NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 24, 2016 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, reminds investors of class action against Amaya, Inc. ("Amaya" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: AYA). The class action has been filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased Amaya securities during the period between June 8, 2015 and March 22, 2016 inclusive (the "Class Period").
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 "Exchange Act").
Amaya Inc. is a Canadian gaming and online gambling company headquartered in suburban Montreal, Quebec. The Company operates through two segments, Real-Money Online Poker, and Real-Money Online Casino and Sportsbook.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) that the Amaya's Chief Executive Officer was engaged in an insider trading plot that falsely inflated the market price of the Company's securities and gave privileged information to third parties; (2) Amaya lacked adequate internal controls; and (3) that, as a result of the above-mentioned, Defendants' statements about Amaya's business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On March 23, 2016, Reuters announced that Amaya's Chief Executive Officer, David Baazov, has been charged with insider trading by Quebec's securities regulator. The regulator said it had filed charges against Baazov for "aiding with trades while in possession of privileged information, influencing or attempting to influence the market price of the securities of Amaya" and "communicating privileged information." Following this news, Amaya's stock fell $3.07 per share, or over 21%, to close at $11.18 per share on March 23, 2016, on unusually heavy trading volume.
