RADNOR, Pa., March 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP (www.ktmc.com) informs investors that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed against ICON Public Limited Company ("ICON") (NASDAQ: ICLR) on behalf of all purchasers of ICON ordinary shares between July 27, 2023 and October 23, 2024, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The lead plaintiff deadline is April 11, 2025.

DEFENDANTS' ALLEGED MISCONDUCT:The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) ICON was suffering from a material loss of business due to customer cost reduction measures and other widespread funding limitations impacting the company's client base; (2) ICON's purported hybrid model offerings were insufficient to shield the company from the adverse effects of a significant market downturn; (3) the requests for proposals ICON received from its biotechnology customers during the Class Period were used in substantial part as price discovery tools, and thus were not indicative of underlying client demand; (4) ICON's customers had canceled contracts, limited or reduced engagements, delayed clinical trial work, and/or failed to enter into new contracts with ICON for additional clinical trial work at historical rates once existing projects ended (or were scheduled to end) in 2024; (5) ICON's two largest customers were diversifying certain of their providers away from the company; (6) as a result of the foregoing, ICON's reported net new business awards and book-to-bill metrics materially misrepresented client demand for ICON's services; and (7) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS:ICON investors may, no later than April 11, 2025, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
