("MiMedx" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MDXG) and certain of its officers.  The class action, filed in United States District Court, Southern District of New York, and docketed under 13-CIV-6328, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of MiMedx between October 26, 2011 and September 4, 2013 both dates inclusive (the "Class Period").

MiMedx is a medical device company.  The Company is focused on biomaterials for soft tissue repair, such as tendons, ligaments, and cartilage, as well as other biomaterial based products for other medical applications.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company was in violation of the Public Health Service Act by unlawfully manufacturing and marketing certain unapproved biologics products; and (2) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On September 4, 2013, the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") posted on its website an "Untitled Letter" sent to MiMedx on August 28, 2013, which stated that MiMedx's Surgical Biologics unit violated the Public Health Service Act by unlawfully manufacturing and marketing drugs at one of its plants, thereby market's unapproved biologics products.  On this news, MiMedx securities declined $2.21 per share or more than 36%, to close at $3.85 per share on September 4, 2013.
