Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that a complaint has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased the common stock of Amaya Inc. (“Amaya” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:AYA) between June 8, 2015 and March 22, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”), alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers (the “Complaint”).
If you purchased shares of Amaya during the Class Period, and wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact Timothy J. MacFall, Esquire or Peter Allocco of Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 2 Righter Parkway, Suite 120, Wilmington, DE 19803 at (888) 969-4242; by e-mail to info@rl-legal.com; or at: http://rigrodskylong.com/investigations/amaya-inc-aya.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and omitted materially adverse facts, about the Company’s business, operations and prospects. As a result of defendants’ alleged false and misleading statements, the Company’s stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.
According to the Complaint, on March 23, 2016, news outlets reported that Amaya’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), David Baazov, was charged with insider trading by Quebec securities regulators. Bloomberg Business reported that the charges included “allegations of ‘aiding with trades while in possession of privileged information,’ influencing or attempting to influence the market price of securities of Amaya, and communicating privileged information . . . .”
On this news, shares of Amaya dropped over 21%, closing at $11.18 per share on March 23, 2016, on heavy trading volume.
