Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., including former Special Assistant United States Attorney, Timothy J. MacFall, reminds shareholders of Bridgepoint Education, Inc. (“Bridgepoint” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BPI) of an upcoming deadline involving a securities fraud class action lawsuit commenced against the Company.

A complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased the common stock of Bridgepoint between August 7, 2012 and May 30, 2014, inclusive (the “Class Period”), alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers (the “Complaint”). If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 27, 2015.

If you purchased shares of Bridgepoint during the Class Period, or purchased shares prior to the Class Period and still hold Bridgepoint, and wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact Timothy J. MacFall, Esquire or Peter Allocco of Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 2 Righter Parkway, Suite 120, Wilmington, DE 19803 at (888) 969-4242; by e-mail to info@rl-legal.com; or at: http://www.rigrodskylong.com/investigations/bridgepoint-education-inc-bpi-2015.

Bridgepoint is a for-profit provider of postsecondary education services. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and omitted materially adverse facts, about the Company’s business, operations and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the defendants concealed from the investing public: (1) that the Company had applied improper revenue recognition methodology to assess collectability of funds owed by students; (2) that, as a result, the Company’s revenues and financial results were overstated; (3) that, as such, the Company’s financial statements were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”); (4) that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. As a result of defendants’ alleged false and misleading statements, the Company’s stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.

According to the Complaint, on May 30, 2014, Bridgepoint filed a current report with the SEC on Form 8-K announcing that the Company’s management had determined that its financial statements filed with the SEC the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, as well as the financial statements issued for the quarters ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012, should no longer be relied upon. According to the Company, those financial statements contained errors related to revenue recognition that resulted in material misstatements of revenue, bad debt expense and accounts receivable.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 27, 2015. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting 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. Any member of the proposed class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

While Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. did not file the Complaint in this matter, the firm, with offices in Wilmington, Delaware and Garden City, New York, regularly litigates securities class, derivative and direct actions, shareholder rights litigation and corporate governance litigation, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty and proxy violations in the Delaware Court of Chancery and in state and federal courts throughout the United States.
