According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Myriad was submitting false or otherwise improper claims for payment under Medicare and Medicaid for the Company's hereditary cancer testing; (2) the foregoing conduct would foreseeably subject Myriad to heightened regulatory scrutiny and/or enforcement action; (3) Myriad's revenues from its hereditary cancer testing were in part the product of improper conduct and unlikely to be sustainable; and (4) as a result, Myriad's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On March 12, 2018, during aftermarket hours, Myriad disclosed that it had received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, in connection with "an investigation into possible false or otherwise improper claims submitted for payment under Medicare and Medicaid," specifically relating to Myriad's hereditary cancer testing. The subpoena covers a time period from January 1, 2014?less  than four months after the September 2013 launch of Myriad's myRisk cancer test?through the date of the subpoena's issuance. On this news, Myriad's stock fell $4.01, or 12.14%, to close at $29.01 on March 13, 2018, damaging investors.
