According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. AxoGen aggressively raised prices in an attempt to make up for falling sales, a decision that upset customers and hurt growth. The Company paid a small group of surgeons to generate sales and became dependent on this group to generate revenue. The Company’s sales organization was prone to channel stuffing and was incented to backdate sales orders to inflate Company metrics. This resulted in the Company’s key metrics being overstated. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about AxoGen, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.
