There has been no class certification in this case yet. Until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. You may choose to take no action and remain a passive class member as well.

According to the Complaint, throughout the Class Period, Akari made materially false and/or misleading statements, and/or failed to disclose that: Chief Executive Officer Dr. Gur Roshwalb and possibly other executives, were involved in publishing false information about the Company, including false information about the Phase 2 PNH trial of Coversin; that Akari lacked adequate checks and protections to prevent such behavior; and that as a result of the above, the Company’s statements about its business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. On May 11, 2017, Akari announced that Dr. Roshwalb has been placed on administrative leave while the Board of Directors reviews whether Dr. Roshwalb and other executives were involved in a materially inaccurate research report that was released and subsequently withdrawn in April 26, 2017 by Edison Investment Research Ltd. When this information was released, Akari shares fell in value materially, which harmed investors according to the Complaint.
