The Amended Complaint asserts claims against Geron and Dr. Scarlett under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the &#x201c;Exchange Act&#x201d;) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and against Dr. Scarlett under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act.  Among other things, the Amended Complaint alleges that, during the period from March 19, 2018, to September 26, 2018, inclusive (the &#x201c;Class Period&#x201d;), Defendants made materially false and misleading statements concerning the Company&#x2019;s single drug in development, imetelstat, and the results of a Phase 2 clinical trial known as the IMbark study, and that Geron and certain Company insiders sold Geron common stock at inflated prices while in possession of material, non-public information concerning the results from the IMbark study.  The Amended Complaint further alleges that Defendants&#x2019; misstatements caused the price of Geron common stock to be inflated during the Class Period and to decline when the alleged truth emerged though a corrective disclosure on September 27, 2018, resulting in financial losses to those who purchased Geron common stock at the allegedly inflated price.</font></div></div>
