Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC Announces the Investigation of Immunomedics, Inc.

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC is conducting an investigation to determine whether Immunomedics, Inc. (“IMMU” or the “Company”) and certain of its officers and directors made false and misleading statements and/or omissions in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

A class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey by another law firm on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Immunomedics, Inc. IMMU between May 9, 2013 and October 9, 2013, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

The complaint alleges that IMMU and certain of its officers and directors (“Defendants”) made numerous positive statements about Veltuzumab and its related development with IMMU partner Takeda-Nycomed (the “Agreement”), while in fact the Company and Takeda-Nycomed were actually embroiled in an on-going dispute regarding the same. On May 14, 2013, just after the beginning of the Class Period, IMMU provided Takeda-Nycomed with a formal notification that, as a result of the delays in the development in Veltuzumab, it considered Takeda-Nycomed to be in "material breach" of the Agreement and that the Agreement would terminate if the breach remained uncured.

The Class Period ends on October 9, 2013 with IMMU's announcement that its development Agreement with Takeda-Nycomed had been terminated. The announcement was made after the market close on October 9 and Immunomedics shares fell from $5.60 to $5.56 on October 10.

Cohen Milstein encourages all investors who purchased IMMU common stock between May 9, 2013 and October 9, 2013 or former employees with information concerning this matter to contact the firm.
