A headline on the front page of the edition of Thursday, February 27th wrongly stated that ICON’s chief executive officer, Dr Stephen Cutler, and its former chief financial officer, Mr Brendan Brennan, had recently been “sued for insider trading” in a US class action.

In fact, there is no allegation of insider trading against them. We apologise unreservedly for this error.
