“We are committed to protecting our shareholders from abusive, naked short selling,” added Munn. “If our Company’s stock has been subjected to illegal trading activity, we are determined to get to the bottom of it. We are eager to bring this matter to a swift and decisive conclusion.”

Herrick Feinstein’s efforts are being led by Mr. Howard Elisofon, a nationally renowned litigator. Mr. Elisofon is a former SEC Trial Attorney and the current Co-Chair of Herrick’s Securities Law & Enforcement Practice.
