Description
and Status of the Action:
This is a securities class action against Defendants for alleged
violations of the federal securities laws during the Class Period. The First Amended Class
Action Complaint alleges that, among other things, Defendants made materially
false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that CytRx’s pivotal
global Phase 3 clinical trial of aldoxorubicin (the “Phase 3 Trial”) did not
conform to the Special Protocol Assessment (“SPA”) governing the trial, and
that as a result, the study’s results were at significant risk of not being
statistically significant. The Complaint further alleged that when the market
learned of Defendants’ alleged misrepresentations and omissions, the price of
CytRx Common Stock fell, causing damage to purchasers of CytRx Common Stock
during the Class Period.
The Defendants have denied
and continue to deny all claims and wrongdoing asserted in the Complaint and
any liability arising out of the allegations of misconduct in the Complaint.
Additional
information regarding this Action and the claims asserted by Lead Plaintiff can
be found in paragraphs 13-25 of the Settlement Notice.
The
Settlement Benefits:
Subject to Court approval, Lead Plaintiff, Gregory Callender, on
behalf of himself and the Settlement Class, has reached a proposed settlement
of the Action for $5,750,000 in cash (the Settlement Amount) that, if approved,
will resolve all claims in the Action. The Settlement Amount will be deposited
into an escrow account. The
Net Settlement Fund (i.e., the Settlement Amount plus any and all interest earned
thereon (the “Settlement Fund”) less (a) any Taxes, (b) any Notice and
Administration Costs, (c) any Litigation Expenses awarded by the Court, and (d)
any attorneys’ fees awarded by the Court) will be distributed in accordance
with a plan of allocation that is approved by the Court, which will determine
how the Net Settlement Fund shall be allocated among members of the Settlement
Class. The proposed plan of Allocation is set forth on page 8 of the Settlement Notice.
Your share of the Net
Settlement Fund will depend on, among other factors, when and at what prices you purchased/acquired shares of CytRx Common
Stock and/or CytRx Call Options and/or sold CytRx Put Options, and the total
number of valid Claim Forms submitted. Distributions to Settlement Class
Members will be made based on the Plan of Allocation set forth in the
Settlement Notice or such other plan of allocation as may be ordered by the
Court.
Settlement Hearing:
The Settlement
Hearing will be held on September 17, 2018 at 10:00 a.m., before the Honorable
S. James Otero at the United States District Court for the Central District of
California, United States Courthouse, 350 W. 1st Street, 6th Floor, Courtroom
6D, Los Angeles, California 90012. The Court reserves the right to approve the
Settlement, the Plan of Allocation, Lead Counsel’s motion for an award of
attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses and/or any other
matter related to the Settlement at or after the Settlement Hearing without
further notice to the members of the Settlement Class.
