The class, in this case, has not yet been certified, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member.
According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. The Joint Proxy filed with the SEC in connection with the merger stated that Celgene shareholders would receive CVRs exchangeable for $9.00 per share once "milestones" were achieved. Bristol-Myers took steps to avoid paying CVR shareholders including making defective filings to the FDA to delay the eventual approval of Liso-cel, resulting in a missed milestone payment. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the merger period. When the market learned the truth about Bristol-Myers, former Celgene shareholders suffered losses.
Join the case to recover your losses.
