COMPLAINT ALLEGATION SUMMARY:
Lincoln provides various career-oriented postsecondary education services to high school graduates and working adults in the United States.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material facts about the company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the company’s admissions process was not effectively converting students from enrollment to starting classes, causing the company to experience a significant drop in student starts relative to enrollment; and (2) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about the company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

WHY DID LINCOLN’S STOCK DROP?
On August 10, 2026, Lincoln reported that student starts increased by only 1% year-over-year, despite enrollment increasing by 9%. On this news, the price of Lincoln stock fell nearly 25%.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS:
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Lincoln securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Lincoln class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Filling out the online form above or communicating with any counsel is not necessary to participate or share in any recovery achieved in this case. Any member of the purported class may move the court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
