STEVENSON, Md., Aug. 29, 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 Eastern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of Top Ships Inc. (NASDAQ:TOPS) (“Top Ships” or the “Company”) securities during the period between January 17, 2017 and August 22, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until October 23, 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 Top Ships 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 Company’s CEO caused Top Ships to engage in a series of manipulative share issuance/sales transactions with Kalani Investments Limited and certain of its related entities.
According to the complaint, by August 17, 2017, as a result of defendants’ ongoing dilutive and manipulative conduct, the value of Top Ships shares declined significantly.
If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Top Ships securities purchased on or after January 17, 2017 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentsecuritiescases.html.

If you choose to retain counsel, you may retain Brower Piven without financial obligation or cost to you, or you may retain other counsel of your choice.
