  • Purdue Pharma to Pay $270 Million to Settle Historic Oklahoma Opioid Lawsuit
    Purdue Pharma to pay $270 million to settle historic Oklahoma opioid lawsuit (CNN) — Purdue Pharma has agreed to pay $270 million to settle a historic lawsuit brought by the Oklahoma attorney general, who accused the OxyContin maker of aggressively marketing the opioid painkiller and fueling a drug epidemic that left thousands dead in the state. The settlement comes after Purdue fought the attorney general in court, seeking to delay the start of the trial, which is scheduled for May 28. "It is a new day in Oklahoma, and for the nation, in our battle against addiction and the opioid epidemic," Attorney General Mike Hunter said Tuesday in Tulsa. Hunter said that $102.5 million of the settlement would be used to help establish a national addiction treatment and research center at Oklahoma State University, with additional payments of $15 million each year for the next five years beginning in 2020. The company will also provide $20 million of addiction treatment and opioid rescue medications to the center over the same five-year time frame. A remaining $12.5 million from the settlement will be used directly to help cities and counties with the opioid crisis. The Sackler family, who founded and own Purdue Pharma, will also contribute $75 million over the next five years to the treatment and research center. "Purdue is very pleased to have reached an agreement with Oklahoma that will help those who are battling addiction now and in the future," Dr. Craig Landau, president and CEO of Purdue Pharma, said in a statement. The lawsuit was brought by Hunter against some of the nation's leading makers of opioid pain medications, alleging that deceptive marketing over the past decade fueled the epidemic in the state.

  • Influential Women in Securities: Michele Johnson by Carmen Germaine

In the highly publicized case, Johnson and the Latham team were on the frontline defending Allergan Inc. from the hostile bid using a novel, untested theory — that Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc., billionaire activist investor Bill Ackman and Michele Johnson his fund Pershing Square Capital Management LP had committed insider trading in Latham & Watkins LLP developing their scheme. "It was all-out war," Johnson recalled. As Johnson explained, Valeant and Pershing publicly announced the takeover offer on April 22, 2014, a day after Pershing revealed that it had covertly amassed a 9.7 percent stake in Allergan. Allergan's board rebuffed the offer, concerned about the long-term viability of Valeant's strategy, which involved acquiring pharmaceutical rivals, slashing their research budgets and jacking up drug prices. As Valeant and Pershing pushed forward with their hostile bid, the Botox manufacturer filed a lawsuit to halt the purchase. The suit, filed Aug. 1, made immediate waves.
