The class action, filed in United States District Court, Northern District of California, and indexed under 18-cv-06714, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities, other than Defendants and their affiliates, who purchased or otherwise, acquired Chegg securities between July 30, 2018 through September 25, 2018, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.

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

Throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) that Chegg did not maintain sufficient data security measures; (ii) that the Company maintained insufficient internal controls and procedures to data breaches of its systems; (iii) consequently, the Company would become subject to increased expenses and litigation risks; and (iv) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

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.
