TransMedics Faces Class Action Lawsuit for Securities Fraud

TransMedics Group, Inc., a prominent entity listed on NASDAQ under the ticker TMDX, has recently been the target of a securities class action lawsuit. The legal action is taken on behalf of investors who purchased TransMedics securities during the period from February 28, 2023, until January 10, 2025. This lawsuit has significant implications for stakeholders in the company as the deadline approaches for investors to join the lawsuit.

The allegations against TransMedics are considerably serious, claiming that the company and its higher management engaged in misleading activities directed at their investors. They are accused of utilizing unethical business practices, including kickbacks, fraudulent overbilling, and coercive tactics to drive up their revenues. Furthermore, it is alleged that they hid important information related to safety issues and the oversight of safety measures within the organization.

The case brought to light allegations of multiple infractions. On February 21, 2024, U.S. Representative Paul Gosar brought these issues into the public eye by sending a letter to TransMedics, accusing the company of misusing corporate resources and exploiting transplant centers to generate profit. After this revelation, TransMedics’ stock price experienced a notable decline, dropping by $2.18 per share, marking a 2.5% decrease to close at $84.81 the following day.

On January 10, 2025, additional scrutiny was placed on TransMedics when Scorpion Capital released a report that claimed the company had engaged in overbilling healthcare facilities and providing organs that had previously been rejected by reputable medical professionals. Following the release of this damaging report, the company’s shares fell by $3.74, equaling a 5% drop, closing at $68.81 on January 10, 2025. The subsequent trading day saw an additional decrease of $4.76, or 6.9%, closing at $64.05.

Zachary Kurman, a partner at Berger Montague, emphasized the gravity of these allegations and the necessity for investor participation in the lawsuit to seek potential justice or recovery. The firm invites affected parties to consider their eligibility for lead plaintiff status, which enables them to advocate on behalf of the entire class. The essential deadline for investors to submit their application for lead plaintiff, should they wish to take part, is set for April 15, 2025.
