SEC Charges TherapeuticsMD With Regulation FD Violations

By Securities Docket on August 21, 2019, 10:17 am

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged TherapeuticsMD Inc., a pharmaceutical company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, with violations of Regulation FD based on its sharing of material, nonpublic information with sell-side research analysts without also disclosing the same information to the public.

The SEC’s order finds that on two separate occasions in 2017, TherapeuticsMD selectively shared material information with analysts about the company’s interactions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  As detailed in the SEC’s order, on June 15, 2017, one day after a publicly-announced meeting with the FDA about a new drug approval, TherapeuticsMD sent private messages to sell-side analysts describing the meeting as “very positive and productive.”  TherapeuticsMD’s stock price closed up 19.4 percent on heavy trading volume the next day.  At that time, the company had not issued a press release or made any other market-wide disclosure about the meeting.
