November 27, 2018 - An investor, who currently holds shares of Cambium Learning Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ABCD), filed a lawsuit against the takeover of Cambium Learning Group, Inc. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ: ABCD stockholders by agreeing to sell Cambium Learning Group, Inc. cheaply via an unfair process.

(Nasdaq: ABCD) announced that it has entered into a merger agreement with certain affiliates of Veritas Capital, a leading private equity investment firm, for the acquisition of the Company.
