NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi,
LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in
Agria Corporation ("Agria" or the "Company") (NYSE:GRO) of the
January 9, 2017 deadline to seek the
role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit
filed against the Company and certain officers.
The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the
District of New Jersey on behalf
of all those who purchased Agria American Depository Shares
("ADSs") between December 16, 2011
and November 4, 2016 (the "Class
Period"). The case, BALON v. AGRIA CORPORATION et al.,
No. 16-cv-08376 was filed on November 9,
2016, and has been assigned to Judge Leda D. Wettre.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives
violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that the
Company and its executives had been engaging in trading to
artificially inflate the Company's ADS price.
Specifically, on November 4, 2016,
Agria issued a press release announcing that it received a letter
from New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on November 3, 2016, informing the Company that the
NYSE decided to commence proceedings to delist Agria ADSs from the
NYSE. The NYSE claimed that certain Company executives had
been trading Agria ADSs in an effort to inflate the stock price.
Further, the Company disclosed that, on December 23, 2015, it received a subpoena from
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") relating to a
nonpublic investigation into Agria's historic and ongoing business
operations in China.
After these announcements, Agria ADSs was suspended on
November 3, 2016 at a closing price
of $0.85 per ADS.
