Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: KLIC ) Class Period: November 16, 2017 - May 10, 2018 Lead Plaintiff Deadline: July 10, 2018

During the class period, Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc.'s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017 could no longer be relied upon due to misstated warranty accruals; and as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Prothena Corporation (NASDAQ: PRTA ) Class Period: October 15, 2015 - April 20, 2018 Lead Plaintiff Deadline: July 16, 2018

According to the complaint, Prothena allegedly made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: relevant trial data showed that Prothena’s antibody NEOD001, designed to treat amyloid light chain amyloidosis (“AL amyloidosis”), was not an effective treatment; the Company made misleading comparisons of NEOD001’s “best response” rates against certain prior studies; and the Company touted Prothena’s ongoing Phase 1/2 study of NEOD001 as providing a strong basis for late-stage Phase 2b and Phase 3 studies of NEOD001, even though the full Phase 1/2 study data demonstrated that NEOD001 was not an effective treatment.

Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ: SYMC ) Class Period: May 20, 2017 - May 10, 2018 Lead Plaintiff Deadline: July 16, 2018

The complaint alleges that Symantec's internal controls over financial reporting were materially weak and deficient; Symantec's later disclosed "reporting of certain Non-GAAP measures including those that could impact executive compensation programs" would lead to heightened regulatory scrutiny by the SEC; and as a result, Symantec's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On May 10, 2018, Symantec announced the commencement of an internal investigation “in connection with concerns raised by a former employee.”
