LOS ANGELES -- 

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the November 13, 2018 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors that purchased OPKO Health, Inc. (“Opko” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: OPK) securities between September 26, 2013 and September 7, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Opko investors have until November 13, 2018 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

On September 7, 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed a lawsuit against Opko and its CEO and Chairman Phillip Frost, alleging that Opko and Frost engaged in pump-and-dump schemes. On this news, Opko’s share price fell $1.01 per share, or more than 18%, to close at $4.58 on September 7, 2018, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Opko and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Phillip Frost, were engaged in a pump-and-dump scheme with several other individuals and companies in their investments in several penny stocks; (2) this illicit scheme would result in governmental scrutiny including from the SEC; and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about Opko’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
