Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 6, 2015, the registrant ("Viropro") commenced an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York captioned: Viropro, Inc., individually and derivatively on behalf of Alpha Biologics Sdn Bhd v. PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory Services Sdn Bhd, Index No. 652377/2015, arising out of what Viropro believes is PwCAS's willful breaches of fiduciary duty and gross negligence in its role as receiver and manager of Alpha. Alpha is Viropro's wholly-owned subsidiary located in Penang, Malaysia. Viropro has alleged that PwCAS has injured Viropro and Alpha due to its failure to preserve and protect Alpha's property for the benefit of all persons interested in the estate of Alpha as required by law and equity.
Viropro also received an Order dated August 12, 2015 from Justice Bransten in the case captioned Spring Hill Bioventures SDN BHD derivatively on behalf of Viropro v. Cynthia Ekberg Tsai and Richard Serbin, Index No.654167/2013 brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. Justice Bransten found Cynthia Tsai guilty of spoliation and civil contempt and ordered that Viropro was entitled to an adverse inference as to fraud and breach of fiduciary duty (i.e., the jury will be instructed that it should assume that the emails destroyed by Cynthia Tsai would have been adverse to her in showing commission of fraud and breach of fiduciary duty) and an award of Viropro's attorneys' fees and costs related to this spoliation motion.
Viropro issued a press release on September 11, 2015 to disclose these litigation events, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
