Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 18, 2020, a purported shareholder class action, John R. Afinowicz v. LogicBio Therapeutics, Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, naming LogicBio Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its officers as defendants. The lawsuit alleges that the Company made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact relating to the Company’s Investigational New Drug submission of LB-001 in its public disclosures, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint seeks certification of a class of purchasers of the Company’s stock during the period from December 3, 2018 through February 10, 2020. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. The Company believes that this action is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. At this time, no assessment can be made as to the likely outcome of this lawsuit or whether the outcome will be material to the Company.
