NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP ("BLB&G") today announced that it has filed a securities class action lawsuit on behalf of Lehigh County Employees' Retirement System against Novo Nordisk A/S ("Novo Nordisk" or the "Company") NVO and certain of its senior executives.  The action, which is captioned Lehigh County Employees' Retirement System v. Novo Nordisk A/S, No. 17-cv-00209 (D.N.J.), asserts claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Novo Nordisk American Depositary Receipts ("ADR") during the time period of April 30, 2015 to October 27, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period"). 

The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Novo Nordisk reported materially false and misleading earnings and forecasts in that they were inflated through the collusive price fixing of the Company's insulin drugs.  The Complaint also alleges that Novo Nordisk misrepresented and concealed the true extent of the pricing pressures it was experiencing from pharmacy benefit managers. 

If you wish to serve as Lead Plaintiff for the Class, you must file a motion with the Court no later than 60 days from today.  Accordingly, the deadline for filing a motion for appointment as Lead Plaintiff is March 13, 2017.  Any member of the proposed Class may move the Court to serve as Lead Plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain a member of the proposed Class.
