On September 12, 2023, Orthofix announced the unanimous decision by its Board’s independent directors to terminate and replace the three members of the Company’s management team, after the results of an investigation by independent outside legal counsel led the Board to determine that “each of th[o]se executives engaged in repeated inappropriate and offensive conduct.” On this news, the price of Orthofix shares declined $5.62 per share, or approximately 30%, from $18.63 on September 11, 2023 to close at $13.01 per share on September 12, 2023.
The Class Action alleges that Orthofix failed to disclose that certain of the Company’s management team had engaged in repeated inappropriate and offensive conduct.
