Harwood Feffer LLP Announces Investigation of Abeona Therapeutics Inc.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of Abeona Therapeutics Inc. ("Abeona" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ABEO), concerning whether the board has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders.

A class action was filed against Abeona in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, C.A. No. 1:16-cv-09730. The class action complaint alleges that Abeona and its representatives failed to disclose that: (a) Abeona's gene therapy treatment for Sanfilippo syndrome is not viable; and (b) that the Company's Executive Chairman and Principal Executive Officer, Steven H. Rouhandeh, previously worked for a stock promoter who was convicted of securities fraud and involved in manipulating biotech stocks.

Our investigation concerns whether the Company board of directors has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders, grossly mismanaged the Company, and/or committed abuses of control in connection with the foregoing.
