The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Horizon’s Prescriptions Made Easy (“PME”) program was designed to artificially inflate the prices of minor differentiation standard retail drugs; (ii) sales revenues from drugs sold through Horizon’s PME program were unsustainable at these inflated price levels; and (iii) Horizon’s use of its PME program left the Company subject to increased regulatory risks.

On February 29, 2016, Horizon disclosed in its 2015 annual report that the Company received a subpoena in November 2015 from the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York for documents and information related to the Company’s patient assistance programs and other aspects of Horizon’s sales and marketing activities
