DEADLINE ALERT: The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Reminds Investors of the Upcoming Investor Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against China Finance Online Co. Ltd.Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors of China Finance Online, Co. ("China Finance" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: JRJC) who purchased shares of China Finance between May 6, 2014 through June 3, 2015, inclusive (the "Class Period"), and have been damaged by the recent declines in the Company's stock price. China Finance investors must file a motion by August 4, 2015 for consideration as a class representative in this purported class action. The lawsuit concerns the Company's and its executives' alleged violations of securities laws, based on recent reports alleging that: (1) the most current Chinese government records show that Chairman and CEO Zhiwei Zhao suddenly resigned from his positions at three key Chinese VIE subsidiaries of China Finance over the past few months; (2) Chinese media reports exposing the detention of the Company's independent director Rongquan Leng prompted China Finance to announce his resignation, without addressing his alleged detention; and (3) Ling Wang, a former long-time China Finance director and associate of Zhao, fled China in 2014, leaving his company indebted to China Finance for $25 million. The complaint alleges that when the truth was finally revealed regarding the above Company matters, shares of China Finance fell $1.28 per share, to close on June 3, 2015 at $5.67, a one-day decline of 22% on volume of over 3 million shares thereby damaging investors. If you purchased shares of China Finance during the Class Period, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement, you are encouraged to contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, 3070 Bristol Pike, Suite 112, Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020 by telephone at (215) 638-4847, toll-free at (888) 638-4847, or by email to [email protected], or visit our website at http://www.howardsmithlaw.com.
