NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2019 / Juan Monteverde, founder and managing partner at Monteverde & Associates PC, a national securities firm headquartered at the Empire State Building in New York City announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against GTx, Inc. (NASDAQ: GTXI) ("GTx" or the "Company") for shareholders who held GTx securities as of the record date on April 15, 2019 (the "Class Period"), and have been harmed by GTx's and its Board of Directors' (the "Board") alleged violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") in connection with the merger of the Company with Oncternal Therapeutics, Inc. ("Oncternal").
Under the terms of the transaction, each share of Oncternal common stock will be converted into the right to receive approximately 0.5137 shares of GTx's common stock (the "Merger Consideration"). The complaint alleges that the Merger Consideration is inadequate and that the Proxy Statement provided shareholders with materially incomplete and misleading information about the Company's financials and the Merger, in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. In particular, the complaint alleges that the Proxy Statement contained materially incomplete and misleading information concerning: (i) financial projections for GTx and Oncternal; (ii) the Proposed Transaction Process; and (iii) potential Board conflicts of interest. The special meeting of GTx stockholders to vote on the Merger will be held on June 5, 2019.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 25, 2019. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
