About the Lawsuit

Diana and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. 

Throughout 2017, Diana engaged in a stock scheme of selling its shares to Kalani Investments Limited and related entities at a deeply discounted rate then filing registration statements enabling Kalani to resell the shares.  When the selloff caused a share price decline, the Company would artificially raise the price via a reverse stock split, merging the shares.

As a result of this scheme, the price of Diana’s common stock, which traded at more than $2,500 per share in early 2017, plummeted to $0.47 per share.
