Item 1. Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, other than described below, neither the Company nor any of its officers or directors is a party to any material legal proceeding or litigation and such persons know of no material legal proceeding or contemplated or threatened litigation.
On January 19, 2024, a purported shareholder class action complaint, captionedEric Olmstead v. BioVie Inc. et al., No. 3:24-cv-00035, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, naming the Company and certain of its officers as defendants. On February 22, 2024, a second, related putative securities class action was filed in the same court asserting similar claims against the same defendants, captionedWay v. BioVie Inc. et al., No. 2:24-cv-00361. On April 15, 2024, the court consolidated these two actions under the captionIn re BioVie Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 3:24-cv-00035, appointed the lead plaintiff, and approved selection of the lead counsel. On June 21, 2024, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, alleging that the defendants made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact relating to the Company’s business, operations, compliance, and prospects, including information related to the NM101 Phase 3 study and trial of bezisterim (NE3107) in mild to moderate probable AD, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The class action is on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities during the period from December 7, 2022 through November 28, 2023, and seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on August 21, 2024, and that motion was fully briefed as of December 5, 2024. On March 27, 2025, the court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss, allowing the case to move into fact discovery. The defendants believe that the claims are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.
On December 30, 2024, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada by putative stockholder Andrew Hulm, allegedly on behalf of the Company, that piggy-backs on the securities class action also pending in that court. The derivative complaint names certain current and former officers and directors as defendants, and generally alleges that they breached their fiduciary duties by causing or failing to prevent the securities violations alleged in the securities class action. The derivative complaint also alleges claims for unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, gross mismanagement, and abuse of control as against all defendants. The defendants believe that the claims are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.
On April 28, 2025, a second shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada by putative stockholder William Settel, allegedly on behalf of the Company, that alleges essentially the same claims as in the Hulm derivative litigation, against the same defendants based on the same alleged conduct. The Settel derivative complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, and waste of corporate assets against all defendants. The defendants believe that the claims are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.
