NEW YORK, Aug. 08, 2017 -- Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of purchasers of Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. (NASDAQ:OCUL) securities between May 5, 2017 and July 6, 2017 (the “Class Period”), inclusive.
Investors who have incurred losses in Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. are urged to contact the firm immediately at [email protected] or (800) 575-0735 or (212) 545-4774. You may obtain additional information concerning the action on our website, www.whafh.com.
If you have purchased Ocular Therapeutix, Inc., you may, no later than September 5, 2017, request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class.
The filed Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Company made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:
- Ocular Therapeutix’s management has been misleading investors about DEXTENZA manufacturing issues, including that more than 50% of lots manufactured by Ocular Therapeutix contain bad product;
- such manufacturing issues could imperil the approval of DEXTENZA by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); and
- as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On July 6, 2017, Seeking Alpha published an article claiming that Ocular had been misleading investors about manufacturing issues with its product, DEXTENZA, including the claim that more than 50% of the lots manufactured by Ocular contained bad product.
Following this news, shares of Ocular Therapeutix fell $3.06 over two trading days, or over 30%, to close at $7.12 per share on July 7, 2017.
On July 11, 2017, following the close of trading, Ocular Therapeutix received a complete response letter (CRL) from the FDA for Dextenza, saying it wasn’t able to approve the New Drug Application (NDA) in current form. As a result of this disclosure, the shares traded as low as $5.50 per share on July 12th.
