Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company that develops and commercializes treatments for thrombosis and other hematologic diseases. Its lead product is Andexxa, marketed as Ondexxya in Europe. Andexxa is for patients treated with rivaroxaban or apixaban, when anticoagulation needs to be reversed due to life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made misleading statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Portola's internal control over financial reporting regarding reserve for product returns was not effective; (2) that Portola was shipping longer-dated product with 36-month shelf life; (3) that Portola had not established adequate reserve for returns of prior shipments of short-dated product; (4) that, as a result, Portola was reasonably likely to need to "catch up" on accounting for return reserves; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading or lacked a reasonable basis. It is alleged that when the market learned the truth about Portola, investors suffered damages.
If you have purchased at least 15,000 shares of PTLA stock (NASDAQ:PTLA), please contact the Thornton Law Firm's shareholder rights team at [email protected], or call 617-531-3917 to discuss the lead plaintiff process.
