(Nasdaq:ICPT), if they purchased the Company's securities during the period between January 9, 2014 and January 10, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period"). This action is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

About the Lawsuit

Intercept and certain of its executives are charged with issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On January 9 and 10, 2014, Intercept announced that its Phase 2 trial of its primary drug compound obeticholic acid had been stopped early based on an interim analysis that showed that the efficacy endpoint of the trial had been met.

Then, on Friday, January 10, 2014, after the markets closed, the National Institutes of Health issued a written statement revealing that, while the efficacy primary endpoint in the study had already been met, participants in the study who received the drug suffered disproportionate levels of lipid abnormalities. On this news, Intercept's stock price plummeted.
