Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (NASDAQ: PACB) shareholder litigation in connection with alleged securities fraud
|
Levi & Korsinsky announces that a class action
lawsuit has been commenced in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of California
on behalf of purchasers of Pacific Biosciences of
California, Inc. (“PacBio” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: PACB) securities between October 27, 2010 and September 20, 2011 (the “Class
Period”).
The Complaint asserts that, during the Class Period, defendants failed to disclose materially adverse
facts regarding the Company’s operational and financial condition that were caused by significant
problems with its third generation human genome sequencing technology. The Complaint further
alleges that due to the Defendants’ materially false and misleading statements, PacBio stock traded
at artificially inflated prices throughout the Class Period.
On September 20, 2011, PacBio announced it was reducing its workforce by approximately 130
employees, or approximately 28 percent. The Company’s shares, which closed at $5.56 on
September 20, 2011, fell almost 24% the following day, closing at $4.25 per share on heavy trading
volume.
If you suffered a loss in PacBio stock you have until February 27, 2012 to request that the Court
appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as
a lead plaintiff.
