Investor Alert: Kaplan Fox Announces Investigation Of Aphria Inc.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) is investigating Aphria Inc. ("Aphria" or the "Company") (NYSE: APHA) concerning potential securities law violations.  Investors who purchased Aphria securities may be affected.

On December 3, 2018, Quintessential Capital Management and Hindenburg Research issued a report entitled "Aphria: A Shell Game With A Cannabis Business On The Side."  The report claims that "Aphria is part of a scheme orchestrated by a network of insiders to divert funds away from shareholders into their own pockets."  Further, the report alleges that "Aphria's recent C$280m Latin American acquisitions raise major red flags" and "appear to be largely worthless."

Following this news, on December 3, 2018 Aphria's common stock fell $1.85 per share, 23.4%, to close at $6.05 per share.  Aphria's shares continued to decline the next trading day by more than 25%, $1.54 per share, to close at $4.51 per share on December 4, 2018.
