San Diego, California--(Newsfile Corp. - August 1, 2023) - Johnson Fistel, LLP, a shareholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Bausch Health Companies ("Bausch" or "the Company") (NYSE: BHC) investors who acquired securities between August 6, 2020 and May 3, 2023, inclusive (the "Class Period"). If you are a shareholder who incurred losses during this period, you have until September 25, 2023, to move the court to become a lead plaintiff in this action.

According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Bausch + Lomb Corporation ("B+L") spinoff would not result in two strong separate companies; (2) without B+L, Bausch was left overly leveraged and without the cashflow generated by B+L; (3) distribution of the B+L spinoff shares would not occur as represented; (4) the above statements omitted and/or concealed the potential damages Bausch faced from the multiple hedge funds and institutional investors who "opted out" of the class action settlement in favor of pursuing individual claims ("Opt-Out Plaintiffs"); and (5) the spinoff was not intended to benefit Bausch shareholders but instead designed to subvert the Opt-Out Plaintiffs' lawsuit against the company. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

A lead plaintiff will act on behalf of all other class members in directing the class-action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the class-action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share any potential future recovery of the class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
