Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the October 23, 2017 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors that purchased Top Ships Inc. (“Top Ships” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TOPS) securities between January 17, 2017 and August 22, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Top Ships investors have until October 23, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion. To obtain information or participate in the class action, please visit the Top Ships case page on our website at www.glancylaw.com/case/top-ships-inc.

The Complaint filed in this class action alleges that CEO Evangelos J. Pistiolis caused Top Ships to engage in a series of manipulative share issuance/sales transactions with Kalani Investments Limited (“Kalani”) through which Top Ships would sell its common shares and securities convertible into common shares to Kalani at a significant discount to market price and file registration statements so that Kalani could resell these shares into the market. When Kalani’s sales of Top Ships stock caused the price of Top Ships stock to decline, Top Ships would reverse split the stock, causing a certain number of outstanding shares to be merged into a single share, and thereby raise the price of Top Ships stock. Then, Top Ships would again sell securities to Kalani and the same pattern of transactions would ensue.

By August 2017, Top Ships, through Kalani, had issued and sold into the market tens of millions of shares of its common stock, heavily diluting the Company’s shares. While Top Ships has allegedly used the proceeds from these offerings to further enrich Pistiolis and his affiliates through various related-party transactions, the value of Top Ships common stock has dropped over 99%.
