Insys Shareholder Alert: Lawsuit Filed By Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check LLP Against Insys Therapeutics

RADNOR, PA / ACCESSWIRE / March 24, 2016 / Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP announces that it has filed a shareholder class action lawsuit against Insys Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSY) (“Insys” or the “Company”) on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities between March 3, 2015 and January 25, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Insys shareholders who purchased their securities during the Class Period may, no later than April 4, 2016, petition the Court to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. For additional information about this lawsuit, to view a copy of the filed complaint, or to request information about this action online, please visit https://www.ktmc.com/new-cases/insys-therapeutics-inc#join.

The class action complaint alleges that Insys and certain of its executive officers made a series of false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business and operations to investors during the Class Period. Specifically, the defendants are alleged to have failed to disclose that: (i) the Company was engaged in the illegal and improper off-labeling marketing of Subsys; (ii) certain Insys employees – including Defendant Michael L. Babich, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Insys during much of the Class Period – were complicit in an illegal kickback scheme operated for the purpose of increasing prescriptions of Subsys; and (iii) as a result, the Company’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

As more fully detailed in the class action complaint, after the close of the market on April 24, 2015 the Southern Investigating Report Foundation (“SIRF”) published an article reporting on patients who either died or suffered adverse events while being treated with Subsys, and detailed how Insys aggressively marketed Subsys. On this news, the price of the Company’s shares declined $6.00 per share, or nearly 10%, to close at $56.42 per share on April 27, 2015.

Further, on January 25, 2016, SIRF published an article alleging that Insys’s executives have continued to pressure Company employees to develop new schemes to promote the illegal and improper off-label marketing and sale of Subsys. On this news, the price of the Company’s shares declined an additional $1.07 per share, or nearly 5%, to close at $21.58 per share on January 25, 2016.

Insys shareholders who purchased their securities during the Class Period (March 3, 2015 – January 25, 2016) may, no later than April 4, 2016, petition the Court to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class.
