Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC Announces Investigation of NQ Mobile Inc.

Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC is conducting an investigation to determine whether NQ Mobile Inc. ("NQ Mobile" or the "Company") and certain of its officers and directors made false and misleading statements and/or omissions in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

A class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas by another law firm on behalf of purchasers of the securities of NQ Mobile Inc. NQ between March 30, 2017 and February 6, 2018, inclusive (the "Class Period").

On March 30, 2017, the Company made an announcement about transactions:

NQ Mobile Inc. […] today announced that the Company had entered into definitive agreements (the "Agreements") with Tongfang Investment Fund Series SPC (the "Investor"), an affiliate of Tsinghua Tongfang. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, the Investor will acquire (i) 63% equity interests in FL Mobile Jiutian Technology Co., Ltd. ("FL Mobile"), being all of the equity interests beneficially owned by the Company, for a cash consideration of RMB2,520 million, valuing the entire FL Mobile business at RMB4 billion and (ii) 65% equity interests in Beijing Showself Technology Co., Ltd ("Beijing Showself"), a live social video business, being all of the equity interests beneficially owned by the Company, for a cash consideration of RMB800 million, valuing the entire Beijing Showself live social video business at RMB1,230 million (together, the "Transactions").

The complaint alleges that NQ Mobile Inc. and certain of its officers and directors ("Defendants"): (1) failed to disclose that the Transactions involved related party transactions between NQ Mobile and Tongfang; (2) defendant Vincent Wenyong Shi, NQ Mobile's Chairman and co-founder, did not fully disclose his interest in the Transactions; (3) because of the undisclosed relationships, NQ Mobile agreed to consideration in the form of a note with a high likelihood of default; and (4) as a result, Defendants' statements about NQ Mobile's business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On February 6, Seeking Alpha published a report titled "NQ Mobile: Undisclosed Transfer of Subsidiaries to Chairman Introduces Significant Risks - Price Target $0" asserting that the Company did not adequately disclose defendant Shi's involvement in the Transactions. NQ Mobile ADRs fell from $2.98 to $1.68 on February 6.

Cohen Milstein encourages all investors who purchased NQ Mobile ADRs between March 30, 2017 and February 6, 2018, or former employees with information concerning this matter to contact the firm.
