Investigation Relating To Amaya Inc. By Block & Leviton LLP

BOSTON, Nov. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Block & Leviton LLP (http://www.blockesq.com) announces that it is investigating potential securities fraud or manipulation claims involving David Baazov, the former CEO of Amaya Inc. ("Amaya" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AYA).

On November 14, 2016, Baazov—who owns approximately 17% of the Company's outstanding shares and has been accused of insider trading by Canadian securities regulators in a separate matter—filed documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating that he had made an offer to take the Company private. In those documents, Baazov claimed that he had secured equity commitment letters from, among others, KBC Aldini Capital Limited, a Dubai-based investment firm.

Earlier today (November 22, 2016), Toronto's Globe and Mail reported that KBC Aldini Capital "has 'no involvement' whatsoever in the proposed multibillion dollar privatization deal … and has filed a complaint with U.S. regulators, [according to] its top executive."

Amaya shares plummeted on the news, dropping by over 7%.

Block & Leviton LLP is investigating to determine whether investors may be able to bring claims to recover their losses under the federal securities laws.
