STEVENSON, Md., Jan. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A
Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey on behalf of purchasers of New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc. (NYSE:EDU) (“New Oriental” or the
“Company”) American Depositary Shares (ADSs) during the period between September 27, 2016 through December 1, 2016, inclusive (the
“Class Period”). Investors who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until February 13, 2017 to seek
appointment as lead plaintiff.
If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and
be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including
whether to accept a settlement for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants
claiming the largest loss from investment in New Oriental ADSs during the Class Period. Members of the Class will be
represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. No class has yet been certified in the above
action.
The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the
defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that New Oriental engaged in college application fraud.
According to the complaint, following a December 2, 2016 report by Reuters that eight former and current New
Oriental employees had informed Reuters that New Oriental engaged in college application fraud, the value of New Oriental ADSs
declined significantly.
If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in New Oriental ADSs purchased on or after
September 27, 2016 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would
