Chembio Diagnostics (CEMI) $8.1 MM Securities Litigation Settlement

Pending settlement
12 March 2020
Class period Start
16 June 2020
Class period End
23 June 2023
Claim deadline
Chembio Diagnostics (CEMI) agreed to pay $8.1 million to settle a securities class action lawsuit to avoid further litigation.

The Complaint alleged that the Company and its Leaders participated in a scheme to deceive the market by misrepresenting the effectiveness of the Company's DPP COVID-19 test. This conduct artificially inflated the price of Chembio stock and constituted fraud or deceit against purchasers of Chembio stock. When the truth about the negative factors affecting Chembio's business became public, the price of Chembio stock significantly dropped, resulting in a material decline that removed the inflation from the stock price. As a result, investors who purchased Chembio stock suffered real economic losses.
