Background on Bolt Biotherapeutics, Inc.
Headquartered in Redwood City, California, Bolt is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company,
focused on developing immunotherapies for cancer treatment, primarily through its “Boltbody” pipeline. The Boltbody pipeline includes BDC-1001, an immune-stimulating antibody conjugate (“ISAC”) targeting the tumor antigen HER2, and programs targeting the cancer antigen Claudin 18.2.
The Securities Fraud Claims
Throughout the Class Period, the Class Action Complaint alleges that Defendants made false and/or misleading statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose that: (i) BDC-1001 was less effective than the Company had represented to investors and was unlikely to meet its pre-defined success criteria; (ii) accordingly, Defendants overstated the clinical and/or commercial prospects of Bolt’s product pipeline, which the Company relied upon to sustain its business; and (iii) the foregoing subjected the Company to a heightened risk of disruptive leadership transitions and substantial workforce reduction.
On May 14, 2024, Bolt announced it would cease development of BDC-1001, focus on BDC-3042 and BDC-4182, move its CEO and CMO to advisory roles, and reduce its workforce by 50%. Analysts immediately downgraded BOLT stock, citing concerns about the commercial prospects of BDC-3042 and BDC-4182, and the departure of the Company’s CEO and CMO. On this news, Bolt’s stock price fell $0.49 per share, or 37.12%, to close at $0.83 per share on May 15, 2024.
