Mylan N.V. is a global generic and specialty pharmaceuticals company.
According to the law firm press release, the lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Mylan N.V. and Mylan Inc. incorrectly classified EpiPen as a generic under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, which was financially consequential for federal and state governments as it reduced the amount of quarterly rebates Mylan N.V. and Mylan Inc. owed for EpiPen; (2) between 2011 through 2015, Mylan N.V. and Mylan Inc. paid a lower rebate of 13% when it should have been paying a higher rebate of 23.1% or more; (3) the incorrect classification appears to have cost the federal government more than $100 million in the last five years alone; (4) in turn, Mylan N.V. and Mylan Inc. lacked effective internal controls over financial reporting; and (5) as a result, Mylan N.V. and Mylan Inc.’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. The lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages when these details entered the market.
