On March 6, 2017, STATnews published a report entitled “How the world’s richest doctor gave away millions – then steered the cash back to his company.” The report stated that the NantHealth’s founder (Patrick Soon-Shiong (“Dr. Soon”)) made a $12 million gift to the University of Utah that required the University to spend $10 million for NantHealth’s genetic sequencing work.
The report also stated: “[T]he deal made it possible for [NantHealth] to inflate, by more than 50 percent, the number of test orders it reported to investors late last year while updating them on interest in a flagship product, a diagnostic tool known as GPS Cancer. Soon-Shiong’s team counted genetic sequencing ordered by the University of Utah in those order numbers – even though the work for the university did not have anything to do with diagnosing or recommending treatments for cancer patients.”
This news drove the price of NantHealth shares down approximately 23% to close at $5.50 per share on March 6, 2017.
“We’re focused on management’s earlier tally given to investors in comparison to the recent news that, if true, would appear to contradict those statements,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
