China Mobile Games, a Cayman Islands corporation headquartered in Guangzhou, China, is the largest publisher and developer of mobile games in China.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, prospects and performance.  Specifically, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:  (i) CMGE was engaged in a bribery scheme within the Company's game publishing business; (ii) CMGE was engaged in undisclosed related party transactions; (iii) CMGE lacked adequate internal controls; and (iii) as a result of the above, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On June 19, 2014, the price of CMGE shares fell $4.27 per share to $14.63, before being halted by the NASDAQ on news reports that CMGE had removed nine executives, including defendant Ying Shuling, CMGE's President, for alleged involvement in bribery.

Chinese internet news media reported that the misconduct also involved undisclosed related party transactions involving CMGE. These reports also indicated that in addition to Shuling, Vice President Sun Jingzhi, Vice President Du Xinxing, and General Managers Min Shuzhong and Wang Kun and Distribution Center Director Du Juan, Overseas Distribution Group Vice General Manager Luo Xiao, were among those terminated.
