Stull, Stull & Brody Is Investigating Claims on Behalf of LendingClub’s (NYSE:LC) Employee Stock Purchase Plans

NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stull, Stull & Brody (“SS&B”) reminds investors that a class action lawsuit was commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of stock of LendingClub Corporation (“LendingClub” or the “Company”) during the period from December 11, 2014 through May 6, 2016 (the “Class Period”).  The complaint alleges, among other things, LendingClub misled investors with respect to its loan origination volume and that the Company had material weaknesses in its internal controls.
