Pomerantz Named Lead Counsel in Securities Suit Against Rite Aid

On Friday, June 16th, U.S. District Judge Kelley Hodge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania named Pomerantz LLP as Lead Counsel on behalf of the plaintiffs in In re Rite Aid Corporation Sec. Lit. no. 2:22-cv-04201. The case alleges that Rite Aid misled investors about the growth of its Elixir pharmacy benefit management program. With over 2,000 stores, Rite Aid is one of America’s largest pharmacies. In 2015, in order to compete with companies like Walgreens and CVS, Rite Aid purchased a pharmacy benefit management company called EnvisionRx, which they rebranded Elixir. Rite Aid leadership was positive about Elixir’s prospects.
