Myovant is a biopharmaceutical company founded in 2016 that currently has two FDA-approved products, ORGOVYX®, which helps treat prostate cancer, and MYFEMBREE®, which is prescribed to manage complications associated with uterine fibroids. The company has other products that have been approved for use in the European Union, and it is also pursuing approval of additional products or indications in the U.S. and beyond. Since December 2019 , the company's largest shareholder has been Sumitovant or affiliated entities.

Julie & Holleman is investigating potential legal claims available to Myovant's shareholders regarding the proposed acquisition, including claims relating to potential conflicts resulting from the fact that Sumitovant controls the company and also has numerous commercial entanglements with the company. Numerous members of Myovant's board of directors were either designated by or affiliated with Sumitovant, which raises questions about the board's independence. Julie & Holleman is also concerned about the adequacy of the $27 per share acquisition price, as Myovant's stock has traded at temporary lows due to macroeconomic pressures, and Sumitovant is pouncing on short-term trends to acquire the company at a steep discount.
