Investors of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Face Class Action After Securities Fraud Allegations

Investors in Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ticker: REGN) now have the opportunity to become lead plaintiffs in a securities fraud class action lawsuit, following revelations of alleged misconduct within the company. The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith have announced that those who have faced significant financial losses due to their investments in Regeneron between November 2, 2023, and October 30, 2024, can take part in this legal action.

Overview of the Allegations

The complaints lodged against Regeneron detail a series of alleged undisclosed practices that misled investors. It is claimed that the company failed to inform its investors about payments made to distributors related to credit card fees, which were strategically used to manipulate customer pricing for Eylea, one of Regeneron’s key products. The specific allegations suggest the following:

1. Regeneron reportedly paid credit card fees to distributors with the stipulation that these distributors would not charge Eylea customers more for using a credit card.
2. These payments effectively subsidized the prices customers paid when they opted to use credit cards to purchase Eylea, putting pressure on the price points.
3. As a result, there was a concession in the prices of Eylea that Regeneron had not publicly coordinated, which misrepresented the actual sales of the product.
4. A competitive edge was wrongfully bolstered as retina practices reacted sensitively to pricing inconsistencies related to credit card purchases of anti-VEGF medications.
5. Consequently, Regeneron’s reported Eylea sales figures were misleadingly enhanced, making the performance of the drug appear more favorable than it truly was.
6. Furthermore, there were alleged violations of the False Claims Act due to inaccuracies in the Average Sales Price reported to federal agencies, which resulted from not categorizing the payments to distributors as price concessions.
7. Overall, the defendants' positive comments regarding Regeneron's operations and future prospects were fundamentally misleading.
