Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Investors Regarding the Lincoln Securities Class Action Lawsuit: What is the Lincoln securities fraud lawsuit about? The lawsuit alleges that Lincoln Educational Services Corporation and certain of its officers and directors made materially misleading statements and/or statements that lacked a reasonable basis during the Class Period from May 11, 2026 through August 9, 2026. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Defendants knew or recklessly disregarded that the Company's admissions process was not effectively converting enrolled students into actual student starts, and that the Company was allegedly experiencing a significant and undisclosed decline in that conversion rate.

Following this disclosure, Lincoln's stock price allegedly fell $10.22 per share, or approximately 24.93%, to close at $30.77 on unusually heavy trading volume, which the lawsuit alleges reflects losses caused by the prior misstatements.
