Intersect ENT Inc. Common Stock (NASDAQ: XENT)
According to the Complaint, Intersect is a commercial drug delivery company that purports to develop products for patients with ear, nose, and throat conditions. The Company's PROPEL family of products are used in conjunction with sinus surgery, and the Company's SINUVA sinus implant is used to treat patients who have had surgery yet suffer from recurrent sinus obstruction due to polyps.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company lacked adequate reimbursement representatives to ensure physicians had access to SINUVA; (2) that, as a result, the Company's sales force would focus on ensuring reimbursement; (3) that, as a result, the Company's sales representatives were less focused on driving sales; (4) that physicians were less likely to adopt the Company's SINUVA due to transaction costs associated with seeking reimbursement; (5) that the Company would increase staffing to address these issues; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
