On May 1, 2015, a complaint, captioned City of Warren Police and Fire Retirement Systems v. Revance Therapeutics Inc., et al, CIV 533635, was filed in the Superior Court for San Mateo County, California against Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s directors and executive officers at the time of the Offering (defined below), and the investment banking firms that acted as the underwriters in the Offering.
In general, the complaint alleges that the defendants misrepresented the Company’s then-present status of its RT001 clinical program and made false and misleading statements regarding the formulation, manufacturing and efficacy of its drug candidate, RT001, for the treatment of lateral canthal lines, known as crow’s feet lines, at the time of the Company’s June 19, 2014 follow-on public offering of common stock (the “Offering”). The complaint has been brought as a purported class action on behalf of those who purchased the Company’s common stock in the Offering and seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief.
The Company believes that the class action lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.
