The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Aratana did not have adequate manufacturing contracts in place to upkeep manufacturing of ENTYCE at a commercial scale; (2) therefore, ENTYCE was not likely to be commercially available until late 2017; (3) accordingly, Aratana had misled investors regarding the probable timeline for a commercial launch of ENTYCE; and (4) consequently, Aratana's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
