Did You Acquire (XCUR) Before January 7, 2021? Should Management Be Held Accountable for Investors Losses? Contact Johnson Fistel

San Diego, California--(Newsfile Corp. - February 17, 2022) - Johnson Fistel, LLP is investigating potential claims on behalf of Exicure, Inc. ("Exicure" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: XCUR) against certain of its officers and directors.

Recently, a class action complaint was filed against Exicure. According to the complaint, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that there had been certain improprieties in Exicure's preclinical program for the treatment of Friedreich's ataxia; (2) that Exicure lacked effective internal controls over the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data relating to Exicure's preclinical program for the treatment of Friedreich's ataxia; (3) that, as a result, the Company misreported the efficacy of XCUR-FXN in various public presentations and SEC filings from (at least) January 7, 2021 through August 12, 2021; (4) that, as a result, the Company would have to suspend its development of XCUR-FXN for the treatment of Friedreich's ataxia; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

If you are a current, long-term shareholder of Exicure holding shares before January 7, 2022, you may have standing to hold Exicure harmless from the alleged harm caused by the Company's officers and directors by making them personally responsible. You may also be able to assist in reforming the Company's corporate governance to prevent future wrongdoing.
