The complaint alleges that during the Class Period HGS, certain of the Company's directors and officers, and GlaxoSmithKline plc failed to disclose and/or misrepresented that there was an association of suicide with patients in the BENLYSTA clinical trials, the Company's product for systemic lupus erythematosus and raxibacumab for inhalation anthrax. The complaint further alleges that during the Class Period, defendants sold more than 44.5 million shares of its common stock to the public in its July 28, 2009 and December 2, 2009 public offerings at artificially inflated prices.

Prior to a meeting of the FDA Advisory Committee Meeting, the FDA released its briefing documents and analysis regarding BENLYSTA that included information regarding the association of BENLYSTA with suicide in its clinical trials. In response to the news, HGS shares fell more than 10% to close at $23.60 per share on November 12, 2010.
