Glancy Prongay & Murray Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Pingtan Marine Enterprise Ltd.


Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM") reminds investors of the August 22, 2017 deadline in the class action lawsuit filed on behalf of investors who purchased Pingtan Marine Enterprise Ltd. ("Pingtan" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PME) securities between August 8, 2016 through May 10, 2017, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Pingtan investors have until August 22, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion. To obtain information or participate in the class action, please visit the Pingtan case page on our website at http://www.glancylaw.com/case/pigtan-marine-enterprise-ltd



On May 10, 2017, Aurelius Value published a report disclosing that Pingtan is specifically banned from Indonesia for unlawful business practices and further reported that Pingtan used investor capital to finance widespread illegal activity.

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.


According to the Complaint filed in this class action, throughout the Class Period, Pingtan 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.
