Bernstein Liebhard LLP Announces That Only 10 Days Remain To File A Motion For Lead Plaintiff In A Class Action Filed Against Ocular Therapeutix, Inc.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2017

The complaint alleges that, throughout the class period, Defendants issued materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Ocular failed to adequately address issues identified in the First Form 483; (ii) Ocular's re-submitted NDA would not be approved by the July 19, 2017 PDUFA date because the Company could not timely and adequately address the FDA-identified manufacturing and control issues; (iii) Ocular's continued manufacturing issues imperil the approval of DEXTENZA; and (iv) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of all Class members who invested in Ocular securities during the Class Period.  If you invested in Ocular securities as described above, and lost money on the transactions, you may wish to join in this action to serve as lead plaintiff.  In order to do so, you must meet certain requirements set forth in the applicable law and file appropriate papers no later than September 5, 2017.

A "lead plaintiff" is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.  In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class.  Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as lead plaintiff.  Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.  You may retain Bernstein Liebhard LLP, or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.

If you are interested in discussing your rights as an Ocular investor and/or have information relating to the matter, please contact Joseph R. Seidman, Jr. at (877) 779-1414 or seidman@bernlieb.com.

Bernstein Liebhard LLP has pursued hundreds of securities, consumer and shareholder rights cases and recovered over $3.5 billion for its clients.  The Firm has been named to the National Law Journal's "Plaintiffs' Hot List" thirteen times.
