NEW YORK, July 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Sinovac Biotech Ltd. ("Sinovac" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SVA) and certain of its officers, on behalf of shareholders who purchased Sinovac securities from April 30, 2013 through May 16, 2017, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site: http://www.bgandg.com/sva.

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Defendant Weidong Yin, Sinovac's Chairman and CEO, bribed a member of the Chinese Food and Drug Administration to assist Sinovac's vaccine clinical trial and approval; (2) such conduct would subject Sinovac to heightened regulatory scrutiny; and (3) consequently, Sinovac's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
