HP Inc. (NYSE:HPQ)Class Period: November 6, 2015 - June 21, 2016Lead Plaintiff Deadline: January 4, 2021

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Companys business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose: (1) that HPs channel inventory management and sales practices resulted in the sale of supplies to customers that did not need or want the product in order to artificially increase revenues and profits; (2) that HPs channel inventory management and sales practices resulted in the sale of supplies to customers outside of designated regions at unsustainable discounts in order to artificially increase revenues and profits; (3) that HPs channel inventory management and sales practices resulted in the sale of supplies at steep discounts to customers to encourage those customers to sell the supplies further down the supply channel, out of HPs inventory management metrics; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, defendants statements about the Companys business condition and prospects were materially false and misleading when made.

Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICPT)Class Period: September 28, 2019 - October 7, 2020Lead Plaintiff Deadline: January 4, 2021

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Companys business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of safety concerns associated with Ocalivas use in treating PBC; (2) the foregoing increased the likelihood of an FDA investigation into Ocalivas development, thereby jeopardizing Ocalivas continued marketability and the sustainability of its sales; (3) any purported benefits associated with OCAs efficacy in treating NASH were outweighed by the risks of its use; (4) as a result, the FDA was unlikely to approve the Companys NDA for OCA in treating patients with liver fibrosis due to NASH; and (5) as a result of all the foregoing, the Companys public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Neovasc Inc. (NASDAQ: NVCN) Class Period: October 10, 2018 October 27, 2020Lead Plaintiff Deadline: January 15, 2021

The complaint filed alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Companys business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the results of COSIRA, Neovascs clinical study for the Reducer, contained imbalances in missing information present in the control group versus the treatment group, including significant missing information for secondary endpoints but none for the primary endpoint; (2) that the imbalance in missing information indicated that control subjects were aware of their treatment assignment (not blinded) and less inclined to participate in additional data collection; (3) that blinding is critical when studying a placebo-responsive condition such as angina; (4) that the lack of blinding assessment made the primary endpoint difficult to interpret; (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, the FDA was reasonably likely to require additional premarket clinical data; (6) that, as a result, the Companys PMA for Reducer was unlikely to be approved without additional clinical data; and (7) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants positive statements about the Companys business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Interface, Inc. (NASDAQ: TILE) Class Period March 2, 2018 - September 28, 2020Lead Plaintiff Deadline: January 11, 2021

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Companys business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Interface had inadequate disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; (2) consequently, Interface, inter alia, reported artificially inflated income and EPS in 2015 and 2016; (3) Interface and certain of its employees were under investigation by the SEC with respect to the foregoing issues since at least as early as November 2017, had impeded the SECs investigation, and downplayed the true scope of the Companys wrongdoing and liability with respect to the SEC investigation; and (4) as a result, the Companys public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
