BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Endo International plc ("Endo" or the "Company") ENDP securities between September 28, 2015 and November 2, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Endo investors have until January 6, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors suffering losses on their Endo investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.

According to the complaint filed in this lawsuit Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements regarding its participation in an alleged price fixing scheme with other generic drug companies. The complaint alleges that Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Endo's subsidiary, Par Pharmaceutical, had colluded with several of its industry peers to fix generic drug prices; (ii) the foregoing conduct constituted a violation of federal antitrust laws; (iii) consequently, Endo's revenues during the Class Period were in part the result of illegal conduct; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing, Endo's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Note: On December 14, 2016, the United States Justice Department accused two generic drug executives of colluding with other generic pharmaceutical companies to fix prices, the first criminal charges stemming from a sweeping criminal investigation into alleged price fixing by over a dozen generic drug companies.

If you purchased shares of Endo during the Class Period you may move the Court no later than January 6, 2017 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.
