About the Lawsuit
Sanofi and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On October 6, 2014, Sanofi announced that it was investigating allegations related to improper payments to healthcare workers. Following that announcement, on October 29, 2014, Sanofi disclosed that it had terminated its CEO Christopher A. Viehbacher. Then, on December 3, 2014, it was reported that a whistleblower lawsuit against Sanofi was filed by a former paralegal alleging that Viehbacher and other Sanofi executives conducted a scheme in violation of federal law to funnel tens of millions of dollars in kickbacks and other incentives to get the company's diabetes drugs prescribed and sold. The lawsuit also alleges that Viehbacher was fired in part because he was involved in the kickback scheme.
Following this news, Safoni's stock price plummeted.
