Plaintiffs allege that from December 13, 2019 through November 14, 2022, Twist and its senior management misrepresented that the company possessed innovative proprietary technology to produce synthetic DNA at a higher quality and lower cost than competitors, positioning Twist for significant future growth.

An amended complaint was filed on October 11, 2023. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on December 6, 2023 and Plaintiffs filed their opposition on January 26, 2024. The motion is presently pending.
