(“Regulus” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: RGLS ) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on behalf of persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Regulus stock between January 21, 2016 and June 27, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

If you have purchased shares of Regulus Therapeutics Inc. within the class period, you may, no later than April 3, 2017 , request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class.
The filed Complaint alleges that Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) patients treated with RG-101 were at increased risk of contracting jaundice; (2) consequently, the Company had overstated RG-101’s approval prospects and/or commercial viability; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Regulus’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On June 27, 2016, the Company announced that it had received verbal notice from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) that the FDA had placed RG-101 on clinical hold after a second serious adverse event of jaundice was reported in a patient treated with the drug.
On this news, the Company’s share price fell $2.47, or more than 49%, to close at $2.54 on June 28, 2016.
