Robbins Umeda LLP Announces Investigation of KV Pharmaceutical Company
28 Janeiro 2010 - 8:04PM
Business Wire
Robbins Umeda LLP has commenced an investigation into possible
mismanagement of KV Pharmaceutical Company ("KV" or the "Company")
(NYSE: KV-A). KV, a fully-integrated specialty pharmaceutical
company, develops, manufactures, acquires, and markets
technology-differentiated branded and generic/non-branded
prescription pharmaceutical products. The Company is based in St.
Louis, Missouri.
Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation of KV concerns questionable
statements issued by the Company between February 2008 and November
2008 regarding its compliance with federal regulations concerning
the manufacture and marketing of certain generic drug products, as
well as the Company's current and future financial prospects. Among
other things, it appears that the Company failed to disclose that:
(1) manufacturing disruptions and inefficiencies were resulting in
a material backlog of unshipped customer orders, eroding the
Company's revenues and earnings; (2) KV's management engaged in
misconduct by failing to recall the Company's unsafe drug products;
and (3) KV's financial statements failed to comply with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles.
The Company's internal review thus far indicates that this
potential mismanagement has been occurring since at least 2005. On
November 13, 2008, the Company announced it was unable to file its
Form 10-Q for the quarter that ended September 30, 2008, due to a
continuing investigation by the Company's Audit Committee into
allegations of management misconduct concerning recalls of the
Company's drug products. Following this statement, the price of KV
common stock fell from $14.26 per share to $5.90 per share – a drop
of nearly 59%.
A lawsuit alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased or
otherwise acquired KV stock between June 15, 2004 and January 23,
2009, seeking recovery from KV and certain of its officers for the
damages they have suffered as a result of the officers'
mismanagement of the Company. Securities class actions like this
can potentially cause additional damage to the Company.
If you purchased KV stock prior to February 2008, continue to
hold your shares, and would like more information about your rights
