Further, the Complaint alleges that on January 17, 2015, Sina.com published an article reporting that the certain Chinese governmental authorities issued a notice requiring provincial agencies to conduct self-inspection with regards to unauthorized online lottery sales. On this news, shares of the Company fell $0.60 per share from its previous closing price to close at $17.52 per share on January 20, 2015, further damaging investors. Moreover, the Complaint alleges that on February 25, 2015 the Company announced that certain provincial sports lottery administration centers to which the Company provides sport lottery sales services plan to temporarily suspend accepting online purchase orders for lottery products, in response to a notice issued by governmental authorities. On this news, shares of the Company fell $2.87 per share or over 22% to close at $9.96 per share on February 25, 2015.
