LifeMD, Inc. 10-Q

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On April 16, 2021, a purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned David L. Owens, Sr. v. LifeMD, Inc. et al. , Case No. 21-cv-03384, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, Justin Schreiber (LifeMD’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer), Juan Pinero Dagnery (LifeMD’s former Chief Financial Officer), and Marc Benathen (LifeMD’s current Chief Financial Officer) (the “Owens, Sr. Lawsuit”). The Owens, Sr. Complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants made false or misleading statements about, and allegedly failed to disclose material adverse facts concerning, the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, and asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Complaint does not quantify damages but seeks to recover damages on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired LifeMD’s common stock between January 19, 2021 and April 13, 2021. Similarly, on May 5, 2021, a second purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Cho v. LifeMD, Inc. et al. , Case No. 21-cv-04004, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the same aforementioned parties (the “Cho Lawsuit”). The Cho Complaint makes the same claims as found in the Owens, Sr. Lawsuit, and, similarly, does not quantify damages and seeks to recover damages on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired LifeMD’s common stock during the same, aforementioned time period between January 19, 2021 and April 13, 2021.
