More than 2 years af­ter the ug­ly ro­ci de­ba­cle, Clo­vis says that the SEC is prep­ping civ­il charges

The hot wa­ter that Clo­vis $CLVS has been in with the SEC for the past two years is be­gin­ning to boil.

The biotech to­day alert­ed in­vestors that the SEC has filed a Wells No­tice, sig­nal­ing its in­ten­tion to bring civ­il ac­tions against cur­rent and for­mer ex­ecs at the can­cer drug biotech. The SEC fil­ing did not spec­i­fy what ac­tions it will face, but Clo­vis did say it plans to con­test any charges.

Clo­vis’ 10-K has spot­light­ed an on­go­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tion by the SEC and the Jus­tice De­part­ment in­to an ug­ly in­ci­dent in late 2015 cen­tered on their now de­funct lung can­cer drug rocile­tinib, say­ing it was co­op­er­at­ing with the feds on their probe.
