NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE.

According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Pingtan is banned from Indonesia; (2) Pingtan has used investor capital to finance illegal activity; and (3) as a result, Pingtan’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On May 10, 2017, Aurelius Value published a report on Pingtan asserting, among other things, that Pingtan is specifically banned from Indonesia and Pingtan financed widespread illegal activity with investor capital. On this news, shares of Pingtan fell $1.16 per share or over 28% to close at $2.95 per share on May 10, 2017, damaging investors.
