According to the lawsuit, Impax misrepresented and failed to disclose quality control issues at the Company's Taiwan production facility. Specifically, the Company made material misrepresentations concerning: (i) its failure to adhere to proper quality control and manufacturing practices at its Taiwan production facility; (ii) the potential material adverse effect of its quality control and manufacturing issues on its ability to launch its new drug, RYTARY; (iii) the quality control and manufacturing issues imperiling its ability to produce, sell, and distribute generic drugs; and (iv) the absence of a reasonable basis for the Defendants' positive statements concerning the Impax and its prospects. The lawsuit claims that when this adverse information entered the market, the price of Impax's securities dropped, damaging investors.
