CYTODYN TECHNOLOGIES INVESTIGATION INITIATED by Former Louisiana Attorney General: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates the Officers and Directors of CytoDyn Inc. – CYDY

NEW ORLEANS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into CytoDyn Inc. (OTC: CYDY).

Beginning in early 2020, the Company began pivoting its existing drug candidate, leronlimab, which was originally developed for the treatment of HIV, for use as a treatment for severe cases of COVID-19. On March 5, 2021, the Company issued a press release purporting to tout the positive trial results of leronlimab, stating in part, that “the Phase 3 trial of leronlimab for the treatment of severe-to-critical patients with COVID-19 demonstrated continued safety, substantial improvement in the survival rate, and faster hospital discharge in critically ill COVID-19 patients.” However, on May 17, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration advised that, contrary to CytoDyn’s public statements, “it has become clear that the data currently available do not support the clinical benefit of leronlimab for the treatment of COVID-19.”

The Company has been sued in a securities class action lawsuit for failing to disclose material information, violating federal securities laws, which remains ongoing.

KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether CytoDyn’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
