OGN FRAUD ALERT: Organon & Co. Investors are Reminded of Ongoing Securities Fraud Class Action — Contact BFA Law by July 22 Legal Deadline (NYSE:OGN)
NEW YORK, June 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Organon & Co. (NYSE: OGN) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Organon you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting Investors have until July 22, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Organon securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and is captioned: Hauser v. Organon & Co., et al. , No. 25-cv-05322. Why was Organon Sued for Securities Fraud? Organon is a global healthcare company focused on women's health that has historically rewarded its shareholders with a healthy dividend. In October 2024, Organon completed a $1.2 billion acquisition of Dermavant, a biopharmaceutical company focused on dermatological conditions. As alleged, while the acquisition increased Organon's debt, the Company assured investors it would maintain its dividend, which Organon asserted was its '#1 capital allocation priority.' In truth, Organon had shifted its capital allocation priority after the Dermavant acquisition to focus on reducing its debt, ultimately leading the Company to severely cut its dividend. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On May 1, 2025, Organon announced that management reset the Company's dividend payout from $0.28 per share to $0.02 per share. Organon's CEO explained that the Company 'reset our capital allocation priorities to accelerate progress towards deleveraging' and that '[b]y deleveraging more rapidly, we will continue to strengthen the future prospects of the company.' Organon's CFO added, '[t]he biggest issues we face . . . relate to managing our leverage and relate to growth. And we need capital to solve both of those issues, and so returning capital to shareholders is right now, less of a priority.' On this news, the price of Organon stock declined roughly 27%, from $12.93 per share on April 30, 2025, to $9.45 per share on May 1, 2025. Click here if you suffered losses: What Can You Do? If you invested in Organon you may have legal options and are encouraged to submit your information to the firm. All representation is on a contingency fee basis, there is no cost to you. Shareholders are not responsible for any court costs or expenses of litigation. The firm will seek court approval for any potential fees and expenses.

IOVA FRAUD ALERT: Iovance Biotherapeutics Investors are Reminded of Ongoing Securities Fraud Class Action — Contact BFA Law by July 14 Legal Deadline (NASDAQ:IOVA)
NEW YORK, June 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: IOVA) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Iovance you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting Investors have until July 14, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Iovance securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and is captioned Sundaram v. Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc., et al. , No. 25-cv-04177. Why was Iovance Sued for Securities Fraud? Iovance is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of treatments for melanoma and other solid tumor cancers. The Company commercially launched its key melanoma treatment Amtagvi in February 2024. Iovance administers Amtagvi at the Company's authorized treatment centers ('ATCs'). As alleged, Iovance repeatedly touted its ATCs as a driver of demand for Amtagvi. In truth, Iovance's ATCs were experiencing long timelines to begin treating patients with Amtagvi, and ineffective patient identification and patient selection for treatment was causing high patient drop-offs at the ATCs. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On May 8, 2025, Iovance reported disappointing financial results for 1Q25 and announced it was 'revising full-year 2025 revenue guidance.' The Company blamed 'recent launch dynamics,' including slow 'treatment timelines for new ATCs' and 'the variable pace at which ATCs began treating patients,' which 'differs from center to center.' Iovance also blamed the poor results on high 'patient drop-off' due to inadequate 'patient selection' for treatment. On this news, the price of Iovance stock declined more than 44%, from $3.17 per share on May 8, 2025, to $1.75 per share on May 9, 2025. Click here if you suffered losses: What Can You Do?
