NEW YORK, Jan. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of MannKind Corporation ("Mannkind" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MNKD), concerning whether the board has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders.
On January 5, 2016, MannKind disclosed the termination of its license and collaboration agreement with sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC ("Sanofi") for the product, Afrezza. The same day, Bloomberg quoted a Sanofi spokesman as saying that Sanofi terminated the agreement due to low level of prescriptions. StreetInsider reported that Cox said that prescription levels of Afrezza never even met modest expectations.
On this news, Mannkind stock fell nearly 50% to close at $0.75 per share on January 5, 2015.
Our investigation concerns whether the board of directors has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders, grossly mismanaged the Company, and/or committed abuses of control in connection with the foregoing.
