NEW YORK, April 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Klein Law Firm reminds investors of a class action
complaint has been filed on behalf of shareholders of Pearson plc (NYSE:PSO) who purchased shares between January 21, 2016 and
January 17, 2017. The action, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges
that the Company violated federal securities laws.
In particular, the complaint alleges that during the Class Period, the Company made materially false and/or
misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operational and compliance policies. In particular, the complaint alleges
the Company made overly optimistic projections for 2017 and 2018 regarding its U.S. education business when, in reality, students
were not likely to purchase the Company’s products when more affordable alternatives were available.
Shareholders have until April 25, 2017 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your
ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as lead plaintiff. You may choose to be an absent class
member.
