New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 20, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of PepGen Inc. (NASDAQ: PEPG) between March 7, 2024 and March 3, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important August 8, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased PepGen securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the PepGen class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 8, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) PGN-EDO51 was less effective and safe than defendants had led investors to believe; (2) the CONNECT2 study was dangerous or otherwise deficient for purposes of U.S. Food and Drug Administration ('FDA') approval; (3) as a result of all the foregoing, PepGen was likely to halt the CONNECT2 study, and PGN-ED051's clinical, regulatory, and commercial prospects were overstated; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the PepGen class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ------------------------------- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq.

[You may also click here for additional information] New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 18, 2025) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against PepGen Inc. ('PepGen' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: PEPG) and reminds investors of the August 11, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. [ This image cannot be displayed. Please visit the source: ] Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (i) PGN-EDO51 was less effective and safe than Defendants had led investors to believe; (ii) the CONNECT2 study was dangerous or otherwise deficient for purposes of U.S. Food and Drug Administration ('FDA') approval; (iii) as a result of all the foregoing, PepGen was likely to halt the CONNECT2 study, and PGN-EDO51's clinical, regulatory, and commercial prospects were overstated; and (iv) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On July 30, 2024, PepGen issued a press release announcing purported 'positive clinical data from the first dose cohort (5 mg/kg) of PGN-EDO51" in its ongoing CONNECT1 study. Among other results, the Company reported that 'PGN-EDO51 achieved a mean absolute dystrophin level of 0.61% of normal and a 0.26% change from baseline after 4 doses, measured at week 13 by Western blot analysis.' However, as subsequently noted by a Stifel analyst, 'the magnitude of dystrophin increase was below what [PepGen] anticipated, which is disappointing[.]' Likewise, a Leerink Partners analyst noted that the low dose missed PepGen's expectations of 1% or greater dystrophin expression. On this news, PepGen's stock price fell $5.55 per share, or 32.69%, to close at $11.43 per share on July 31, 2024. On December 16, 2024, PepGen issued a press release announcing that it had received a clinical hold notice from the FDA regarding an Investigational New Drug ('IND') application 'to initiate the [CONNECT2] clinical trial in patients with [DMD]' in the U.S. Notably, the FDA's issuance of a clinical hold notice for the IND application indicated that the FDA had concerns regarding risks posed to patients in the CONNECT2 study and/or there were other deficiencies associated with the study. On this news, PepGen's stock price fell $0.17 per share, or 3.63%, to close at $4.51 per share on December 16, 2024. On January 29, 2025, PepGen issued a press release providing updates regarding safety concerns observed in the CONNECT1 study and the FDA's concerns regarding the CONNECT2 study. With respect to the CONNECT1 study, the press release stated, inter alia, that "[d]osing of one of the[] . . . participants [in the 10 mg/kg cohort] was paused due to a reduction of his estimated glomerular filtration rate[.]' In addition, PepGen 'ha[d] received communication from Health Canada . . . request[ing] additional information from the Company to address Health Canada's safety concerns before any further dose escalation or enrollment of any additional participants at the current dose levels.' With respect to the CONNECT2 study, the same press release stated, in relevant part, that "[t]he Company is working with the FDA to address its questions regarding supportive data for the dosing levels planned for the patient population.' Following these disclosures, PepGen's stock price fell $0.40 per share, or 21.74%, to close at $1.44 per share on January 30, 2025. On March 4, 2025, PepGen issued a press release 'announc[ing] its voluntary decision to temporarily pause the [CONNECT2] study . . . until the Company can review results from the 10 mg/kg cohort in the ongoing [CONNECT1] study.' On this news, PepGen's stock price fell $0.53 per share, or 18.86%, to close at $2.28 per share on March 4, 2025. Then, on May 28, 2025, PepGen issued a press release announcing that 'PGN-EDO51 did not achieve target dystrophin levels' in the CONNECT1 study and had chosen to discontinue development of its DMD programs. The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not. Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding PepGen's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
