STEVENSON, Md., Jan. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A
Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the
Central District of California on behalf of purchasers of Edison International (NYSE: EIX) (“Edison” or the “Company”) securities
during the period between February 23, 2016 through November 12, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors who wish to
become proactively involved in the litigation have until January 15, 2019 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and
be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including
whether to accept a settlement for the class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants
claiming the largest loss from investment in Edison securities during the Class Period. Members of the class will be
represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. No class has yet been certified in the above
action.
The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the
defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that the Company failed to maintain electricity transmission and
distribution networks in compliance with safety requirements and regulations promulgated under state law, the Company was in
violation of state law and regulations, and the Company’s noncompliant electricity networks created a significantly heightened risk
of wildfires in California.
According to the complaint, following a November 12, 2018 announcement of an investigation into compliance of
electrical facilities with applicable rules and regulations, the value of Edison shares declined significantly.
If you have suffered a loss in excess of $100,000 from investment in Edison securities purchased on or after
February 23, 2016 and held through the revelation of negative information during and/or at the end of the Class Period and would
like to learn more about this lawsuit and your ability to participate as a lead plaintiff, without cost or obligation to you,
