Legal Proceedings

Between July 19 and July 23, 2018, in the wake of recent negative publicity about NUPLAZID, two purported Company stockholders filed putative securities class action complaints (captioned Staublein v. ACADIA Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. 18-cv-01647-JAH-MDD, and Stone v. ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc., Case No. 18-cv-01672-LAB-JMA) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against the Company and certain of its current executive officers.  The complaints generally allege that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects by failing to disclose that adverse events and safety concerns regarding NUPLAZID threatened initial and continuing FDA approval, and by failing to disclose that the Company engaged in business practices likely to attract regulatory scrutiny.  The complaints seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief.  The Company has assessed such legal proceedings, and given the unpredictability inherent in litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate possible losses or ranges of losses that may result from such legal proceedings, and it has not accrued any amounts in connection with such legal proceedings other than ongoing attorneys’ fees.
