The securities class action complaint alleges that CR Intrinsic Investors, LLC, together with its affiliates, including but not limited to, SAC Capital Associates, LLC and SAC Capital Advisors, L.P. (collectively, "Defendants"), violated the securities laws by trading Wyeth shares based on material, non-public information ahead of a July 29, 2008 announcement disclosing disappointing clinical trial results for the drug bapineuzumab (AAB-001) ("bapi"). Bapi was an Alzheimer's disease treatment that was being jointly developed by Wyeth and Elan Corporation, plc.

Specifically, the complaint charges that, during the Class Period, defendants established substantial long positions in Wyeth securities while in possession of material non-public information concerning the bapi Phase II clinical trial, acquiring over 3 million shares. As of June 30, 2008, Defendants held over $373 million in Wyeth stock.

On June 17, 2008, Wyeth released top-line summary results from the Phase II clinical trial of bapi. The market's reaction was favorable and Wyeth's common stock rose 10.7% after the announcement. Detailed trial results were to be released at a conference on July 29, 2008.

Shortly before the July 29, 2008 conference, Defendants obtained additional non-public final Phase II clinical results from the bapi trial, which were strongly and unexpectedly negative. Defendants aggressively sold their Wyeth shares ahead of the public announcement of the bapi results, completely liquidating their positions. In addition, Defendants opened large short positions in Wyeth.

On July 29, 2008, after the close of the U.S. securities markets, the disappointing Phase II clinical results of bapi were announced to the public. On July 30, 2008, the next trading day, Wyeth's share price fell 41.8% from its prior close on July 29th.
