Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
On February 6, 2025, the Gross Law Firm made a significant announcement regarding a class action lawsuit against Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN). This lawsuit aims to hold Regeneron accountable for alleged misleading practices that have impacted investors who purchased shares during a specified time period. The law firm has called upon shareholders who acquired shares between November 2, 2023, and October 30, 2024, to come forward and participate in the lawsuit.
Allegations Against Regeneron Pharmaceuticals
The primary allegations in this lawsuit assert that Regeneron made materially false and misleading statements, alongside a lack of disclosure regarding crucial financial practices. Key points highlighted in the complaint include:
1.
Payment of Credit Card Fees: It is alleged that Regeneron paid credit card fees to distributors, contingent upon them not charging customers more when using credit cards for one of its flagship products, Eylea.
2.
Price Concessions: These payments reportedly subsidized customer prices when purchasing Eylea with credit cards. Consequently, Regeneron positioned itself advantageously by lowering the selling price of Eylea without transparent communication.
3.
Competitive Advantage: Due to retinal practices being price-sensitive, Regeneron's concessions on prices provided an unfair competitive edge in the anti-VEGF medication market.
4.
Misleading Sales Reporting: The lawsuit posits that Regeneron's actions misleadingly inflated reported sales of Eylea, which directly misrepresented the drug's market performance.
5.
Overstated Average Selling Price (ASP): The failure to report payment of credit card fees as price concessions supposedly resulted in an overstated ASP reported to federal agencies, constituting a violation of the False Claims Act.
6.
Misleading Statements: Overall, the defendants' public statements regarding Regeneron's business performance and outlook are claimed to be materially misleading and lacking a reasonable basis.
