(“Cerevel” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CERE), Bain Capital Investors, LLC (“Bain”) and Pfizer, Inc.

The complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose material facts in connection with Cerevel’s October 16, 2023 secondary stock offering at $22.81, in which Cerevel’s controlling shareholder, Bain, acquired Cerevel shares while allegedly in possession of material nonpublic information regarding AbbVie’s interest in acquiring the Company. Two months later, the Company disclosed the agreement with AbbVie at a price of $45 per share resulting in a windfall for Bain. The complaint alleges that Cerevel’s January 18, 2024, Proxy statement for the AbbVie acquisition misled investors regarding the true nature and timing of the sales process and related conflicts, including that the process and October Offering were orchestrated by Bain and Pfizer in order to maximize  profits and rush through a sale of the Company even if it was not in the best interest of public shareholders.
