Chegg is a direct-to-student learning platform that provides educational materials and services to high school and college

On September 25, 2018, the Company reported that an unauthorized party had gained access on or around April 29, 2018 to
approximately 40 million users’ data, including username, email address, shipping address, and hashed Chegg password.
On this news, the Company’s share price fell $3.91, or approximately 12%, to close at $28.42 per share on September 26,
2018, on unusually heavy trading volume.
The investor class action complaint alleges that defendants violated the federal securities laws during the Class Period by
making false and misleading statements and failing to disclose to investors that: (i) the Company lacked adequate security measures
to protect users’ data; (ii) the Company lacked the internal controls and procedures to detect unauthorized access to its systems
and to its data; and (iii) at as a result, the Company would incur additional expenses and litigation risks. The complaint
further alleges that, as a result of the foregoing, investors purchased Chegg’s securities at artificially inflated values during
the Class Period, and have suffered financial damages as a result of defendants’ actions.
