Investors with losses of $50,000 or more are encouraged to contact the firm to discuss their legal rights.

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming October 3, 2016 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of a class (the “Class”) of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Keryx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Keryx" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: KERX) securities between September 2, 2013, and August 1, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Keryx investors have October 3, 2016 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

The complaint filed in this lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, and/or failed to disclose: (1) that the Company was experiencing production-related difficulties in converting API to finished drug product; (2) that the issue was resulting in decreased production yields of finished drug product; (3) that, as a result, the Company would, and did exhaust its reserve of finished drug product; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Keryx’s business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

If you purchased Keryx shares, you may move the Court no later than October 3, 2016 to request appointment as lead plaintiff. To be a member of the class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.
