About the Lawsuit

Taro and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. 

On September 9, 2016, Taro announced that its subsidiary and two senior officers received grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. DOJ, Antitrust Division, seeking documents regarding the sale of generic pharmaceutical products.

Then, on October 17, 2016, NECA-IBEW Welfare Trust Fund filed an antitrust class action lawsuit against Taro and several other pharmaceutical companies alleging that they engaged in the price-fixing of Clobetasol since 2014 in violation of the U.S. antitrust laws.

On this news, the price of Taro’s shares plummeted.
