("KemPharm" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: KMPH). Such investors are encouraged to obtain additional information and assist the investigation by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/kmph.    

The investigation concerns whether KemPharm and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In December 2015, KemPharm submitted a New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for the its Apadaz product, envisioned to be branded as an "abuse-deterrent" opioid product offering equivalent effectiveness to the existing standard-of-care products, but with less of an addictive effect. 

On April 16, 2015, KemPharm sold 5,090,909 shares in its Initial Public Offering and raised $52,079,999 in new capital. On May 5, 2016, KemPharm announced that the Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee and the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee of the FDA had reviewed and voted 18 to 2 against Apadaz and inclusion of abuse-deterrent labeling for the product.  The FDA identified an issue with the study design of the drug that made it problematic to use in assessing the abuse-deterrent effect of the drug.  Following this news, KemPharm stock dropped $8.76 per share, or 55.9%, to close at $6.91 on May 6, 2016.
