Drugmaker Indivior to abandon London listing amid exodus of companies
The drugmaker Indivior has become the latest company to abandon its listing in London, heaping further pressure on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) to reinvigorate itself. The Virginia-based company, which makes the opioid addiction treatments Sublocade and Suboxone, switched its main stock listing to the US last year, but now plans to cancel the secondary listing it had retained in London. Indivior said on Monday that in making the decision it had considered the liquidity and trading volumes of its shares on the US's Nasdaq exchange compared with the LSE; the location of its shareholders; and the cost and administrative requirements related to the London listing. More than 80% of Indivior's net revenues come from the US, which has been in the grip of an opioid crisis for decades, after a rise in the use of opioid painkillers led to increasing addiction rates and a sharp rise in fatal overdoses. David Wheadon, the Indivior chair, said: 'A single primary listing on Nasdaq best reflects the profile of Indivior's business. We appreciate the support received from shareholders for this initiative and look forward to capitalising on the expected benefits of this move, including reductions in cost and complexity.' The London-listed share price fell by 2% to 925.7p on Monday, giving Indivior a market value of nearly £1.2bn. The LSE has been hit by an exodus of companies, such as the Anglo-German travel company Tui, which opted for a sole listing in Frankfurt last year. 'The London Stock Exchange will be upset it is losing another big name,' said Russ Mould, the investment director at AJ Bell. 'It means the pressure is on to attract new names to the market and keep existing ones.' The blow was softened as the LSE welcomed Anglo American's $11bn (£8bn) platinum spin-off Valterra, which became independent from the mining company. Valterra is listed in South Africa and will now have a London listing as well. Anglo retains a 19.9% stake for now but has promised to sell it down over time. Mould said he had expected Indivior to exit London entirely, as its business is focused on the US, where most of its shareholders are based. The company had been listed in London because it was spun off in 2014 from the UK consumer goods group Reckitt Benckiser, itself listed in London. Indivior appointed the pharma veteran Joseph Ciaffoni as chief executive in February, replacing Mark Crossley after warning of a sharp drop in revenues this year. Last year it posted 9% sales growth to almost $1.2bn. This was driven by Sublocade, a prescription medicine that is injected once a month by health professionals to treat addiction to opioid drugs in adults, alongside mental health support. Suboxone is a similar drug but is given as tablets or as a film that dissolves when placed under the tongue. Sublocade's 2025 sales are expected to be flat compared with last year, while Suboxone film faces a 50% slump in sales because of competition from generic drugs, and Indivior will discontinue Perseris, its once-monthly schizophrenia drug. Indivior also said in February it faced 'numerous lawsuits', including an allegation that Suboxone film was 'defectively designed and caused dental injury'. There have also been cases brought by shareholders in the UK and US. Indivior faces a lawsuit from Wirral council, which administers the Merseyside Pension Fund, in London's high court over alleged false marketing of Suboxone. The case was thrown out in 2023; Wirral council appealed, and Indivior said in February it intended to 'vigorously defend' itself. In 2019, the US justice department charged Indivior with fraudulently claiming Suboxone film was better and safer than similar drugs. Its former parent, Reckitt, agreed to pay a $1.4bn fine to settle the case in July 2019, without any admission of wrongdoing, while Indivior said in 2020 that it had 'pleaded guilty to one count of making a false statement relating to healthcare matters in 2012' and that it would make payments to federal and state authorities totalling $600m over seven years. Shaun Thaxter, the former Indivior chief executive, was sentenced to six months in federal prison in 2020 after pleading guilty to his role in a scheme to secure Medicaid coverage for Suboxone film by misleading officials about its dangers to children.

Belcourt man to serve 360 days for involvement with transporting fentanyl in Grand Forks County
May 30—GRAND FORKS — A Belcourt man changed his plea Wednesday, May 28, and was sentenced to five years in prison, first serving 360 days, for committing fentanyl crimes in Grand Forks County. Christian Lee LaRocque, 22, pleaded guilty to his two felony charges: Class A felony possession of at least 40 grams of fentanyl with intent to deliver and Class C felony unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. The Class A felony charge has a maximum 20-year prison sentence, but with credit for time served since Oct. 26, he has 145 days remaining in custody. After release, LaRocque will be on supervised probation for three years. He forfeited any items seized in the case, and must also complete a chemical dependency evaluation within 60 days. LaRocque was part of a group of five people who were pulled over on Oct. 25 after law enforcement tracked them on suspicion that they were involved in transporting drugs from Detroit, Michigan, to North Dakota, according to a declaration of probable cause filed in the case. It was believed that the group planned to bring the drugs to the Turtle Mountain Reservation. Law enforcement located a vehicle that was speeding and, after pulling it over, established probable cause to search it because of a marijuana odor, the declaration said. They found a bag of fentanyl in the back of the driver's seat that weighed 90.31 grams, another bag in the back of a rear passenger seat that weighed 104.72 grams, drug paraphernalia, eight fentanyl pills inside of a soda can and 15.5 Suboxone pills. At the time, LaRocque said he was working for the task force and only got involved because he knew law enforcement was looking for Olivia Rain Patneaud; he said he planned on attempting controlled buys from her, according to the declaration. Law enforcement knew this was not actually the case. Patneaud and two other defendants, Jomell Emery Helm and Melvin Earl Byrd, have been indicted by a grand jury on federal drug charges: conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribute controlled substances; possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance; and two counts of maintaining a drug-involved premises. Their state-level cases were dismissed. At this time, their trials are scheduled for June 24. The final defendant, Darla Rae Belgarde, pleaded guilty to the same felony charges as LaRocque in February and was sentenced to six years in prison. She was the driver of the vehicle that was pulled over, according to court documents.

‘They can't get complacent': Monroe police go undercover dressed as high school students
Monroe Police are disguising themselves as high school students to remind school staff to be on alert. Channel 9's Gina Esposito learned it's part of a Monroe Police operation to ensure school's are keeping up with security. The disguised officers were able to get inside multiple schools, no questions asked, dressed in jeans and a hoodie. Police said they've been doing this since 2018. The idea came from an SRO assigned to Union Academy which then expanded to all schools in Monroe. In every operation undercover officers were able to get into the school, police said. 'One time a student allowed an undercover officer to come in a door and the teacher gave him a late pass even though he didn't belong there,' Lt. Morgan Malone of the Monroe Police Department said. In another operation, an officer walked into a high school, signed under a student's name and sat through a class, Malone said. ALSO READ: Former student arrested for bringing AR-15-style rifle to Union County school campus They've tested two schools this year, including Union Academy Charter. Police say an officer disguised as a student got in and walked around for 20 minutes. Parents said students were then reminded to wear their badges. 'After every operation the school resources officer debrief with the school administration, so whatever the issue was.. I believe one was that they were able to access through a maintenance gate that was unlocked,' Malone said. 'Certainly that was taken care of after the fact.' An officer also visited Rocky River Elementary disguised as a staff member, Malone said. Union County Public Schools said one of its staff members stopped them and sent them to the front office. While the officer was stopped, Malone said officers have always been able to get inside, and the goal is to change that. 'I think as a parent it's definitely frightening,' Malone said. 'It's something we have to think about, but hopefully it will be a tool and the education will help the school and even the students in the school understand that they can't get complacent; they have to keep their guard up.' Channel 9 reached out to Union County Public School about these undercover operations. School leaders said they support this effort, and they conduct their own safety assessments. The district added that they work with other law enforcement agencies and score each school's vulnerabilities. The results are then reported to administration, so they can make the needed changes. The district says it expects staff members to be leaders in identifying people who don't belong in schools.
