On June 3, 2015, a lawsuit was filed against Puma Biotechnology Inc. The plaintiff claims that the defendants made allegedly false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that the Company’s NDA filing would be for a positive early stage breast cancer indication, instead of the previously announced metastatic breast cancer, that Puma Biotechnology Inc would need to submit additional safety data from preclinical carcinogenicity studies with its NDA filing, which Puma did not have, that the additional required studies would necessarily push the timeline for filing the NDA into the first quarter of 2016, that the Company overstated results from its Phase III ExteNET Trial and that as a result of the foregoing, Defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about the Company and its outlook, including in its financial statements and about the ongoing ExteNET trial.

On October 16, 2015, a consolidated complaint was filed and November 30, 2015 the defendants filed their motion to dismiss the case, which the court denied on September 30, 2016.
