Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP Reminds Investors of Pending Securities Class Actions Against Vaxart, Inc. (VXRT) and October 23, 2020 Lead Plaintiff Deadline

NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP ("Scott+Scott"), an international securities and consumer rights litigation firm, reminds investors that class action lawsuits bringing federal securities claims are pending against Vaxart, Inc. (NASDAQ: VXRT) ("Vaxart" or the "Company"), certain directors and officers of the Company, and Armistice Capital LLP. The lead plaintiff deadline in these cases is October 23, 2020. 

If you purchased Vaxart stock between June 25, 2020 and July 25, 2020, and have over $100,000 in realized or unrealized losses, you are encouraged to contact a Scott+Scott attorney for additional information at (844) 818-6982 or [email protected]. 

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.

Then, on July 25, 2020, The New York Times published an article entitled Corporate Insiders Pocket $1 Billion in Rush for Coronavirus Vaccine.  The article clarified one of Vaxart's announcements and 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.
