The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of all those who purchased DBV securities between February 14, 2018 and December 19, 2018 (the “Class Period”).  The case, ITO-Stone v. DBV Technologies S.A. et al, No. 19-cv-00525 was filed on January 23, 2019, and has been assigned to Judge Madeline Cox Arleo.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) DBV Technologies’ Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for Viaskin Peanut failed to provide the FDA with sufficient data on manufacturing procedures and quality controls; (2) consequently, DBV Technologies voluntarily withdrew the BLA for Viaskin Peanut; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ statements about DBV Technologies’ business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Specifically, on December 19, 2018, after market hours, the Company issued a press release announcing that its “BLA [for Viaskin Peanut was] withdrawn following discussions with FDA regarding insufficient data on manufacturing procedures and quality controls[.]”

On this news, the Company’s share price fell from $14.15 per share on December 19, 2018 to $5.76 per share on December 20, 2018—a $8.39 or 59.29% drop.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
