The lawsuit alleges violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The firm claims that Semler made false and misleading statements to the market, failing to disclose a Department of Justice investigation into alleged violations of the False Claims Act. Investors who purchased Semler's securities between March 10, 2021, and April 15, 2025, are encouraged to contact the firm before October 29, 2025, to participate in the lawsuit.
Why It's Important?

If the allegations are proven, it could result in substantial financial penalties for Semler Scientific and impact its stock value. The case underscores the importance of transparency and compliance with securities laws for publicly traded companies. Investors who suffered losses due to the alleged misstatements stand to gain compensation if the lawsuit is successful, while the company could face increased scrutiny and regulatory challenges.
