The filed 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 failed to disclose to investors that:
Defendants had overstated the Dovitinib New Drug Application’s (“NDA”) continued regulatory prospects;
Allarity and three of its former officers had engaged in illegal, illicit, and/or otherwise improper conduct in connection with the Dovitinib NDA and/or the Dovitinib-Drug Related Problems (“DRP”) Pre-Market Approval (“PMA”);
the foregoing misconduct subjected the Company to an increased risk of regulatory and/or
governmental scrutiny and enforcement action, as well as significant legal, monetary, and reputational harm;
following Allarity’s announcement that it was, in fact, being investigated for wrongdoing in connection with the Dovitinib NDA and/or the Dovitinib-DRP PMA, the Company downplayed the substantial likelihood that an enforcement action would result from such investigation; and
as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
On February 6, 2023, Allarity disclosed that it had received a letter to produce documents from the United States Securities and Commission (“SEC”). The letter stated that the staff of the SEC was conducting an investigation to determine if violations of the federal securities laws, relating to disclosures regarding submissions, communications and meetings with the FDA concerning the NDA for Dovitinib or Dovitinib-DRP.
On this news, Allarity’s stock price fell 3.8% to close at $0.228 per share on February 6, 2023.
On December 11, 2023, Allarity disclosed that its CEO had been terminated from his role “and all other positions with the Company and its subsidiaries.” On this news, Allarity’s stock price fell 13.4% to close at $0.486 per share on December 11, 2023.
Subsequently, on July 22, 2024, Allarity disclosed that it had received a Wells Notice from the SEC “relating to the Company’s previously disclosed SEC investigation,” advising that “[t]he Wells Notice relates to the Company’s disclosures regarding meetings with the [FDA] regarding the Company’s NDA for Dovitinib or Dovitinib-DRP, which was submitted to the FDA in 2021”; and per the Company’s understanding, “all conduct relating to the SEC Wells Notice occurred during or prior to fiscal year 2022”; and “that three of its former officers received Wells Notices from the SEC relating to the same conduct.”
On this news, Allarity’s stock price fell $0.004, or 2.4%, to close at $0.164 per share on July 22, 2024.
