BioAge Labs Investors Encouraged to Lead Class Action Lawsuit

Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP has recently announced that investors of BioAge Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOA) have the opportunity to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit due to substantial financial losses. This lawsuit is associated with the company’s Initial Public Offering (IPO) on September 26, 2024, where BioAge Labs sold 12.65 million shares priced at $18 each.

According to the law firm, the lawsuit, titled Soto v. BioAge Labs, Inc., No. 25-cv-00196 (N.D. Cal.), accuses BioAge Labs and its executive team of violating the Securities Act of 1933. The core of the allegations stems from misleading statements made in the IPO documentation. It was reported that the offering documents claimed there were no safety concerns surrounding the company's clinical trials and that BioAge expected successful outcomes from its STRIDES clinical trial, which further fueled investor confidence.

However, this narrative took a drastic turn when, on December 6, 2024, BioAge Labs announced the discontinuation of its STRIDES Phase 2 study for its investigational drug candidate azelaprag due to observed cases of liver transaminitis in some participants. This announcement resulted in a significant decline in BioAge Labs' stock value, plummeting by more than 76%. As it stands, the stock is trading around $5.82 per share, which is significantly lower than the IPO price, raising concerns among investors who had anticipated recovery based on the company's earlier communications.

The law firm emphasizes that under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, any investor who acquired BioAge Labs stock in connection with the IPO has the right to pursue the role of lead plaintiff in this lawsuit. The lead plaintiff is typically someone with the most substantial financial interest in the case and is expected to represent the class as a whole. They possess the authority to select a law firm to manage the litigation process on behalf of all affected investors.

Robbins Geller, known for its leadership in representing investors in securities fraud cases, has a remarkable history of securing monetary relief for its clients. The firm has recovered over $6.6 billion in securities-related class action cases, positioning it as one of the largest plaintiffs’ firms globally. They have obtained several record recoveries, including the largest in history at $7.2 billion in the Enron case.

Investors who believe they qualify and wish to take part in the lawsuit are encouraged to submit their information through the Robbins Geller website or can contact attorneys J.C. Sanchez or Jennifer N. Caringal directly by phone or email for assistance.

As the legal proceedings progress, it will be essential for BioAge Labs investors to stay informed and consider their options. Participating as lead plaintiff isn't the only route for obtaining potential future recoveries, but it provides a structured avenue for those eager to take initiative in the claims against the company and hold it accountable for the losses they incurred.

In conclusion, the window for investors to step forward as lead plaintiffs is open until March 10, 2025, and those affected should act swiftly to understand their rights and may join a growing movement representing the collective voice of aggrieved shareholders.
