Policemen’s Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago Defeats Twist Bioscience Motion to Dismiss

Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is proud to announce that its client, the Policemen’s Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago (“PABF”), court-appointed lead plaintiff in the Twist Bioscience Corporation Securities Class Action, has taken a significant step forward in the pursuit of justice.

On September 3, 2025, Judge Eumi K. Lee of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California denied in part Defendants’ motion to dismiss the securities fraud class action Peters v. Twist Bioscience Corporation.  The Amended Complaint alleges that Twist and several members of its senior management misrepresented that the company possessed effective and efficient technology capable of producing synthetic DNA at higher quality and lower cost than its competitors.  Judge Lee concluded that the complaint sufficiently pleaded claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

Significantly, Judge Lee rejected Defendants’ argument that the complaint failed to adequately allege loss causation—i.e., that Defendants’ misstatements caused investors’ losses—because the alleged corrective disclosure came in the form of a short-seller report.  Judge Lee agreed with PABF’s position that Ninth Circuit law permits a corrective disclosure to originate from any source, including a short-seller report, so long as the allegations plausibly suggest that the disclosure revealed the truth and contributed to the company’s stock price decline.

The case will now proceed to discovery.

Substantial Settlement Secured in Fluor Corporation Derivative Action

Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. and its co-counsel successfully secured a derivative settlement with the Fluor Corporation (“Fluor’” or the “Company”) individual Defendants.  Under the deal, Fluor will adopt and maintain a set of management and board-level measures addressing project and risk management and oversight and performance-based compensation safeguards for at least four years.

The deal also requires the Company to allocate funding for the reforms, which are estimated to be approximately $10 million over the four years.  The reforms, taken together, will reduce the chances that Fluor and its stockholders will suffer a loss of investor confidence and legal exposure moving forward; enhance the value of the Company through improved project and risk management, oversight, and decision-making; and help boost investor confidence in the integrity of the Company’s management and the effectiveness of its governance and oversight regime.

Michael Yarnoff, a Partner at Kehoe Law Firm, emphasized the importance of the measures secured in the settlement, stating, “Fluor’s reforms will help protect the Company from future liability and will strengthen Fluor’s overall commitment to better corporate governance and oversight.”

$2.6M Partial Settlement for Lottery.com SPAC Investors

Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. (“KLF”) is pleased to announce a $2.6 million proposed partial settlement was reached with former executives of Trident Acquisition Corp. (“Trident”), the SPAC that merged with Lottery.com.

The agreement resolves class action claims that the 2021 go-public transaction misrepresented the company’s operations and value, leading to steep losses for public investors. The case, pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery, alleged that insiders secured massive profits while ordinary shareholders faced devastating losses.

“This settlement is a meaningful step toward accountability,” said Michael Yarnoff, Esq., a partner at KLF. “It provides immediate relief to affected investors and strengthens our ability to pursue remaining claims against other key parties involved in this transaction.”

The proposed resolution benefits all Trident common stockholders who held shares during the critical period leading up to the consummation of the merger.

The case remains active against other defendants, such as certain former executives of Lottery.com and Chardan Capital Markets LLC.

bluebird bio Class Action Lawsuit – BLUE

Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is informing investors that on March 17, 2025, Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. and co-counsel filed a class action lawsuit in United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Case No. 1:25-cv-02802) on behalf of shareholder Jacob A. Smith against bluebird bio, Inc. (“bluebird bio”) (NASDAQ:BLUE), its CEO, certain directors, Carlyle Group, Inc., and SK Capital Partners, L.P.

The bluebird bio class action lawsuit alleges that these entities entered into an agreement and plan of merger that inadequately valued bluebird bio shares, and that the bluebird bio defendants filed a materially incomplete Tender Offer Statement and Recommendation Statement.

The class action seeks to enjoin the bluebird bio defendants from closing the Tender Offer or taking any steps to consummate the transaction, unless and until additional material information is disclosed to bluebird bio’s shareholders.

The bluebird bio class action complaint further seeks that in the event the transaction is consummated, bluebird bio stockholders can recover monetary damages from the defendants for violations of the securities laws.

“We believe this merger is unfair to bluebird shareholders and look forward to opposing this proposed deal in court,” said Michael Yarnoff, Partner at Kehoe Law Firm.
