Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Item 1 . Legal Proceedings.
On January 31, 2023, a securities class action lawsuit captioned Brill v. Invivyd, Inc., et. al., Case No. 1:23-CV-10254-LTS, was filed against us and certain of our former officers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder on the basis of purportedly materially false and misleading statements and omissions concerning ADG20’s effectiveness against the Omicron variant of COVID-19. The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified damages, attorneys’ fees, expert fees, and other costs.
We believe that we have strong defenses and we intend to vigorously defend against this action. The lawsuit is in early stages, and, at this time, no assessment can be made as to the likely outcome or whether the outcome will be material to us.
Additionally, we received a request from the SEC, dated March 22, 2023, for documents and information concerning, among other matters, our testing and analysis of the efficacy of ADG20 against Omicron and other COVID-19 variants, our public statements regarding the potential use of ADG20 against the Omicron variant, and related communications with investors and the media. We intend to cooperate fully with this fact-finding inquiry.
