October 3rd Deadline Alert: GPM Reminds Investors of the Upcoming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Keryx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Announces Expanded Class Period

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM") reminds investors of the October 3, 2016 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action lawsuit filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Keryx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Keryx" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: KERX) securities in the newly expanded Class Period of September 2, 2013 and August 1, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Keryx investors have October 3, 2016 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

The complaint filed in this lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed t disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) that the Company was experiencing production-related difficulties in converting API to finished drug product; (2) that the issue was resulting in decreased production yields of finished drug product; (3) that, as a result, the Company would, and did exhaust its reserve of finished drug product; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' statements about Keryx's business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Keryx shares during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than October 3, 2016 to request appointment as lead plaintiff. To be a member of the class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.
