According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities issued by The Student Loan Corporation (NYSE: STU) between January 15, 2008 and September 23, 2010, that The Student Loan Corporation and certain of its executive officers, and certain entities affiliated with Citigroup Inc violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Specifically the plaintiff alleges that between January 15, 2008 and September 23, 2010, The Student Loan Corporation and certain controlling individuals and entities of The Student Loan Corporation allegedly made fraudulent material misrepresentations and omissions regarding The Student Loan Corporation’s business and operations.
On September 23, 2010, The Student Loan Corporation released a statement describing the transactions pursuant to which The Student Loan Corporation would be acquired by Discover.
The plaintiff alleges that in connection with this release, The Student Loan Corporation admitted that it had to take an impairment charge of almost $1 billion because certain loan assets had been carried on The Student Loan Corporation’s books at inflated values.
The Student Loan Corporation (NYSE: STU) shares traded in February 2010 as high as over $44 per share, but fell in March to under $40 per share and reached in April slightly above $37 per share. In May STU stocks fell under $30 per share and traded in mid-September 2010 at roughly $21 per share.
