Dismissal of Putative Class Action Lawsuit
As previously reported by Immunomedics, Inc. (the Company) in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), including the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, a putative class action lawsuit, styled Nasyrova v. Immunomedics, Inc. (the Lawsuit), was filed on February 27, 2014, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the District Court). The Lawsuit alleged that the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors failed to disclose and/or made material misstatements in the Companys public filings relating to the termination of the Companys license agreement with Nycomed GmbH relating to the Companys veltuzumab product candidate (the Nycomed Agreement).
The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants failed to make timely disclosure concerning a dispute relating to a delay in the development of veltuzumab. The complaint alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The lead plaintiff and lead counsel thereafter filed an Amended Class Action Complaint on August 8, 2014. Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on September 22, 2014. On January 29, 2015 the District Court granted the Companys motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. The District Courts opinion concluded that the Company had no duty to disclose issues raised with Nycomed GmbH prior to the termination of the Nycomed Agreement. The District Court granted Plaintiffs thirty days from the date of the opinion in order to file an amended complaint. On February 27, 2015, a second amended complaint (the Second Amended Complaint) was filed by the plaintiff alleging failure to disclose information related to the status of the agreement. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on April 13, 2015.
On July 15, 2015, the District Court issued an Order and Opinion dismissing with prejudice the Second Amended Complaint.
