LITIGATION

In October 2018, a purported securities class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Southern District”) against the Company and one of its officers on behalf of all shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired TG Therapeutics common stock between June 4, 2018 and September 25, 2018 (the “Class Period”). The case is captioned Randall Reinmann v. TG Therapeutics Inc., and Michael S. Weiss, Case No. 1:18-cv-09104-KPF. The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the Company made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose various facts and circumstances regarding its UNITY-CLL study allegedly in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.  In December 2018, the Southern District appointed Co-Lead Plaintiffs to represent the putative class, and approved their selection of Lead Counsel.  On March 1, 2019, Co-Lead Plaintiffs filed a notice with the Southern District seeking to voluntarily dismiss the action in its entirety without prejudice. 

 

In addition, on December 18, 2018, a related shareholder derivative litigation was filed in the Southern District against the Company’s directors and one of its officers in litigation captioned Thessalus Capital v. Weiss, et al., 1:18-cv-11918-KPF. The Company is named only as a nominal defendant. The suit alleges that the officer and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, wasted corporate assets, and violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder in connection with the Company’s alleged failure to disclose various facts and circumstances regarding its UNITY-CLL study.  The plaintiff asserts that the alleged disclosure violations concerning the Company’s UNITY-CLL study have caused the Company to incur losses, including defense costs, and further alleges that the named officer and directors received excessive compensation.
