The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company improperly distributed the product Exjade through its specialty pharmacy operations; (2) the Company was in violation of certain federal and state laws and regulations; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On September 23, 2013, the Company announced in a Form 8-K, that it received a civil investigative demand issued by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and a subpoena from the New York State Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, regarding the distribution of the Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation product Exjade by the Company's legacy specialty pharmacy division. Following this news, BioScrip securities declined $2.60 per share or 23% within two trading sessions, to close at $8.47 per share on September 24, 2013.
