Then on June 1, 2015, Celladon issued a press release announcing the abrupt resignation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Then, on June 26, 2015, Celladon announced the suspension of its plans for further research or development of its MYDICAR program and other pre-clinical programs, indicating there was a possibility that the Company could be liquidated with net cash available to shareholders of $25-$30 million.

If you suffered a loss in Celladon you have until August 31, 2015to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
