GPM Announces Investigation of Apollo Education Group, Inc.

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) announces that it is investigating potential claims on behalf of investors of Apollo Education Group, Inc. (“Apollo Education” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:APOL) securities. The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its officers violated securities laws by issuing misleading information to investors related to the Company’s risks and liabilities and Apollo Education’s compliance with applicable government standards.

On October 9, 2015, the Company reported that the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) had placed Apollo Education’s wholly-owned subsidiary University of Phoenix, Inc. under probationary status and that the DoD might terminate the Company’s ability to provide services to the U.S. military. The Company further stated that the DoD placed the Company on probationary status due to the University of Phoenix’s marketing practices, and that a further investigation is underway by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and California Attorney General into the Company’s business practices. On this news shares of Apollo Education declined sharply in value, falling $1.09 per share, or nearly 9%, during intra-day trading on October 9, 2015.
