According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of K12 Inc (NYSE: LRN) common shares between November 7, 2013 through October 27, 2015, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws.
More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between November 7, 2013 through October 27, 2015 defendants issued false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that K12 Inc was publishing misleading advertisements about students’ academic progress, parent satisfaction, their graduates’ eligibility for University of California and California State University admission, class sizes, the individualized and flexible nature of K12 Inc’s instruction, hidden costs, and the quality of the materials provided to students, that K12 Inc submitted inflated student attendance numbers to the California Department of Education in order to collect additional funding, that K12 Inc was open to potential civil and criminal liability due to these practices, that K12 Inc would likely be forced to end these practices, which would have a negative impact on K12 Inc’s operations and prospects, and/or that K12 Inc was, in fact, ending the practices, and that as a result, K12 Inc’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. K12 Inc reported that its Total Revenue increased from $848.22 million for the 12 months period that ended on June 30, 2013 to $948.29 million for the 12 months period that ended on June 30, 2015 while its Net Income for those respective time periods declined from $28.11 million to $10.99 million.
