Class Action Lawsuit

On November 7, 2023, a securities class action was filed by Brian Feldman against us and certain of our executives in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, alleging that, during the period from March 31, 2023 to September 22, 2023, we made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about our business, operations, and prospects, alleging specifically that we failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the equipment used to manufacture ibrexafungerp was also used to manufacture a non-antibacterial beta-lactam drug substance, presenting a risk of cross-contamination; (2) that we did not have effective internal controls and procedures, as well as adequate internal oversight policies to ensure that its vendor complied with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP); (3) that, due to the substantial risk of cross-contamination, we were reasonably likely to recall its ibrexafungerp tablets and halt its clinical studies; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, our statements about our business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, fees and costs on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased and/or acquired shares of our common stock between March 31, 2023 to September 22, 2023.  We have filed a motion to dismiss.  On May 1, 2024, and again on June 4, 2024, purported shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey. The complaints name our directors and certain of our officers and assert state and federal claims based on the same alleged misstatements as the securities class action complaint.  These cases were consolidated and are currently stayed.  We disagree with the allegations and we intend to defend these litigations vigorously.
