Please Note: This Action is still being litigated. There is no judgment, settlement, or monetary recovery at this time.
No court has made a ruling on the merits of Class Representative’s allegations or on Defendants’ denials and defenses. The Court’s certification of the Class does not guarantee Class Members will receive money or any other benefits; that will be decided later in the lawsuit. If there is a recovery, you will be notified about how to request your share. Please keep your trading records concerning Celgene common stock. You will need them if there is a future claims process.
SUMMARY OF THE ACTION
The information contained on this website is only a summary of the information presented in more detail in the Notice of Pendency of Class Action ("Notice"). Because this website is just a summary, you should review the Notice and Frequently Asked Questions for additional details.
The purpose of the Notice is to inform you of a class action lawsuit now pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“Court”) against Celgene Corporation (“Celgene"), Scott A. Smith, Terrie Curran, and Philippe Martin (collectively, “Defendants”). The Notice is intended only to advise you that the action has been certified by the Court to proceed as a class action on behalf of certain purchasers of Celgene common stock and your rights with respect to the lawsuit. Class Members who wished to exclude themselves from the Court certified Class were required to do so by July 11, 2022.
By Order and Opinion entered November 30, 2020, the Court certified the Action as a class action on behalf of the following Class:
All persons and entities who purchased the common stock of Celgene between April 27, 2017 and April 27, 2018, and were damaged thereby.
Excluded from the Class are: (i) Celgene; (ii) any directors and officers of Celgene during the Class Period and members of their immediate families; (iii) the subsidiaries, parents and affiliates of Celgene; (iv) any firm, trust, corporation or other entity in which Celgene has or had a controlling interest; and (v) the legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of any such excluded party.
The Notice is directed to members of the Class. If you are a member of the Class, your rights will be affected by the Action. If you do not meet the Class definition, the Notice does not apply to you. If you are uncertain whether you are a member of the Class, please contact Class Counsel, or your own attorney.
The Notice is not an admission by Defendants or an expression of any opinion by the Court as to the merits of the Action, or a finding by the Court that the claims asserted by Class Representative in the Action are valid. This Notice is intended solely to inform you of the pendency of the Action and of your rights concerning the Action, including the right to request exclusion from the Class if you are a member of the Class. There is no judgment, settlement, or monetary recovery at this time, and there is no assurance that a judgment in favor of the Class will be granted or that the Court will award the Class a monetary recovery. Defendants have denied Class Representative’s claims, and contend that they are not liable for the harm alleged by Class Representative. The Court has appointed AMF Pensionsförsäkring AB as the representative for the Class.
The Class definition may be subject to change by the Court pursuant to Rule 23.
