The Allegations:Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Metagenomi Inc. (MGX) Misled Investors Regarding its Relationship with Moderna, Inc.
According to the complaint, Metagenomi introduced itself to investors during its IPO as a “genetic medicines company” having a long-standing business relationship with Moderna. Integral to Metagenomi’s collaboration with Moderna was the claim that the two companies had entered into a Strategic Collaboration and License Agreement on October 29, 2021, which included multiple four-year research programs and a subsequent licensed product-by-licensed product agreement.
Under the terms of the collaboration, Metagenomi and Moderna planned to advance a series of in vivo gene editing therapeutics against undisclosed targets. However, less than three months after Metagenomi's IPO, on May 1, 2024, the Company announced that it and Moderna had “mutually agreed to terminate their collaboration” agreement. In response to the news, Metagenomi’s stock price declined from $7.04 per share on May 1, 2024 to $6.17 per share on May 2, 2024.
