According to the Complaint, Aratana made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: that the Company did not have manufacturing contracts in place sufficient to support manufacturing of its appetite stimulation drug ENTYCE at a commercial scale; ENTYCE was not likely to be commercially available until late 2017; the Company had misled investors with respect to the likely timeline for a commercial launch of ENTYCE; and that as a result of the above, Aratana's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On February 6, 2017, the Company disclosed that the Center for Veterinary Medicine requested more information about ENTYCE. Aratana told investors that it "now anticipates that ENTYCE . . . will be commercially available by late 2017" and that the CVM's demand was "in connection with the Company's post-approval supplement request to transfer the manufacturing of ENTYCE to a new vendor in order to produce ENTYCE at a commercial scale." When this news was announced to the public, the value of Aratana stock declined, causing investors severe harm.
