NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP ("Scott+Scott"), an international securities and consumer rights litigation firm, announces that it filed a class action lawsuit against Vaxart, Inc. (NASDAQ: VXRT) ("Vaxart" or the "Company"), certain directors and officers of the Company, and Armistice Capital LLP.  The case was filed in the Central District of California and brings claims under Sections 10(b), 20(a), and 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Lead plaintiff motions are due October 23, 2020.

Vaxart is a small, clinical-stage biotechnology company primarily focused on the development of oral recombinant vaccines based on its proprietary oral vaccine platform.  In early 2020, Vaxart purportedly began to develop a Covid-19 vaccine.

In late June 2020, Vaxart made a couple of announcements regarding its Covid-19 vaccine and the stock price increased dramatically.

Soon after these announcements, Vaxart's largest shareholder, Armistice Capital LLP, sold massive amounts of its Vaxart shares for a huge profit.

On July 25, 2020, The New York Times published an article entitled Corporate Insiders Pocket $1 Billion in Rush for Coronavirus Vaccine.  The article reported that, "Vaxart is not among the companies selected to receive significant financial support from [the U.S. Government's Operation] Warp Speed."

On this news, the price of Vaxart shares dropped and the Company's stock price has continued to decline.
