Background on the Indivior Securities Class Litigation
Indivior, incorporated and headquartered in the United Kingdom, together with its subsidiaries, develops, manufactures, and sells buprenorphine-based prescription drugs for the treatment of opioid dependence.
The action alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Indivior and its executives engaged in an illicit nationwide scheme to increase prescriptions of Suboxone Film; (2) the Company illegally obtained billions of dollars in revenue from Suboxone Film prescriptions by deceiving health care providers and health care benefit programs; (3) Indivior would face felony charges as a consequence of the above misconduct; and (4) due to the foregoing, defendants’ statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
On April 9, 2019, the United States Department of Justice filed an indictment asserting criminal charges against Indivior related to the Company’s conduct in the course of marketing Suboxone Film. The indictment extensively detailed the fraudulent marketing scheme, incorporating numerous examples of misconduct, including one count of conspiracy to commit mail, wire, and health care fraud, one count of health care fraud, four counts of mail fraud, and twenty-two counts of wire fraud. On this news, the price of Indivior American Depositary Receipts (“ADR”) dropped $4.48, 66.1% from the previous closing price of $6.78, to close at $2.30 per ADR on April 10, 2019, on extremely elevated trading volume.
