Background on the Amaya Securities Class Litigation
Amaya, headquartered in Quebec, Canada, is a provider of
technology-based products and services in the global gaming and
interactive entertainment industries.
The action alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading
statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) that the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer (“CEO”) during the Class Period, David Baazov,
was engaged in an insider trading scheme that involved influencing
the market price of the Company’s securities and communicating
privileged information to third parties; (2) the Company lacked
adequate internal controls; and, (3) that, as a result of the
foregoing, defendants’ statements about Amaya’s business,
operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked
a reasonable basis.
On March 23, 2016, news outlets reported that Baazov was charged
with insider trading by Quebec securities regulators. Bloomberg
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, Amaya’s
stock fell $3.07 per share, or 21.54% from a closing price of
$14.25 on March 22, 2016, to close at $11.18 per share on March 23,
2016, on extraordinarily heavy trading volume.
