Exelon Corporation (EXC) Securities Class Action:

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants concealed that Exelon and its executives were engaged in unlawful lobbying activities and that revenues generated by Exelon's subsidiary, ComEd, were in part the product of unlawful conduct.

The Complaint alleges that the market learned the truth through a series of disclosures, beginning on July 15, 2019, when Defendants disclosed that both Exelon and ComEd had received a grand jury subpoena from the DOJ requiring information concerning their lobbying activities in Illinois.

Then, on Oct. 9, 2019, Defendants disclosed that both Exelon and ComEd had received a second grand jury subpoena from the DOJ, now seeking communications with certain individuals and entities, including Illinois State Senator Martin Sandoval.

On Oct. 15, 2019, Exelon announced the abrupt departure of Anne Pramaggiore, Chief Executive Officer of Exelon Utilities, and former President/CEO of ComEd.

Then, on Oct. 31, 2019, Defendants disclosed that the SEC had also opened an investigation into Exelon's lobbying activities.

Finally, on Nov. 1, 2019, the Chicago Tribune reported that according to a source with knowledge, Ms. Pramaggiore was one focus of the ongoing federal investigation. According to the same article, ComEd's lobbying investigation dated back to at least mid-May 2019, when the FBI executed search warrants at the homes of former lobbyist Mike McClain of Quincy, a longtime confidant of House Speaker Michael Madigan, and of former 23rd Ward Ald. Michael Zalewski. Additionally, the FBI sought communications among Madigan, McClain and Zalewski about attempts to obtain ComEd lobbying work for Zalewski.
