Monteverde & Associates PC Files Class Action Lawsuit On Behalf Of Shareholders Spark Networks, Inc. In The Central District of California

NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Notice is hereby given that Monteverde & Associates PC has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for The Central District of California, case no. 2:17-cv-07603, on behalf of stockholders of Spark Networks, Inc. ("Spark" or the "Company") (NYSE: LOV) who held Spark securities and have been harmed by Spark and its board of directors' (the "Board") for alleged violations of Sections 14(a), and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") in connection with the merger of the Company to Affinitas GmbH.

Under the terms of the agreement Spark stockholders will be entitled to receive, for each share of Spark common stock, a number of depositary shares ("New Spark ADSs") equal to the Adjustment Ratio 1, with each New Spark ADS representing 0.1 ordinary shares of new Spark.  Consequently, current Spark stockholders will collectively own approximately 25% of New Spark, while Affinitas stockholders will collectively own approximately 75% of New Spark. The complaint alleges that this offer is inadequate and alleges that the Registration Statement in Form S-4 (the "Proxy") provides materially incomplete and misleading information about the Company's financials and the transaction, in violation of Sections 14(a), and 20(a) of the Exchange Act.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from today.  Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.  If you wish to discuss this action, or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact:
