Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, Akorn, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain current and
former Company officers and directors are named defendants in a putative class action litigation captioned In re Akorn, Inc. Data Integrity Securities Litigation,
C.A. No. 18-cv-1713 (N.D. Ill.) (the “Securities Class Action”), filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Court”). On August 9, 2019, the Company and the other defendants in the Securities Class Action entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to resolve the Securities Class Action and the claims of the putative class. On August 26, 2019, the Court, among other things, preliminarily approved the
settlement, subject to final approval at a settlement hearing (the “Settlement Hearing”) to be held at a later date.
On March 6, 2020, lead plaintiffs in the Securities Class Action issued a press release via PR Newswire and instructed the settlement claims administrator to update the settlement website to notify the putative class that the Settlement Hearing had been scheduled for March 13, 2020. Between March 9,
2020 and March 12, 2020, entities affiliated with two of the six institutional investors who had previously requested exclusion from the settlement withdrew their requests for exclusion.
At the Settlement Hearing on March 13, 2020, the Court granted the lead plaintiff’s unopposed motion for final approval of the class action settlement
and plan of allocation, certified a plaintiffs’ class for settlement purposes, found the settlement consideration fair, reasonable and adequate, and approved lead plaintiff’s application for an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Later
on March 13, 2020, the Court entered a final order and judgment.
