GPM Reminds Investors of the February 13 Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against New Oriental Education & Technology
Group Inc.
Investors are encouraged to contact Lesley Portnoy, Esquire to discuss their legal rights
Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the February 13, 2017 deadline to file a
lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of a class (the “Class”) of investors who purchased New Oriental
Education & Technology Group Inc. (“New Oriental” or the “Company”) (NYSE: EDU) securities between September 27, 2016 and December 1, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”). New
Oriental investors have until February 13, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
On December 2, 2016, Reuters issued an article alleging that New Oriental has been accused of conducting college
application fraud. According to the article, several former and current New Oriental employees “told Reuters the firms have engaged
in college application fraud, including writing application essays and teacher recommendations, and falsifying high school
transcripts.” The American International Recruitment Council (“AIRC”) issued a statement later that day announcing that it would
conduct its own investigation in regards to the allegations put forth in the Reuters article. AIRC's president-elect called the
report “highly concerning.”
On this news, shares of New Oriental fell over 14% per share on December 2, 2016.
According to the complaint filed in this class action, during the Class Period, New Oriental made false and misleading
statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) New Oriental engaged in college application fraud; and (2) as a result, Defendants’
statements about New Oriental’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable
basis at all relevant times.
If you purchased New Oriental shares, you may move the Court no later than February 13, 2017 to request
appointment as lead plaintiff. To be a member of the class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of
your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class. If you wish to learn more about this action, or
if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact
