On September 20, 2017, Aurelius Value published a report entitled "MiMedx: Flying Too Close To The Sun" questioning whether MiMedx has engaged in improper "channel stuffing" in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP").  This news drove the price of MiMedx shares down over 6% to close at $12.34 on September 20, 2017.

The next day, the Company announced it received a subpoena from the SEC primarily related to channel stuffing allegations by former employees and there was a completed independent investigation into these matters.

On September 27, 2017, SeekingAlpha published another Aurelius report entitled "MiMedx:  Undisclosed Details Undermine 'Independent' Investigation'" claiming certain members of the Company's Audit Committee and its outside counsel, both of whom were involved in the completed  investigation, were not actually independent.  This news drove the price of MiMedx shares down over 3.5% during intraday trading on September 27, 2017.

"We're assessing the matters highlighted by Aurelius and others, potential improper revenue recognition and other GAAP violations, and investors' damages," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
