The complaint alleges that during the Class Period the Company made false and/or misleading statements regarding the positive nature of interim data from its Phase 2 study of the drugs VX-809 and Kalydeco.

On May 29, 2012, Vertex issued a series of press releases in which it acknowledged that the results from its clinical trials were not as positive as previously indicated. These results were further restated on June 28, 2012.

If you suffered a loss in Vertex you have until July 28, 2014 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff. To obtain additional information, contact Joseph E.
