announces that a hearing was held today before the New York State Supreme Court, Commercial
Division (the "Court") in the consolidated shareholder
derivative lawsuits captioned In re Renren, Inc. Derivative
Litigation, Index No. 653594/2018 (Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cty.) (the

high. The Court stated that it intends to issue a written
