(“Amaya” or “Company”) (NASDAQ:AYA) and certain of its directors (collectively, “Defendants”).  Amaya investors are encouraged to contact Scott+Scott at [phone] or email [e-mail] to discuss their legal rights.

About the Lawsuit

The action alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer during the Class Period (June 8, 2015 – March 22, 2016, inclusive), 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) 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.
