GDS Investors Have Opportunity to Lead GDS Holdings Limited Securities Fraud Lawsuit
LOS ANGELES, July 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM") announces that investors with substantial losses have opportunity to lead the securities fraud class action lawsuit against GDS Holdings Limited ("GDS" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: GDS).
Class Period: April 12, 2021 – April 3, 2023
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: August 21, 2023
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the GDS lawsuit, you can submit your contact information at www.glancylaw.com/cases/GDS-Holdings-Limited-1/. You can also contact Charles H. Linehan, of GPM at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, or via email at shareholders@glancylaw.com to learn more about your rights.
On April 4, 2023, GDS disclosed that its Chief Executive Officer, William Wei Huang, had entered into pre-paid forward sale contract transactions that may trigger "actual, potential or alleged breaches or early termination of other contracts or agreements" and could potentially "have implications for the purposes of China's national security review regime and anti-monopoly merger filing requirements." GDS also warned that "[the] occurrence of any of the foregoing may have a material and adverse effect on [its] business development, financial condition and future prospects."
On this news, GDS's stock price fell $0.74, or 4%, to close at $17.80 per ADS on April 4, 2023, thereby injuring investors.
The complaint filed alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Defendant Huang had engaged in undisclosed pre-paid forward sale contract transactions as early as May 2020; (2) this presented a risk of Defendant Huang's ownership going below 5% of the Company's outstanding shares; (3) if Huang's ownership dipped below 5%, it would result in a change of control of the Company which, as the Company admitted, could result in disastrous consequences; and (4) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
