The class action, filed in United States District Court, Southern District of New York, and docketed under 16-cv-06749, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Concordia securities between November 12, 2015 and August 12, 2016 inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Concordia is a specialty pharmaceutical company that purportedly owns a portfolio of branded and generic prescription products which are sold to wholesalers, hospitals and pharmacies in over 100 countries.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company was experiencing a substantial increase in market competition against the Company’s drug, Donnatal, and other products; (ii) consequently, the Company’s financial results would suffer and the Company would be forced to suspend its dividend; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Concordia’s business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On August 12, 2016, Concordia issued a press release announcing that it was lowering its 2016 guidance “to reflect the impact of unexpected competition on several products in our North America segment, and current foreign currency exchange rates.” The Company also announced that Adrian de Saldanha, Concordia’s Chief Financial Officer, was leaving the Company, and that Concordia’s Board unanimously agreed to suspend the Company’s $0.075 quarterly dividend.

On this news, Concordia’ stock price fell $6.33 per share, or 38%, to close at $10.03 per share on August 12, 2016, on unusually heavy trading volume.
