National law firm

Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of persons and/or entities that acquired Chegg Inc. (“Chegg” or the
“Company”) (NYSE:
CHGG) securities between July 30, 2018 and September 25, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Plaintiff pursues claims

On September 25, 2018, Chegg reported that it had “learned that on or around April 29, 2018, an unauthorized party gained access
to a Company database that hosts user data for chegg.com and certain of the Company’s family of brands such as EasyBib.” The
Company reported that approximately 40 million users’ data, including username, email address, shipping address, and hashed
password, could have been obtained and that an investigation into the incident was ongoing. On this news, shares of Chegg fell over
12% to close at $28.42 on September 26, 2018, thereby injuring investors.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or
misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and
prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company lacked adequate security measures to
protect users’ data; (2) that the Company lacked the internal controls and procedures to detect unauthorized access to its systems
and to its data; (3) that as a result, the Company would incur additional expenses and litigation risks; and (4) that, as a result
of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false
and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
