Scott+Scott, Attorneys at Law, LLP Reminds Investors of September 12th Lead Plaintiff Deadline in Securities Class Action Against DryShips, Inc. (DRYS)

NEW YORK, Aug. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott+Scott, Attorneys at Law, LLP ("Scott+Scott"), a national securities and consumer rights litigation firm, reminds investors that September 12, 2017 is the deadline for filing lead plaintiff motions in the class action lawsuit that has been filed against DryShips, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRYS) ("DryShips" or the "Company") and other defendants, related to alleged violations of federal securities laws.  If you are a DryShips shareholder, you are encouraged to contact a Scott+Scott attorney at (844) 818-6982 for additional information.

DryShips is holding company that owns drybulk carriers and offshore support vessels.

The lawsuit concerns a series of transactions beginning on or around June 8, 2016, wherein DryShips raised hundreds of millions of dollars in capital by selling newly-issued shares directly to Kalani Investments Ltd., a British Virgin Islands firm.

On July 13, 2017, an article published in The Wall Street Journal described how DryShips "sold vast sums of discounted shares to an offshore firm and propped up prices with 'reverse splits,' sending investors on a wild ride that, for many, ended with steep losses." 

DryShips is currently trading at around $3.05 per share.

What You Can Do

If you are a DryShips shareholder who purchased shares in the Company between June 8, 2016 and July 12, 2017, inclusive, or if you have questions about this notice or your legal rights, please contact attorney Joe Pettigrew at (844) 818-6982, or at jpettigrew@scott-scott.com.  The lead plaintiff deadline is September 12, 2017.
