Background on the Mylan Securities Class Litigation

Mylan, incorporated in the Netherlands and headquartered in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, is the second largest generic drug manufacturer in the world. During the Class Period, Mylan’s largest U.S. manufacturing facility was located in Morgantown, West Virginia.

The action alleges defendants made material misrepresentations and omissions regarding Mylan’s failure to comply with U.S. federal quality control regulations, particularly at its Morgantown facility. Under a scheme implemented by Mylan’s President, defendant Rajiv Malik, Mylan chemists allegedly manipulated quality control test data to create the illusion that Mylan’s drugs had achieved passing quality control results.

On June 28, 2018, Mylan disclosed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) had conducted an investigation into the Morgantown facility in the spring of 2018, which culminated in the FDA’s issuance of its second citation in less than two years. The FDA’s investigation detailed 13 significant deficiencies in Mylan’s operations, including poor quality control oversight, major lapses in equipment cleaning, and ineffective controls. On this news, the price of Mylan stock fell $1.12 per share, or approximately 3%, from a closing price of $37.45 on June 27, 2018, to close at $36.33 per share on June 28, 2018.

On August 8, 2018, during Mylan’s second quarter of 2018 earnings conference call, defendant Malik stated that Mylan had “undertaken a restructuring and remediation program in Morgantown” that included a “discontinuation of a number of products” and would have a “negative impact on production levels, product supply and operations.” On this news, the price of Mylan stock fell $2.62 per share, or 6.69%, from a closing price of $39.23 on August 7, 2018, to close at $36.61 per share on August 8, 2018, on extremely elevated trading volume.

On November 9, 2018, the FDA issued a formal warning letter concerning “significant violations of current good manufacturing practice[s]” at Mylan’s Morgantown plant, and reporting that products at the plant were “adulterated.” On this news, the price of Mylan stock fell $1.01 per share, or 2.73%, from a closing price of $36.95 on November 9, 2018, to close at $35.94 per share on November 12, 2018.

On February 26, 2019, during Mylan’s fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018 earnings conference call, the Company announced an 18% decrease in net sales from the prior year, attributing this shortfall, in part, to its Morgantown restructuring, which included the discontinuation of almost 250 products. On this news, the price of Mylan stock fell $4.61 per share, or 15.05%, from a closing price of $30.62 on February 26, 2019 to close at $26.01 per share on February 27, 2019.

On May 7, 2019, Mylan reported that its revenues and earnings-per-share were down year-over-year by 7% and 15%, respectively, as the Company discontinued manufacturing certain products in the Morgantown facility, and that its quarterly adjusted free cash flow was severely lacking, now matching its 2015 levels. On this news, the price of Mylan shares fell $6.73 per share, or 23.81%, from a closing price of $28.26 on May 6, 2019, to close at $21.53 per share on May 7, 2019, on extremely heavy trading volume.
