The complaint alleges that the Company made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (a) the Company manipulated federal student loan and grant programs to appear to comply with new federal regulations enacted as of June 2011; (b) the Company employed deceptive recruiting practices that were in violation of newly enacted federal regulations; (c) the Company engaged in numerous practices, including loan forbearance programs, in an attempt to appear compliant with relevant government regulations.

As a result, Apollo's shares fell 4.1% or $1.17, to close at $27.22 on July 30, 2012. On April 1, 2014, Apollo disclosed that the Department of Education is conducting an investigation into the Company.
