Labaton Sucharow LLP Files Securities Class Action Against Changyou.com Ltd. and Sohu.com Limited for Securities Violations Labaton Sucharow LLP announced that on December 8, 2020, it filed a securities class action lawsuit on behalf of its client ODS Capital LLC (“ODS Capital”) against Changyou.com Limited (“Changyou” or the “Company”) and certain of its executives, as well as its acquirer Sohu.com Limited (Nasdaq Ticker: SOHU) (collectively, “Defendants”). The action asserts claims under Sections 10(b), 13(e), and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rules 10b-5 and 13e-3 promulgated thereunder, on behalf of all former owners of Changyou stock and American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) who sold shares, and were damaged thereby, during the period between February 14, 2020 and April 23, 2020 inclusive (the “Class Period”). On February 14, 2020, Changyou, Sohu.com Limited, Sohu.com (Game) Limited, and Changyou Merger Co. Limited jointly filed a Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement under Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act (the “Transaction Statement”). The Transaction Statement contained false and misleading information regarding the existence of dissenters’ rights (also known as appraisal rights) pursuant to Cayman Islands law. No Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights: As the Merger is a short-form merger under section 233(7) of the Cayman Islands Companies Law, and the vote of holders of the Company’s Shares (including ADSs) is not required to complete the Merger, the Unaffiliated Security Holders will not be able to exercise dissenters’ rights such as are afforded to shareholders of Cayman Islands companies pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law with respect to mergers for which a shareholder vote is required. A copy of Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law is attached as Exhibit (f)(2) to this Transaction Statement for the information of the Unaffiliated Security Holders. The Transaction Statement is false and misleading because it provided no support for such conclusion and it is at odds with the text of the relevant Cayman Islands statute regarding appraisal rights. Moreover, the Transaction Statement failed to disclose other rights that may be available to Changyou shareholders under Cayman Islands law, in clear violation of the federal securities laws. On April 17, 2020, the Merger closed without the truth being revealed. Changyou ADS shares were exchanged for the cash consideration on April 23, 2020. Is New 90 Day High Low • Dec 02
