(“Amyris” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:AMRS), on behalf of investors who purchased shares between March 2, 2017 and April 17, 2017 inclusive (the “Class Period”)

The filed complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Amyris made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: that in the first quarter of 2017, the Company made a decision to take an equity stake in one of Blue California’s affiliates that focused on the sweetener market instead of cash payment under the license agreement; that due to this decision Amyris would be unable to recognize $10 million in fourth quarter and fiscal year 2016 revenue from the license agreement with Blue California; and that as a result of the above, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

When this news was announced, shares of Amyris fell in value, harming investors.
