Allegations Against Teva
The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose adverse information regarding Teva’s business and outlook. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the poor performance of its U.S. generics business resulted in Teva’s recording a goodwill impairment charge related to the acquisition of Actavis Generics and was a key factor in cutting Teva’s dividend by 75%.

Defendants’ disclosed on August 3, 2017, the goodwill impairment charge of $6.1 billion in the second quarter of 2017, and lower than expected Q2 results attributed to the accelerated price erosion and decreased volume experienced in the U.S. generics business due to customer consolidation, greater competition, and delayed product launches.

In reaction to these announcements, Teva shares dropped from closing prices of 111.30 (ILS) per common share and $31.25 per ADS on August 2, 2017, to a new 52-week low closing price of 71.28 (ILS) per common share on August 6, 2017, and $20.60 per ADS on August 4, 2017, on heavy two-day trading volume.
