Catalent is a Somerset, New Jersey-based multinational corporation that provides development and manufacturing services for pharmaceutical companies. Relevant to this action, in 2020, Catalent contracted with several COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers, including Moderna and AstraZeneca, to provide vial filling and packaging services, including at its plant in Bloomington, Indiana.

The securities class action alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Catalent and certain of its senior executives and directors made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (1) Catalent was overstating its revenues and demand for its COVID-19 manufacturing services; and (2) there were numerous operational and safety issues at Catalent’s Bloomington plant that led the FDA to hold back 10 million doses of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine that were filled and packaged at the plant.

Investors began to learn of defendants’ fraud on August 29, 2022, when Catalent disclosed below-projection sales. On this news, Catalent’s share price fell $7.42, or 7.4%, to close at $92.28 on August 30, 2022.

On September 21, 2022, news reports revealed that the FDA had been aware of “potential safety concerns at the Catalent plant in late August” causing the agency to hold back “more than 10 million doses” of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. In response to this news, Catalent’s share price fell $8.09, or 9.3%, across two trading days to close at $79.06 on September 22, 2022.

On November 1, 2022, Catelent’s quarterly report further revealed defendants’ fraud by disclosing that the company’s earnings had fallen to zero and downgrading Catalent’s FY2023 revenue guidance by $300 million. In response to this news, Catalent’s share price fell $20.83, or 31.7%, across two trading days to close at $44.90 on November 2, 2022.
