Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Orthofix Medical Inc. (OFIX) Misled Investors Regarding its Leadership Team

Robbins LLP informs investors that a shareholder filed a class action on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Orthofix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: OFIX) stock between October 11, 2022 and September 12, 2023. Orthofix is a global spine and orthopedics company that offers biologics, spinal hardware, bone growth therapies, and specialized orthopedic solutions, among other things, to healthcare professionals throughout the world.

The Allegations 

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants assured investors that the Company's management team consisted of individuals committed to conducting business in accordance with the highest ethical and legal standards, and further, that these individuals believed in and fostered a strong performance-based culture focused on integrity, collaboration, innovation, diversity, and corporate responsibility.  In fact, as was later revealed, Orthofix’s management team was engaged in “repeated inappropriate and offensive conduct that violated multiple code of conduct requirements,” which was also “inconsistent with the Company’s values and culture.”

Plaintiff alleges that on September 12, 2023, defendants announced the appointment of an interim CEO, interim CFO, and interim CLO, effective immediately, following the “unanimous decision by the Board’s independent directors to terminate for cause Keith Valentine, John Bostjancic and Patrick Keran from those respective roles.” On this news, the Company’s stock declined $5.62 per share, or over 30%, to close at $13.01 per share on September 13, 2023,
