Eastern District of Pennsylvania Consolidated Shareholder Class Actions

As previously reported, various putative shareholder class action complaints had been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company, its chief executive officer and chief financial officer at the relevant time, its directors at the relevant time, and the investment banks who served as underwriters in the May 2018 follow-on public offering of the Company (the “Underwriters”). These complaints alleged violations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These various actions were consolidated by the Court into one action (the “Consolidated Action”), and the Court granted the Motion to Transfer filed by the Company and its former chief executive officer, and transferred the Consolidated Action to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Docket No. 19-cv-04565. On November 20, 2019, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, and defendants filed motions to dismiss on February 3, 2020. The Court has not yet ruled on the motions to dismiss. The parties intend to participate in a private mediation on February 27, 2020.

As previously reported, a putative shareholder class action complaint was filed against the Company, its chief executive officer and chief financial officer at the relevant time, its directors at the relevant time, and the Underwriters, in the Court of Common Pleas, Chester County, Pennsylvania, Docket No. 2019-04821-MJ. The complaint alleged violations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
