IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2017 / Khang & Khang LLP (the "Firm") announces a securities class action lawsuit against Akari Therapeutics, Plc ("Akari" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AKTX). Investors, who purchased or otherwise acquired Akari shares from March 30, 2017 through May 11, 2017, inclusive (the "Class Period"), are encouraged to contact the Firm in advance of the July 11, 2017 lead plaintiff motion deadline.

There has been no class certification in this case yet. Until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. You may choose to take no action and remain a passive class member as well.

According to the Complaint, throughout the Class Period, Akari made materially false and/or misleading statements, and/or failed to disclose that: its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Gur Roshwalb, and possibly other executives, were involved in publishing false information about the Company, including false information about the Phase 2 PNH trial of Coversin; that Akari lacked sufficient checks and protections to prevent such behavior; and that, as a result of the above, the Company's statements about its business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. On May 11, 2017, Akari announced that Dr. Roshwalb has been placed on administrative leave while the Board of Directors reviews whether Dr. Roshwalb and other executives were involved in a materially inaccurate research report that was released and subsequently withdrawn in April 26, 2017 by Edison Investment Research Ltd. When this information was released, Akari's stock price fell materially, which harmed investors according to the Complaint.

If you wish to learn more about this lawsuit, or if you have any questions about this notice or your rights, please contact Joon M. Khang, a prominent litigator for almost two decades, by telephone: [phone], or via e-mail at [e-mail].
