According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Aratana did not have manufacturing contracts in place sufficient to support manufacturing of ENTYCE at a commercial scale; (2) consequently, ENTYCE was not likely to be commercially available until late 2017; (3) accordingly, Aratana had misled investors with respect to the likely timeline for a commercial launch of ENTYCE; and (4) as a result, Aratana’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 7, 2017.
