Nabriva is a biopharmaceutical company that purports to develop novel anti-infective agents to treat serious infections. One of the Company's product candidates is CONTEPO, an epoxide antibiotic developed by Zavante Therapeutics ("Zavante"), which the Company acquired in July 2018.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company's manufacturers failed to meet good manufacturing practices; (ii) these manufacturers would be subject to inspections by the FDA in connection with the Company's NDA; (iii) as a result of the manufacturing deficiencies, the Company's NDA for CONTEPO was unlikely to be approved by the FDA; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On April 30, 2019, the Company revealed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") would not approve its New Drug Application ("NDA") for CONTEPO due to "issues related to facility inspections and manufacturing deficiencies at one of Nabriva's contract manufacturers."
On this news, the Company's share price fell $0.82 per share, or over 27%, to close at $2.17 per share on May 1, 2019, on unusually high trading volume.
