Claim deadlineCardinal Health (CAH) agreed to settle $109 million with Investors.
The action arose from the Company & its Leaders' alleged misrepresentations and omissions concerning Cardinal's integration of Cordis Corp. in 2015, a medical device manufacturer that Cardinal had purchased from Johnson & Johnson. There were also inventory and supply chain problems at Cordis.
The Complaint alleged that the Company & its Leaders misled investors by stating that Cordis would benefit from Cardinal's advanced inventory management and supply chain information technology solutions. Additionally, they falsely represented that the Company properly "reserve[d] for inventory obsolescence" and that "[i]nventories presented in the consolidated balance sheets [were] net of reserves for excess and obsolete inventory."
As a result of these misrepresentations, Cardinal's shares allegedly traded at artificially inflated prices.
