SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Excess Of $100,000 Investing In Novo Nordisk A/S To Contact The Firm Before Lead Plaintiff Deadline

NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2017 -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in Novo Nordisk A/S (“Novo Nordisk” or the “Company”) (NYSE:NVO) of the March 13, 2017 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company and certain officers.

The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of all those who purchased Novo Nordisk American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) between April 30, 2015 and October 27, 2016 (the “Class Period”).  The case, LEHIGH COUNTY EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM v. NOVO NORDISK A/S et al, No. 2:17-cv-00209 was filed on January 11, 2017.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by reporting materially false and misleading earnings and forecasts.  The aforementioned reported earnings and forecasts were inflated through the collusive price fixing of the Company’s insulin drugs.  Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that the Company misrepresented and concealed the true extent of the pricing pressures it was experiencing from pharmacy benefit managers. Investors began to learn the truth regarding Novo Nordisk’s business through a series of corrective disclosures, which negatively impacted the price of the Company’s ADRs.
