Milberg Weiss Announces Investigation Relating to Class Action Lawsuits Filed on Behalf of Certain Investors of Warner Chilcott Limited -- WCRX
19 November 2006 The law firm of Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman LLP announces that it is investigating possible illegal conduct as alleged in class action lawsuits filed by certain law firms on behalf of investors in Warner Chilcott Limited ("Warner Chilcott" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: WCRX) who purchased the common stock of Warner Chilcott pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's Registration Statement and Prospectus for its initial public offering on or about September 20, 2006 (the "IPO"). The class actions are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Warner Chilcott and certain of its officers and directors. The complaints in the above-referenced actions allege that Warner Chilcott and certain of its officers and directors violated the Securities Act of 1933 and/or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If you purchased the common stock of Warner Chilcott pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's Registration Statement and Prospectus for its IPO on or about September 20, 2006, you may, no later than January 2, 2007, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. To be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must decide that your claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that you will adequately represent the class. Your share in any recovery will not be enhanced or diminished by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman LLP, or other attorneys, to serve as your counsel in this action. The complaint in one of the above-referenced actions alleges that Warner Chilcott develops, manufactures, sells and markets branded prescription pharmaceutical products in women's healthcare and dermatology. Moreover, the complaint alleges that the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the IPO was materially false and misleading because it failed to disclose, among other things, that at the time of the IPO, the Company had stopped shipping one of its best selling products, namely Ovcon 35, a birth control pill, and that, as a result, the Company had eliminated a key source of revenue. According to the complaint, on September 26, 2006, Warner Chilcott issued a press release announcing that it had filed a supplement to the Registration Statement and Prospectus that disclosed that the Company had ceased shipments of Ovcon 35 in September 2006 and that it had launched a new product, Ovcon Chewable. In reaction to this news, the price of Warner Chilcott common shares fell $2.40 per share, or 16 percent, from its closing price of $15.00 on September 25, 2006, to close at $12.60 per share on September 26, 2006, on unusually heavy trading volume.
