STEVENSON, Md., Feb. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of purchasers of Endologix Inc. (Nasdaq: ELGX ) (“Endologix” or the “Company”) securities during the period between August 2, 2016 through November 16, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until March 6, 2017 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Endologix securities during the Class Period. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. No class has yet been certified in the above action.
The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that Endologix did not have the necessary clinical data for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) premarket approval of its Nellix® EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing System.
According to the complaint, following a November 16, 2016 announcement that the FDA requested the Company to provide them with follow up data for two years for patients enrolled in the EVAS-FORWARD-IDE study to assess Nellix, the value of Endologix shares declined significantly.
If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Endologix securities purchased on or after August 2, 2016 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html .
