ASSERTIO’S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT

In July 2023, Assertio acquired Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Spectrum"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on novel and targeted oncology, along with Spectrum's injection asset Rolvedon. In a press release announcing the closing of the acquisition, Assertio's CEO stated, "[w]e look forward to building on the successful early results in the [Rolvedon] Injection launch for the remainder of 2023, driving the business toward [its] goal of accretive contribution to our Adjusted EPS and operating cash flow in 2024."

On August 3, 2023, Zydus Lifesciences Limited ("Zydus"), a generic pharmaceutical company, received approval from the FDA to manufacture and market 50mg indomethacin suppositories, the generic version of Assertio's Indocin Suppositories. Specifically, the FDA granted Zydus 180-day Competitive Generic Therapies exclusivity to market the product. Following the FDA's decision, Assertio withdrew its 2023 financial outlook previously issued in May 2023.

Following this news, Assertio's stock price fell $2.44 per share, or 45.6%, to close at $2.91 per share on August 4, 2023.

Then, on November 8, 2023, Assertio issued a press release announcing its Q3 2023 financial results. In the results, Assertio reported Q3 non-GAAP earnings-per-share of $0.01, missing consensus estimates by $0.09, and revenue of $35.63 million, missing consensus estimates by $14.8 million. Assertio’s CEO called the Q3 results "disappointing," noting that "the loss of Indocin exclusivity and Rolvedon results below expectations [drove] significant charges to our net income." Assertio also indicated that “certain aspects” of Assertio’s July 31, 2023 acquisition of Spectrum "may not be everything we initially expected."

Following this news, Assertio's stock price fell $0.92 per share, or 43.19%, to close at $1.21 per share on November 9, 2023.

WHAT CAN I DO?

Assertio investors may, no later than March 5, 2024, move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff for the class, through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages Assertio investors who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information. The class action complaint against Assertio, Shapiro v. Assertio Holdings, Inc., et al., Case No. 24-cv-00169, is filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
