The original complaint alleges OrthoLogic Corp. develops, manufactures and markets proprietary, technologically advanced orthopaedic devices designed to enhance the healing of diseased, damaged or degenerated musculoskeletal tissue. The company's generates a majority of its revenues from the sale of its OrthoLogic 1000, a bone growth stimulation device, approved by the FDA as a healing device for specified parts of the human skeletal system. Specifically, the complaint alleges that OrthoLogic Corp. and certain of its officers and directors made certain public statements that were false and misleading because they failed to disclose certain adverse information. In particular, the complaint alleges that certain of the company's officers and directors failed to disclose (i) that the claimed healing rates of the OrthoLogic 1000 were not supported by the results of clinical data provided by the company to the FDA, (ii) that members of the company's sales force were routinely misrepresenting the approved uses and efficacy of the OrthoLogic 1000, and (iii) that the company had received a warning letter from the FDA as the result of an investigation by the FDA of the company's sales practices. The complaint alleges that the false and misleading statements were part of a scheme by the defendants which enabled various of the company's officers and directors to sell stock at artificially inflated prices. After this information was disclosed to the market, the company's stock price allegedly fell 37%. Based on these allegations, the complaint asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
