As the molecular partners The class action alleges that the IPO offering documents and the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) ensovibep was less effective in treating COVID-19 than the defendants had made believe investors; (ii) therefore, it was reasonably likely that the FDA would request an additional phase 3 study of ensovibep before granting an EUA for the drug; (iii) declining global rates of COVID-19 significantly reduced Molecular Partners’ chances of obtaining EUAs for ensovibep; (iv) as a candidate product, MP0310 was less attractive to Amgen than the defendants had led investors to believe; (v) consequently, there was a significant likelihood that Amgen would return the global rights to MP0310 to Molecular Partners; (vi) and, as a result, the clinical and commercial prospects of ensovibep and MP0310 were exaggerated.

Later that day after market close, Molecular Partners “further announced that Amgen. . . has reported [Molecular Partners] of its decision to return the global rights to MP0310 to Molecular Partners following a strategic portfolio revision.” On this news, the price of Molecular Partners ADSs fell by more than 47%, further hurting investors.
