iBio Is Accused of Overstating Expected Profit
According to the complaint, shares of iBio fell 32% on October 20, 2014, and an additional 8% to close at $1.63 per share on October 23, 2014, following the publication of articles by SeekingAlpha.com questioning iBio's involvement in the emergency response to the Ebola virus outbreak. Specifically, the complaint claims that the SeekingAlpha.com articles refuted certain statements made by iBio representatives and a press release issued by iBio on October 16, 2014, that mislead investors into believing that iBio's proprietary technology would be involved in the fight against the Ebola virus. According to the SeekingAlpha.com reports, the ZMapp vaccine used to fight the Ebola virus could be produced without licensing iBio's technology.
