or contact Reed Kathrein, who is leading the firm’s investigation, by calling 510-725-3000 or emailing [email protected].
Beginning in late 2014, MNK allegedly made assurances to investors that its drug, Acthar, produces sustainable revenues that were mostly attributable to sources other than Medicare and Medicaid.
However, on November 16, 2016, a Citron Research report revealed that the percentage of Acthar 2014 and 2015 revenues attributable to Medicare alone was over 45% and 48%, respectively. Citron also reported that the total percentage of Acthar 2014 and 2015 revenues attributable to both Medicare and Medicaid was over 60% and 61%, respectively. This news drove the price of MNK shares down over 18%.
Then, on January 18, 2017, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission announced that MNK would pay $100 million to settle charges that Acthar revenues were the product of an illegal monopoly. This news drove the price of MNK down over 5%.
“We’re evaluating management’s knowledge of facts undermining the Defendants’ assurances to investors,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding MNK should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new SEC whistleblower program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
