Investors who purchased or acquired ELANCO securities during the Class Period may, no later than DECEMBER 6, 2024, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class.
Elanco is an animal health company that develops products for pets and farm animals, including Zenrelia, an oral Janus kinase inhibitor for canine dermatology, and Credelio Quattro, a parasiticide for dogs.
In November 2023, Elanco set a timeline for U.S. approval by the Food and Drug Administration of both Zenrelia and Credelio Quattro in the first half of 2024. In May 2024, Elanco set a timeline for U.S. approval and commercial launch of Zenrelia in the third quarter of 2024, as well as approval of Credelio Quattro in the third quarter of 2024, with a commercial launch set for the fourth quarter of 2024.
On June 27, 2024, the Company issued an update on FDA approval timelines for Zenrelia and Credelio Quattro, indicating that Elanco expected the U.S. label for Zenrelia to include a boxed safety warning which the Company believed would “slow the product adoption curve in the U.S.” and initially limit the number of days Zenrelia could safely be administered to dogs by approximately 25%. Further, Elanco stated that it was now expecting Zenrelia to receive FDA approval in the third quarter of 2024, leading to a potential commercial launch in the fourth quarter of 2024, and that Credelio Quattro is expected to receive FDA approval in the fourth quarter of 2024.
On this news, Elanco’s stock price fell $3.69 per share, or 20%, to close at $14.28 per share on June 27, 2024.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Communicating with any counsel is not necessary to participate or share in any recovery achieved in this case. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
