Summary of the Action
The PTHL Action charges certain of the Company's officers and directors, its auditor (Marcum Asia CPAs LLP), and the underwriters of its initial public offering (Cathay Securities, Inc. and Dominari Securities LLC) with, among other things, violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The PTHL Action alleges, among other things, that the defendants orchestrated a "pump-and-dump" scheme to defraud investors in PTHL, in which promoters impersonating legitimate financial advisors touted the Company's shares with baseless claims, including fabricated rumors of an acquisition by Gilead Sciences, Inc. The scheme collapsed on July 29, 2025, when PTHL's share price fell approximately 95% in a single trading session.
