Risk factors and legal proceedings
Legal proceedings
On March 8, 2019, Jie Yuan (the “Jie Action”) filed a putative shareholder derivative lawsuit purportedly on behalf of Nova Lifestyle, Inc. (Nasdaq; NVFY, the “Nova LifeStyle”) in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, against Nova LifeStyle’s former and current CEOs and CFOs (Thanh H. Lam, Ya Ming Wong, Jeffery Chuang and Yuen Ching Ho) and directors (Charlie Huy La, Bin Liu, Umesh Patel, and Min Su) and vice president (Steven Qiang Liu) (collectively, the “Defendants”) seeking to recover any losses Nova LifeStyle sustains as a result of alleged securities violations outlined in a Seeking Alpha blog and a certain securities class action case filed by George Barney and others (the “Barney Action”) in the same court on December 28, 2018.
Specifically, the derivative lawsuit alleges that the Defendants caused Nova LifeStyle to make the alleged false and/or misleading statements giving rise to the putative securities class action. The Plaintiff also alleges that President and CEO Lam engaged in self-dealing transactions by leasing her property to Diamond Bar, a Nova LifeStyle subsidiary, and asserts that Lam, former CEO and director Ya Ming Wong, former CFO and director Yuen Ching Ho, and director Umesh Patel sold securities during the period of time when the alleged false and/or misleading statements were made “with knowledge of material non-public information.”
