Allovir Inc

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become subject to arbitration, litigation or claims arising in the ordinary course of business. On January 19, 2024, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a lawsuit, captioned Zerbato v. AlloVir, Inc. et al., No. 1:24-cv-10152 (D. Mass.), in Massachusetts federal court against the Company and two of its officers purportedly on behalf of a putative class of stockholders consisting of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between March 22, 2022 and December 21, 2023, inclusive. The complaint purports to assert claims under Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and the related regulations, alleging that the defendants made false and misleading statements and omissions to investors relating to the Company’s three Phase 3 studies of posoleucel. The complaint seeks, among other things, damages, prejudgment and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees, expert fees and other costs. On April 16, 2024, the Court appointed stockholders Harry Levin and Julio Maurice Bueno as lead plaintiffs and their counsel as lead counsel in the action. On April 29, 2024, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation regarding a schedule for the filing of an amended complaint and motion to dismiss briefing. On June 17, 2024, lead plaintiffs filed their amended complaint. In the amended complaint, lead plaintiffs assert claims purportedly on behalf of a putative class of stockholders consisting of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between January 11, 2023 and December 21, 2023, inclusive, which is a narrower putative class than in the original complaint. The amended complaint otherwise asserts the same claims and seeks the same relief as the original complaint. Defendants are due to file their motion to dismiss the amended complaint on August 16, 2024. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.
