PolarityTE purports to be a commercial-stage biotechnology and regenerative biomaterials company focused on discovering, designing and developing a range of regenerative tissue products and biomaterials for the fields of medicine, biomedical engineering, and material sciences. The Company's key development is SkinTE, which is intended to be used by physicians or other appropriate healthcare providers for homologous uses of skin tissues/integument. Patients who have suffered from an event, disease, process or acquired deficit that results in the functional loss or void of skin/integument systems can receive SkinTE as an adjunct and/or in place of split-thickness skin grafting, full-thickness grafting, temporizing skin coverage and/or skin substitute products.

On April 7, 2017,PolarityTEannounced the closing of a transaction through which the Company purchased Dr. Denver Lough's ("Lough") pending Patent #14/954,335 (the "Patent") in exchange for over $104 million ofPolarityTEstock.

Just one week prior to the closing of the transaction, on March 31, 2017, Dr. Lough received a notice of non-final rejection of the Patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO"). The USPTO mailed Dr. Lough a letter indicating the non-final rejection of the Patent on April 7, 2017—the same day that the transaction closed.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, PolarityTE made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the USPTO issued a notice of non-final rejection of the Patent before PolarityTE acquired it in exchange for over $104 million of Company stock in April 2017; (ii) the USPTO issued a final rejection of the Patent on June 4, 2018; and (iii) as a result, PolarityTE's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On June 25, 2018, Citron Research published a report exposing the Defendants' failure to disclose the USPTO's March 31, 2017 notice of non-final rejection of the Patent and highlighting the USPTO's June 4, 2018, final rejection of the Patent.

On this news, PolarityTE's share price fell $10.59, or 27.3%, to close at $28.14 on June 26, 2018.
