NEW YORK, April 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP
is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Weibo Corporation
("Weibo" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: WB). Such investors are
advised to contact Robert S.
Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext.
237.
The investigation concerns whether Weibo and certain of its
officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Weibo, which is often referred to as China's Twitter, is operated by SINA
Corporation (SINA), which owns 56% of Weibo's shares. On
April 10, 2015, a report published by
Reuters stated that executives from SINA were summoned to a
meeting with the Cyberspace Administration of China ("CAC") and criticized for spreading
"illegal information" and "violating social morality," according to
a statement from CAC. The CAC also stated that it would "punish
SINA to strengthen supervision and management of news web
sites."
On this news, shares of Weibo fell $0.58 per share, to $14.30, or more than 3.90%, in intra-day trading
on April 13, 2015.
