NEW YORK, July 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Weibo Corporation ("Weibo" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:WB) and certain of its officers, on behalf of shareholders who purchased Weibo securities between April 27, 2017 and June 22, 2017, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm’s site: http://www.bgandg.com/wb.
This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (1) Weibo lacks a requisite internet audio/video program transmission license; (2) Weibo was posting certain commentary programs with content in violation of Chinese government regulations on its site; and (3) consequently, Weibo’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On June 22, 2017, Weibo revealed that it received notice from The State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of the People’s Republic of China (the “SAPPRFT”), requesting that local authorities “take measures to suspend several companies’ video and audio services due to their lacking of an internet audio/video program transmission license and posting of certain commentary programs with content in violation of government regulations on their sites.” Following this news, Weibo stock dropped $4.71 per share or over 6% from its previous closing price to close at $72.25 per share on June 22, 2017, damaging investors.
