SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Reminds Investors of Class Action Against NewLink Genetics Corporation (NLNK) and Lead Plaintiff Deadline: July 11, 2016

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 24, 2016 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC reminds investors
that a securities class action has been filed on behalf of those who purchased shares of NewLink Genetics Corporation (“NewLink” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NLNK) between September 17, 2013 and May 9, 2016 inclusive (the “Class Period”).

NewLink is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on developing immunotherapeutic products, namely algenpantucel-L, to enhance treatment options for patients with cancer.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts regarding Alere’s business and operations and specifically failed to disclose that: (1) algenpantucel-L was ineffective and possibly harmful to patients; and (2) consequentially, NewLink’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On Monday, May 9, 2016, NewLink’s phase III study disclosed that its experimental cancer vaccine, known as algenpantucel-L, which was designed to stimulate a patient’s immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells, did not actually do so and failed to prolong survival in patients with pancreatic cancer compared to a standard therapy. Following this news, NewLink stock dropped to $5.05 per share, or 30.61%, to close at $11.45 on May 10, 2016.
