RADNOR, Pa., Oct. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaskela Law LLC has filed a shareholder class action lawsuit against Lannett Company, Inc. (: LCI) (“Lannett” or the “Company”) on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities between February 7, 2018 and August 17, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
IMPORTANT DEADLINE: Investors who purchased Lannett’s securities during the Class Period may, no later than October 26, 2018, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class.
Lannett investors with financial losses in excess of $100,000 are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC (D. Seamus Kaskela, Esq.) at (888) 715 – 1740, or [email protected], to discuss their legal rights and options, or to request a copy of the shareholder complaint filed in this action. Additional information about this action may also be found at http://kaskelalaw.com/case/lannett/.
Lannett develops, manufactures, packages, markets, and distributes drugs that address a wide range of therapeutic areas. At all relevant times, Lannett had an exclusivity agreement with its primary supplier, Jerome Stevens Pharmaceuticals (“JSP”). JSP’s products have historically accounted for over one-third of Lannett’s sales.
On August 20, 2018, Lannett disclosed that its distribution agreement with JSP will not be renewed. Following this news, shares of Lannett’s common stock fell $8.15 per share, or over 60%, to close on August 20, 2018 at $5.35.
The shareholder class action complaint alleges that defendants made a series of false and misleading statements and failed to disclose to investors during the Class Period that: (i) Lannett faced a substantial risk of the loss of its exclusivity agreement with JSP; (ii) accordingly, Lannett’s reported revenues were unsustainable, and (iii) as a result, Lannett’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. The complaint further alleges that, as a result of the foregoing, investors purchased Lannett’s securities at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period and suffered significant investment losses.
Lannett investors with financial losses in excess of $100,000 are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC to discuss their legal rights and options.
