AKARI INVESTOR ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses Exceeding $50,000 Investing In Akari Therapeutics, Plc To Contact The Firm

NEW YORK, May 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Akari Therapeutics, Plc ("Akari" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AKTX).

The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws.  Specifically, on May 11, 2017, Akari filed a Form 6-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission announcing that Akari has established an ad hoc special committee to review the involvement of Company personnel regarding a report issued on April 26, 2017 by Edison Investment Research Inc., an investment research and advisory company. Furthermore, the Form 6-K disclosed that Dr. Gur Roshwalb, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, has been placed on administrative leave while the review is pending.

As a result, the price of Akari's American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") declined significantly, causing harm to investors.
