SHAREHOLDER UPDATE: Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP Continues Investigating Yangtze River Port and Logistics Limited’s Directors and Officers for Breach of Fiduciary Duties – YRIV

Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP (“Scott+Scott”), an international securities and consumer rights litigation firm, continues its investigation of certain directors and officers of Yangtze River Port and Logistics Limited (“Yangtze” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: YRIV) for breaching their fiduciary duties to Yangtze and its shareholders. If you are a Yangtze shareholder, you may contact attorney Joe Pettigrew for additional information: 844-818-6982 or [email protected].

Scott+Scott is investigating whether members of Yangtze’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) made false and/or misleading statements, or failed to disclose material adverse facts, about Yangtze’s business. Specifically, Scott+Scott is investigating whether the Board failed to disclose material information, including whether: (1) Yangtze’s lease of Wuhan Newport, Yangtze’s main asset and only operating subsidiary, was fabricated; (2) Wuhan Newport was declared insolvent in China due to numerous default judgments against it; and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about Yangtze’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On August 27, 2018, Barron’s published, “A Troubled Chinese Company Is Seeking a Lifeline From U.S. Investors,” revealing that Wuhan Newport was “showing up on official websites in which Chinese courts list debtors with unpaid legal judgments.” On this news, Yangtze stock fell $0.11/share – almost 1% – to close at $11.53/share on August 27, 2018.

On December 6, 2018, Hindenburg Research published a report, entitled “Yangtze River Port & Logistics: Total Zero. On-the-Ground Research Shows Assets Appear to be Largely Fabricated,” which caused Yangtze stock to fall $3.34/share – over 28% – over the next two trading days to close at $8.28/share on December 7, 2018.
