SECURITIES FRAUD ALERT: The Law Firm of Andrews & Springer LLC Announces That A Securities Fraud Class Action Has Been Filed ...

Andrews & Springer LLC, a boutique securities class action law firm focused on representing shareholders nationwide, announced today that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California, on behalf of investors of Edison International (NYSE: EIX) (“Edison” or the “Company”) that held shares between July 31, 2014 and June 24, 2015 (the “Class Period”). If you purchased Edison securities during the Class Period, you may, no later than September 4, 2015, request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class.

NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE.

The lawsuit alleges that Edison made false and misleading statements about the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. In particular, the complaint alleges that: (i) Edison’s ex parte contacts with California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) decision makers were more extensive than the Company had reported to CPUC; (ii) that belated disclosure of Edison’s ex parte contacts with the CPUC personnel would jeopardize the Company’s $3.3 billion dollar San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (“SONGS”) Settlement; and (iii) as a result of the above, the Company’s financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On June 22, 2015, the law firm Strumwasser & Woocher released an independent report commissioned by the CPUC in connection with a review of ex parte meetings between utility lobbyists or executives and CPUC decision makers (the “Strumwasser Report”). The Strumwasser Report described such ex parte meetings as frequent, pervasive, and at least sometimes outcome-determinative, and recommended banning them altogether in rate cases.

On June 24, 2015, the Utility Reform Network (“TURN”) filed an application with the CPUC that charged Edison’s largest subsidiary, Southern California Edison (“SCE”), with fraud by concealment and urged the CPUC to set aside the SONGS Settlement and reopen its investigation.

As a result, Edison executives caused Edison securities to trade at artificially inflated prices by improperly concealing this information.

On this news, shares of Edison declined $1.56 per share or over 2.70%, to close at $56.07 on June 24, 2015.
