(NYSE: RENN) ("Renren" or the "Company"), today announces that a hearing was held today before the New York State Supreme Court, Commercial Division (the "Court") in the consolidated shareholder derivative lawsuits captioned In re Renren, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Index No. 653594/2018 (Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cty.) (the "Action") to consider the motion of the Plaintiffs to approve the Stipulation of Settlement ("Stipulation") settling the action.
