(“ESSA” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ:EPIX) during the period from December 12, 2023, to October 31, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

What is the Allegation Against ESSA Pharma Inc.?
The complaint alleges that ESSA Pharma and certain of its executives made false and misleading statements to the market regarding the Company’s financial condition and its prospects. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that ESSA Pharma failed to disclose material information about the Company’s financial condition and its prospects, including the true reasons for the delay in the initiation of a clinical trial for its lead drug candidate, EPI-5895. This delay led to a significant decline in ESSA Pharma’s stock price, causing harm to investors.

If the allegations in the complaint are proven, ESSA Pharma and its executives may be liable for their misconduct and may be required to pay damages to the class.
What is the Impact on the World?
The implications of this lawsuit extend beyond just ESSA Pharma and its investors. The allegations of misconduct and failure to disclose material information can erode investor confidence in the biotech industry as a whole. This can lead to a decrease in investment in biotech companies, making it more difficult for them to raise capital and bring new treatments to market. Furthermore, the lawsuit can also lead to increased regulatory scrutiny of biotech companies and the securities industry as a whole, potentially leading to new regulations and increased compliance costs.
