SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Notifies Investors of Class Action Against Kitov Pharmaceuticals Holdings LTD (KTOV) & Lead Plaintiff Deadline: April 10, 2017

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2017 -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Kitov Pharmaceuticals Holdings LTD (“Kitov” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:KTOV) and certain of its officers, on behalf of a class who purchased Kitov American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) pursuant and/or tradeable to the Company’s initial public offering on or about November 20, 2015 (the “IPO”) and/or on the open market between November 20, 2015 and February 3, 2017, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm’s site: www.bgandg.com/ktov.

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

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, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Kitov and its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) Isaac Israel published misleading information concerning the conduct of the Company’s clinical trials for its lead drug candidate KIT-302; and (2) consequently, Kitov’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. 

On February 6, 2017, Calcalist, an Israeli publication, reported that Kitov’s CEO Isaac Israel had been detained and questioned by the Israeli Securities Authority for allegedly publishing misleading information about Kitov’s recent clinical trial.  Following this news, Kitov stock dropped $0.33 per share, or 11.46%, to close at $2.55 on February 6, 2017.

On February 7, 2017, the NASDAQ stopped Kitov’s ADRs trading.  That same day, Kitov informed investors in a press release, of the ISA’s investigation into its public disclosures regarding KIT-302.
