NEW YORK and LONDON, April 27, 2017
Akari Therapeutics (NASDAQ: AKTX), an emerging growth, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, released today a statement that Edison Investment Research Ltd. has withdrawn its report issued yesterday titled “Akari’s Coversin matches Soliris in Phase II” (the “Edison Report”) because it contains material inaccuracies, including without limitation, with respect to Akari’s recently announced interim analysis of its ongoing Phase 2 PNH trial of Coversin. Investors should not rely upon any information contained in the Edison Report and instead should refer to Akari’s press release issued on April 24, 2017 that discusses the interim analysis of its ongoing Phase 2 PNH trial and other matters.
