On November 8, 2018, a putative securities class action complaint captioned Pavel Savelstrov v. Menlo Therapeutics, Inc., et al. , Case No.18-CIV-06049, was filed in state court in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo, against Menlo Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), certain of its current executive officers and its directors, and certain underwriters in the Company’s initial public offering.
The complaint alleges violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 due to allegedly false and misleading statements in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
