris Plains, New Jersey drug substance manufacturing facility. These violations included manipulated bioburden samples, misrepresentation of an integrity test procedure in the batch record, and backdating of batch records, such as dates of analytical results.
This is a federal securities class action brought on behalf of a class of those who purchased or otherwise acquired Immunomedics common stock between February 9, 2018 and January 17, 2019, inclusive.
