Case Status:    DISMISSED  
—On or around 11/10/2014 (Notice of voluntarily dismissal)
Current/Last Presiding Judge:  
Hon. L. Felipe Restrepo

Filing Date: August 27, 2014

According to the law firm press release, Lannett Company, Inc. develops, manufactures, packages, markets, and distributes generic versions of branded pharmaceutical products in the United States. The Company sells its pharmaceutical products to generic pharmaceutical distributors, drug wholesalers, chain drug retailers, private label distributors, mail-order pharmacies, other pharmaceutical manufacturers, managed care organizations, hospital buying groups, governmental entities, and health maintenance organizations.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company was fixing, maintaining, and controlling prices of digoxin in violation of Connecticut antitrust laws; (2) the Company was allocating and dividing customers and territories with competitors relating to the sale of digoxin in violation of Connecticut antitrust laws; (3) the Company's anticompetitive practices subjected Lannett to heightened regulatory scrutiny, including possible investigation by the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General ("CTAG"); and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Lannett's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On July 16, 2014, the Company issued a press release and filed a Form 8-K with the SEC, announcing that the Company received interrogatories and a subpoena from the State of Connecticut Office of the Attorney General concerning its investigation into the Company's pricing and customer division of digoxin.

On this news, shares of Lannett fell $8.05 or over 17%, on unusually heavy volume, to close at $39.04 on June 16, 2014.

On September 29, 2014, the Plaintiff filed a Notice voluntarily dismissing this case without prejudice.
