About the Lawsuit
Pearson and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class
Period, violating federal securities laws.
On January 18, 2017, Pearson issued announced that it no longer expected to achieve its operative profit
guidance for 2018 as a result of “[t]he North American higher education courseware market being much weaker than expected” and that
Pearson would “rebase” its dividend “from 2017 onwards.”
On this news, the price of Pearson’s ADRs plummeted.
