A securities class action has been filed in the USDC — C.D.CA. against AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) (“AstraZeneca” or the “Company”), on behalf of all those that purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded AstraZeneca securities, between February 23, 2022, and December 17, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).

 

AstraZeneca [. . .] is a global, science-led biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery, development, and commercialization of prescription medicines in Oncology, Rare Diseases, and BioPharmaceuticals, including Cardiovascular, Renal & Metabolism, and Respiratory & Immunology. Based in Cambridge, UK, AstraZeneca’s innovative medicines are sold in more than 125 countries and used by millions of patients worldwide.

 

The Complaint alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:

 

(1) AstraZeneca engaged in insurance fraud in China;

(2) as a result, AstraZeneca faced heightened legal exposure in China, which eventually resulted in the AstraZeneca China President being detained by Chinese law enforcement authorities;

(3) as a result, AstraZeneca understated its legal risks;

(4) the foregoing, once revealed, could materially harm AstraZeneca’s business activities in China; and

(5) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times, thereby harming investors.
