Emergent BioSolutions Investor Alert: Kaplan Fox Investigates Potential Securities Fraud at Emergent BioSolutions

NEW YORK, April 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (“Emergent BioSolutions” or the “Company”) (NYSE: EBS).

On March 31, 2021, after market, reports emerged that Emergent BioSolutions had made errors in manufacturing 15 million doses of coronavirus vaccine for Johnson & Johnson. The New York Times, for example, reported that Emergent BioSolutions, a manufacturing partner to both Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca, had “accidentally conflated the ingredients for two different coronavirus vaccines several weeks ago, ruining about 15 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine and forcing regulators to delay authorization of the plant’s production lines.” Additionally, according to Yahoo News, Senior Biden administration health officials “knew two weeks ago that a Johnson & Johnson contractor’s production problems could delay delivery of a significant number of future vaccine doses.”

Then, on April 1, 2021, Emergent BioSolutions published a statement admitting that it had identified and disposed of a batch of drug substance that did not meet specifications.

Following this news, Emergent BioSolutions’ common stock fell $12.45 per share, or 13.4%, to close at $80.46 per share on heavy trading volume.
