If you purchased shares of Insmed during the Class Period, or purchased shares prior to the Class Periodand still hold Insmed, and wish to discuss this action or haveany questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact Timothy J.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and omittedmaterially adverse facts, about the Company’s business, operations and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges thatthe defendants concealed from the investing public that: (1) the data on which Insmed’s European marketing authorizationapplication (“MAA”) for Arikayce, its lead product candidate, relied was not likely to support approval by the European MedicinesAgency (“EMA”) for the treatment of NTM lung disease; (2) Arikayce’s approval by the EMA for the treatment of NTM lung disease andsubsequent commercialization in Europe were thus less likely and/or imminent than Insmed had led investors to believe; and (3) as aresult of the foregoing, Insmed’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. As a resultof defendants’ alleged false and misleading statements, the Company’s stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the ClassPeriod.
According to the Complaint, on June 8, 2016, after the market closed, Insmed announced that it had withdrawn itsMAA from the EMA for Arikayce for the treatment of NTM lung disease. The Company stated that “During the May 2016 Committeefor Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) meeting, the CHMP indicated that the phase 2 study did not provide a sufficient amountof evidence to support an approval. Insmed intends to resubmit its MAA when clinical data from its ongoing global phase 3study are available.”
On this news, shares of Insmed dropped over 8%, closing at $11.02 per share on June 9, 2016, on heavy tradingvolume.
