What is this Case About: Illumina, Inc. (ILMN) Misled Investors Regarding Insider's Personal Motives for Acquiring GRAIL

According to the complaint, in 2015, Illumina formed GRAIL, Inc. as a corporate subsidiary to develop a blood-based cancer detection test. After several capital financing rounds, Illumina spun off GRAIL in February 2017 and retained a stake of approximately 20%. After GRAIL raised $1.9 billion through venture capital and strategic partners, Illumina announced plans to reacquire GRAIL in September 2020. The acquisition was completed on August 18, 2022, over the objection of the European Union’s European Commission.

On August 10, 2023, Illumina revealed that the SEC was investigating the Company’s statements regarding GRAIL, including “conduct and compensation of certain members of Illumina and GRAIL management.” On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $4.64, or 2.5%, to close at $180.48 per share on August 11, 2023.

The complaint alleges that on October 17, 2023, Carl Icahn filed a complaint against current and former directors of Illumina, alleging direct and derivative claims of breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint was filed under seal, but according to Reuters, Icahn “told the 13D Monitor Active-Passive Investor Summit in New York on Tuesday that the lawsuit pertained to Illumina completing its acquisition of cancer diagnostic test maker Grail.” On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $7.42, or 5.6%, to close at $124.45 per share on October 18, 2023.
