Shareholder Alert: Morganti Legal Announces Investigation of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. (VRX)

TORONTO, Oct. 23, 2015 /CNW/ – Morganti Legal, a cross-border law firm focused on representing investors, has commenced an investigation into potential violations of securities laws by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. (TSX and NYSE: “VRX”) in respect of allegations that Valeant may have released materially misleading business information to the investing public including potentially inflating revenues by recording intercompany sales in its revenue figures.

On October 19, 2015, Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation (SIRF) issued a report on Valeant revealing an undisclosed relationship between the Company and specialty pharmacy Philidor RX Services. Upon release of this news, Valeant’s share price on the TSX fell $14.35 per share from the previous trading day’s close to close at $213.05 per share.

On October 21, 2015, Citron Research issued a subsequent report on Valeant, which alleged, amongst other things, that Valeant and Philidor maintain phantom pharmacies to improperly recognize and record revenue from the sale of drugs, or in order to avoid scrutiny from auditors. Upon release of this news, Valeant’s share price on the TSX dropped 40% during intraday trading, and ultimately fell $36.64 per share to close the day at $154.21.

Investors who purchased shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. on the Toronto Stock Exchange on or before October 21, 2015 are encouraged to stay informed and protect their rights.
