Pomerantz Law Firm Files Class Action Against Humacyte, Inc. Amid Securities Fraud Allegations
Class Action Against Humacyte, Inc.
Pomerantz LLP, a prominent law firm based in New York, has recently announced the initiation of a class action lawsuit against Humacyte, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUMA). The legal action stems from concerns regarding potential securities fraud and unlawful business practices allegedly carried out by the company and some of its executives.
The law firm urges any investor who purchased Humacyte securities between August 9, 2024, and the present to contact them as they could be entitled to compensation. The announcement also indicates that investors have until January 17, 2025, to request a position as Lead Plaintiff in the case if they have been impacted. Interested parties are encouraged to share their personal details, including contact information and the quantity of shares acquired, to facilitate inclusion in the lawsuit.
On August 9, 2024, Humacyte issued a significant press release indicating that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would require additional time to assess the Biologic License Application (BLA) for its acellular tissue engineered vessel (ATEV) intended for vascular trauma utilization. This announcement had a direct effect on Humacyte's stock, plummeting by $1.30, which equated to a staggering 16.43%, causing shares to close at $6.61 on August 12, 2024.
The situation worsened when, on October 17, 2024, the FDA released a Form 483 linked to Humacyte’s manufacturing facility in Durham, North Carolina. The document highlighted several violations, including inadequate microbial quality assurance practices and insufficient quality oversight. In response to this alarming disclosure, Humacyte's stock fell again, this time by $0.95 or 16.35%, landing at $4.86 per share.
