Investigation into Revance Therapeutics: Potential Fiduciary Duties Breach Allegations
New York, NY, March 6, 2025 – Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a leading shareholder rights law firm, is currently investigating potential claims on behalf of long-term stockholders of Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: RVNC) following a class action complaint filed against the company on January 3, 2025. The class action lawsuit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, alleges that the board of directors of Revance Therapeutics breached their fiduciary duties during the Class Period, which is defined as February 29, 2024, to December 6, 2024.
Background
Revance Therapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing novel injectable products for aesthetic and therapeutic indications. The company’s most advanced product candidate is DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (RT002), a highly-concentrated botulinum toxin type A product intended for use in the treatment of glabellar lines, or frown lines between the eyebrows.
Class Action Lawsuit
The class action complaint alleges that during the Class Period, the Revance Therapeutics board of directors failed to disclose material information regarding the safety and efficacy of RT002, as well as the company’s financial situation. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the board failed to disclose that: (1) RT002’s safety profile was not as favorable as represented; (2) RT002’s clinical trial data was misleading; and (3) the company’s financial statements were materially misstated.
Impact on Individual Investors
If the allegations in the class action complaint are proven true, Revance Therapeutics long-term stockholders may have legal recourse. The Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 protect investors by making it unlawful to provide false or misleading information to investors. If the board of directors breached their fiduciary duties, they may have violated these securities laws.
Impact on the World
The outcome of this investigation and potential class action lawsuit could have far-reaching implications for the biotechnology industry as a whole. If the allegations are proven true, it could deter investors from putting their trust and money into biotech companies, potentially slowing down innovation and progress in this field. Moreover, it could lead to increased scrutiny and regulations on the biotech industry, making it more difficult for companies to bring new products to market.
