Date Filed: | Nov-11-09 |
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: | Jan-10-10 |
Court: | Eastern District of Pennsylvania |
Allegations: |
The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants misled investors regarding the status of Hemispherx's New Drug Application ("NDA") for Ampligen with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Specifically, defendants failed to disclose that the FDA had requested several reports from the Company before the NDA could even be considered, thus delaying the possible approval of Ampligen by several months at a minimum. Then, on November 2, 2009, when the Company belatedly disclosed this information, the price of Hemispherx's securities dropped from $1.45 on the previous trading day to close at $1.13 on November 3, 2009, a drop of more than 20%.
If you acquired the securities of the defendants during the Class Period you may, no later than the Lead Plaintiff Deadline shown above, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff through counsel of your choice. You may also choose to remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff must meet certain requirements.
