Dreier LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. (FFHL)

NEW YORK, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Dreier LLP (www.dreierllp.com) announces that a class action lawsuit was commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of investors who purchased the common stock of Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. ("FFHL" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:FFHL) during the period from December 19, 2006 through October 16, 2007, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws, including Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933.

If you purchased FFHL common stock during the Class Period, you may be a member of the proposed Class. You must move the Court on or before December 18, 2007 if you wish to serve as a lead plaintiff. Lead plaintiffs must meet certain legal requirements. If you have acquired FFHL common stock and want to discuss your legal rights, you may contact Daniel B. Scotti (classlaw@dreierllp.com) of Dreier LLP at 800-952-8897. Class members may retain counsel of their choice and move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff, or may choose to do nothing and remain absent class members.

FFHL, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Shandong Fuwei Films Co., Ltd., develops, manufactures, and distributes plastic films using the biaxial oriented stretch technique, otherwise known as BOPET film (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate). The Company's films are used in consumer based packaging, such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, tobacco, and alcohol industries; imaging, such as masking film, printing plates, and microfilms; electronics and electrical industries, such as wire and cable wrap, capacitors and motor insulation; and in magnetic products, such as audio and video tapes.

On December 19, 2006, the Company commenced its initial public offering (the "IPO"), priced at $8.28 per share for 3,750,000 shares of Company stock. The company reported gross proceeds, including over-allotments, of approximately $35.6 million from the IPO.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants misled investors by issuing a false and misleading Registration Statement and Prospectus (collectively the "Registration Statement") in connection with the Company's IPO. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that: (a) the Registration Statement failed to reveal that the Company's main operating assets were obtained through transactions that were invalid under Chinese laws and regulations; (b) the Registration Statement failed to provide complete disclosures as to the circumstances relating to the Company's acquisition of its primary productive operating assets; and (c) the Registration Statement inaccurately stated that the likelihood of any recourse or action by the original asset holders or relevant authorities was "remote", when in truth the risk of such action was imminent as the transactions were not valid and/or aboveboard under Chinese laws and regulations.

On June 25, 2007, the Company announced that three of FFHL's major shareholders, including a Company director, were under investigation. On October 16, 2007, the Company announced that authorities in China had issued arrest notices for the same three individuals, on suspicion of violations of Chinese laws and regulations. The Complaint asserts that these charges related to FFHL's acquisition of its main operating assets. In reaction to this news, the price of FFHL common stock dropped precipitously, thereby damaging investors.
