San Francisco, California--(Newsfile Corp. - May 7, 2021) -  On April 12, 2021, Berman Tabacco filed a class action lawsuit for violations of the federal securities laws against FibroGen, Inc. ("FibroGen" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FGEN), and certain of its current and former officers and directors, on behalf of all other persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired FibroGen securities and/or sold put options from November 8, 2019, through and including April 6, 2021 (the "Class Period").

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California and asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. §§78j(b) and 78t(a). The case is captioned Xu v. FibroGen, Inc., et al., No. 3:21-cv-02623. A copy of the complaint is available on the firm's website.

The complaint alleges, among other things, that on April 6, 2021, the Company revealed that its previously disclosed safety data included undisclosed post-hoc changes to the stratification factors and did not include analyses based on the pre-specified stratification factors. As a result of these changes, the complaint alleges FibroGen was forced to concede that roxadustat, contrary to prior representations, did not reduce the risk of cardiovascular events or hospitalization as compared to a currently approved anemia injection used as a control based on pre-specified stratification factors. On this news, the Company's share price fell $14.90, or 43%, to close at $19.74 per share on April 7, 2021, on heavy volume.

If you wish to serve as Lead Plaintiff for the Class, you must file a motion to serve as Lead Plaintiff with the Court no later than June 11, 2021. Any member of the proposed Class may either move the Court to serve as Lead Plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or choose to do nothing and remain a member of the proposed Class.
