In a recently filed federal class action complaint, ITT Educational and certain of its officers and directors were charged with violating certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (a) ITT Educational failed to properly account for the 2009 loan risk-sharing agreement and its PEAKS Program; and (b) Proper internal controls were not maintained in order to confirm that risk-sharing agreements were properly recorded. Additionally, the complaint alleges that after the market found out about the above disclosures the stock dropped substantially.
"Recent revelations about alleged improper business practices and procedures regarding key aspects of ITT Educational business and other misleading financial statements have prompted the firms to investigate possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of state law by ITT Educational officers and directors. Based on our investigation, we are prepared to pursue litigation to preserve the company and the value of ITT Educational stock for all shareholders," said shareholder rights attorney Patrick Powers.
