Prior to Monday, about 61 percent of the company’s shares had been shorted — a condition that may induce a short squeeze when trading resumes.

This activity follows a tumultuous year for Egalet investors.

In October, shares dropped 5 percent after the FDA delayed ARYMO ER’s Prescription Drug User Fee Act date and shook investor confidence. However, delays are typical in FDA opioid proceedings, and Cantor Fitzgerald analysts reiterated a company Buy rating at the time.

Egalet plans to launch the drug in the first quarter of 2017.
