[You may also click here for additional information] New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 18, 2025) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against PepGen Inc. ('PepGen' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: PEPG) and reminds investors of the August 11, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. [ This image cannot be displayed. Please visit the source: ] Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (i) PGN-EDO51 was less effective and safe than Defendants had led investors to believe; (ii) the CONNECT2 study was dangerous or otherwise deficient for purposes of U.S. Food and Drug Administration ('FDA') approval; (iii) as a result of all the foregoing, PepGen was likely to halt the CONNECT2 study, and PGN-EDO51's clinical, regulatory, and commercial prospects were overstated; and (iv) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On July 30, 2024, PepGen issued a press release announcing purported 'positive clinical data from the first dose cohort (5 mg/kg) of PGN-EDO51" in its ongoing CONNECT1 study. Among other results, the Company reported that 'PGN-EDO51 achieved a mean absolute dystrophin level of 0.61% of normal and a 0.26% change from baseline after 4 doses, measured at week 13 by Western blot analysis.' However, as subsequently noted by a Stifel analyst, 'the magnitude of dystrophin increase was below what [PepGen] anticipated, which is disappointing[.]' Likewise, a Leerink Partners analyst noted that the low dose missed PepGen's expectations of 1% or greater dystrophin expression. On this news, PepGen's stock price fell $5.55 per share, or 32.69%, to close at $11.43 per share on July 31, 2024. On December 16, 2024, PepGen issued a press release announcing that it had received a clinical hold notice from the FDA regarding an Investigational New Drug ('IND') application 'to initiate the [CONNECT2] clinical trial in patients with [DMD]' in the U.S. Notably, the FDA's issuance of a clinical hold notice for the IND application indicated that the FDA had concerns regarding risks posed to patients in the CONNECT2 study and/or there were other deficiencies associated with the study. On this news, PepGen's stock price fell $0.17 per share, or 3.63%, to close at $4.51 per share on December 16, 2024. On January 29, 2025, PepGen issued a press release providing updates regarding safety concerns observed in the CONNECT1 study and the FDA's concerns regarding the CONNECT2 study. With respect to the CONNECT1 study, the press release stated, inter alia, that "[d]osing of one of the[] . . . participants [in the 10 mg/kg cohort] was paused due to a reduction of his estimated glomerular filtration rate[.]' In addition, PepGen 'ha[d] received communication from Health Canada . . . request[ing] additional information from the Company to address Health Canada's safety concerns before any further dose escalation or enrollment of any additional participants at the current dose levels.' With respect to the CONNECT2 study, the same press release stated, in relevant part, that "[t]he Company is working with the FDA to address its questions regarding supportive data for the dosing levels planned for the patient population.' Following these disclosures, PepGen's stock price fell $0.40 per share, or 21.74%, to close at $1.44 per share on January 30, 2025. On March 4, 2025, PepGen issued a press release 'announc[ing] its voluntary decision to temporarily pause the [CONNECT2] study . . . until the Company can review results from the 10 mg/kg cohort in the ongoing [CONNECT1] study.' On this news, PepGen's stock price fell $0.53 per share, or 18.86%, to close at $2.28 per share on March 4, 2025. Then, on May 28, 2025, PepGen issued a press release announcing that 'PGN-EDO51 did not achieve target dystrophin levels' in the CONNECT1 study and had chosen to discontinue development of its DMD programs. The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not. Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding PepGen's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

[You may also click here for additional information] NEW YORK, July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against 3D Systems Corporation ('3D Systems' or the 'Company') (NYSE: DDD) and reminds investors of the August 12, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) 3D Systems had understated the impact of weakened customer spending on the Company's business, while overstating its resilience in challenging industry conditions; (2) in addition, the updated milestone criteria in the United Partnership would negatively impact the Company's Regenerative Medicine Program revenue; and (3) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On March 26, 2025, 3D Systems issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter ('Q4') and full-year 2024. Among other items, 3D Systems reported Q4 non-GAAP earnings-per-share of –$0.19, missing consensus estimates by $0.08 per share, and sales revenue of $111 million, representing a -3.4% year-over-year decline and missing consensus estimates by $4.17 million. Further, for full-year 2024, the Company reported sales of $440.1 million, a decrease of 10% compared to the prior year, driven by 'lower hardware systems sales due to macroeconomic factors that are negatively impacting demand.' Finally, 3D systems reported a '$9 million revenue reduction in Q4 driven by a change in accounting estimates for [the Company's] Regenerative Medicine program.' The Company disclosed that '[t]his change in estimate [was] related to the now anticipated use of pre-clinical human decedent testing[,] [. . .] which led to refinement of the milestone technical criteria.' On this news, 3D Systems' stock price fell $0.57 per share, or 20.96%, to close at $2.15 per share on March 27, 2025. Then, after the market closed on May 12, 2025, 3D Systems issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter ('Q1') of 2025. Among other items, 3D systems reported: revenue of $94.5 million, down 8% year-over-year and missing consensus estimates of $99.5 million; a net loss of $37 million, or $0.28 per share, more than doubling the $16 million loss reported in Q1 2024; an adjusted loss of $0.21 per share, deeper than consensus estimates of a loss of $0.14 per share; and adjusted EBITDA of a loss of $23.9 million, deepening from a $20.1 million loss in Q1 2024. The Company attributed its disappointing results, in part, to a decline in material sales, mostly due to inventory management issues in the dental portion of its Healthcare Solutions segment. 3D Systems also announced that it was withdrawing its full-year 2025 outlook, citing prolonged softness in customer capital spending and macroeconomic uncertainty. On this news, 3D Systems' stock price fell $0.68 per share, or 26.6%, to close at $1.87 per share on May 13, 2025. The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
