SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Notifies Investors of Class Action Lawsuit And Encourages Those Who Have Losses In Excess Of $100,000 From Investment In PixarBio Corporation (PXRB) To Contact Brower Piven Before The Lead Plaintiff Deadline

STEVENSON, Md., Jan. 26, 2017 -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of purchasers of PixarBio Corporation (Other OTC:PXRB) (“PixarBio” or the “Company”) securities pursuant to the Company’s private placement that closed on October 30, 2016 (the “Private Placement”) and/or publicly traded on the open market between October 31, 2016 and January 20, 2017 (the “Class Period”).  Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until March 27, 2017 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court.  The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the Class in the action.  The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in PixarBio securities during the Class Period.  Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff.  No class has yet been certified in the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that the market for PixarBio’s securities exhibited manipulative or deceptive activities, and PixarBio’s assertions in regarding PixarBio’s business combinations and current shareholders, the identity and qualifications of key shareholders and employees, and PixarBio’s’ current and prospective development efforts lacked accuracy.

According to the complaint, following a January 23, 2017 Securities and Exchange Commission announcement suspending trading in the securities of PixarBio because of manipulative and deceptive activities, the value of PixarBio shares declined significantly.
