or contact Reed Kathrein, who is leading the firm's investigation, by calling 510-725-3000 or emailing NVO@hbsslaw.com.

After repeatedly assuring investors of sales and profit growth, NVO announced its second consecutive quarter of disappointing earnings and slashed long-term profit-growth forecasts by 50% on October 28, 2016.  In addition, NVO revealed it was being investigated by the U.S. Attorney's Office for potentially improper arrangements with pharmacy benefits managers who purchase NVO's insulin products.  This news drove the price of the Company's ADRs down approximately 13%.

"We're focused on NVO's insulin--and other--pricing matters and Defendants' growth-related statements," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding NVO should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new SEC whistleblower program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.  For more information, call Reed Kathrein at 510-725-3000 or email NVO@hbsslaw.com.
