INSYS is a commercial-stage specialty pharmaceutical company that develops and commercializes innovative supportive care products, primarily intended to assist cancer patients in coping with the symptoms of their disease and treatment or therapy. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business and operations. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose the following: (1) the Company had engaged in illegal and/or unethical off label marketing of Subsys®; (2) the Company was exposed to potential fines and other disciplinary actions as a result of its Subsys marketing practices; and (3) as a result, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On December 12, 2013, after the market closed, the Company announced that "it had received a subpoena from the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") in connection with an investigation of potential violations involving HHS programs. The subpoena requests documents regarding Subsys, including INSYS' sales and marketing practices relating to this product." On this news, Insys shares fell $7.73 per share to close at $37.55 per share, a one-day drop of over 17%, on high volume.
On May 8, 2014, a local Michigan news source published an article detailing charges against a Michigan doctor who allegedly accounted for 20% of total nationwide Subsys prescriptions. The doctor was charged by federal prosecutors with defrauding Medicare, private insurers, and prescribing unnecessary medications to patients. On this news, Insys shares fell $6.64 per share, or over 16%, to close on May 9, 2014 at $32.67 per share, on extremely high volume.
On May 11, 2014, Bronte Capital, an analyst firm, published a report further highlighting the claims against the Michigan doctor and the problems attendant to INSYS' marketing of Subsys, including allegedly illegal off-label marketing. On this news, INSYS shares fell a further $5.04 per share, or 15%, to close on May 12, 2014 at $27.63 per share.
If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than July 14, 2014, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as "lead plaintiff." Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Ryan & Maniskas, LLP or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.
