Precigen | PGEN (Ex Intrexon | XON) agreed to pay $13 million to settle a securities class action lawsuit to avoid further litigation.

The Complaint alleged that the Company & Its Leaders made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose to investors that:

  • yields from natural gas as a feedstock were substantially lower than the aforementioned pure methane yields;
  • due to the substantial price difference between pure methane and natural gas, pure methane was not a commercially viable feedstock;
