Scott+Scott, Attorneys at Law, LLP Alerts Investors to the Filing of a Securities Class Action Against
DryShips, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRYS)
Scott+Scott, Attorneys at Law, LLP (“Scott+Scott”), a national securities and consumer rights litigation firm,
is notifying investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against DryShips, Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) (“DryShips” or the
“Company”) and other defendants, related to alleged violations of federal securities laws. If you are a DryShips shareholder, you
are encouraged to contact Scott+Scott for additional information. Investors have until September 12, 2017, to move for lead
plaintiff.
DryShips is holding company that owns drybulk carriers and offshore support vessels.
The lawsuit concerns a series of transactions beginning on or around June 8, 2016, wherein DryShips raised hundreds of millions
of dollars in capital by selling newly-issued shares directly to Kalani Investments Ltd., a British Virgin Islands firm.
On July 13, 2017, an article published in The Wall Street Journal described how DryShips “sold vast sums of discounted shares to
an offshore firm and propped up prices with ‘reverse splits,’ sending investors on a wild ride that, for many, ended with steep
losses.”
DryShips is currently trading at around $0.90 per share.

If you are a DryShips shareholder who purchased shares in the Company between June 8, 2016 and July 12, 2017, inclusive, or if
