Ryan & Maniskas, LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Unilife Corporation

WAYNE, Pa., June 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan & Maniskas, LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of Unilife Corporation. ("Unilife" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: UNIS) common stock during the period between February 3, 2014 and May 23, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period").

Unilife shareholders may, no later than July 25, 2016, move the Court for appointment as a lead plaintiff of the Class.  If you purchased shares of Unilife and would like to learn more about these claims or if you wish to discuss these matters and have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights, contact Richard A. Maniskas, Esquire toll-free at (877) 316-3218 or to sign up online, visit: www.rmclasslaw.com/cases/unis.

On May 8, 2016, the Company disclosed that it was postponing its earnings conference call, originally scheduled for May 9, 2016, due to the discovery of violations of Company policies and procedures and possible violations of laws and regulations by the Company's "former Chief Executive Officer" and by the "former Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors who resigned in 2015." The Company also announced that it was investigating the issues' potential impact on financial reporting and internal controls over financial reporting, related to the Company's previously-issued financial statements, current interim financial information, and management's certifications.  Finally, the Company disclosed that it expected to delay filing its quarterly Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2016.

On this news, the Company's stock price fell $1.50 per share, or more than 29%, to close at $3.60 per share on May 9, 2016, on unusually heavy trading volume.

If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than July 25, 2016, 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.
