Are there any pending disclosures or filings (e.g., 8‑K, 10‑Q) that could provide more details on the investigation?

Short answer: The press release you referenced does not mention any specific pending SEC disclosures (such as an 8‑K, 10‑Q, or other filing) that would contain additional details about the Rosen Law Firm’s investigation into Vera Bradley, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRA).

Why the release doesn’t cite a filing

Element from the release What it tells us
“Rosen Law Firm
 continues to investigate potential securities claims” Indicates an ongoing investigation, but no mention of a formal filing by Vera Bradley to disclose the matter.
“Resulting from allegations that Vera Bradley may have issued materially
 ” Describes the nature of the alleged wrongdoing, yet stops short of referencing any specific SEC filing that the company may have made in connection.
No reference to “Form 8‑K,” “Form 10‑Q,” “Form S‑1,” or any other SEC document If a filing existed, standard press‑release language would typically point readers to the filing (e.g., “the company filed a Form 8‑K on [date]”)—that language is absent.

Because the release is purely a law‑firm‑driven investor‑rights communication, it is common for such releases to encourage shareholders to inquire or consider litigation without citing the company’s own regulatory disclosures.

What you can do to verify whether a filing exists

Even though the news article itself does not list a pending filing, you can independently check for any recent or upcoming disclosures that might shed light on the investigation:

  1. SEC’s EDGAR database – Search for Vera Bradley, Inc. (CIK 0000838965) and filter by:

    • Form 8‑K (current reports) – look for filings in the last 30 days.
    • Form 10‑Q (quarterly reports) – the most recent quarter’s filing may contain a “Legal Proceedings” or “Risk Factors” section.
    • Form 10‑K (annual report) – often includes a “Legal Proceedings” item that would mention ongoing securities‑class‑action investigations, if material.

  2. Company Investor Relations site – Vera Bradley typically posts PDFs of its SEC filings and may issue a press release or “Materials for Shareholders” announcement that references the investigation.

  3. SEC “Company Filings” alerts – Sign up for email alerts on VRA filings; you’ll be notified immediately if an 8‑K or other material filing is posted.

  4. Legal‑monitoring services – Platforms like LexisNexis, Westlaw, or Bloomberg Law index litigation filings and can tell you whether a securities class‑action complaint has been filed in a federal court (which often triggers a related 8‑K).

Typical SEC filing triggers for a securities‑class‑action investigation

Filing type When it is required What you’d expect to see
Form 8‑K (Item 1.01 – Entry into a material definitive agreement) When a company signs a settlement or enters a consent decree that is material. Disclosure of the settlement terms, any financial impact, and a description of the underlying allegations.
Form 8‑K (Item 1.05 – Departure of directors or certain officers) If the investigation results in a senior executive’s resignation. Statement of departure and any related legal matters.
Form 8‑K (Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition) If the investigation materially affects earnings, cash flow, or contingent liabilities. Discussion of the potential financial impact, estimates of possible damages, and risk factors.
Form 10‑Q (Item 1 – Legal Proceedings) Quarterly updates include any material legal proceedings ongoing as of the filing date. Narrative of the investigation, any pending litigation, and management’s view on potential outcomes.
Form 10‑K (Item 1 – Legal Proceedings) Annual filing includes a comprehensive view of all material legal matters for the fiscal year. Full description of the investigation, any settlements, and any contingent liabilities recorded in the financial statements.

If Vera Bradley’s investigation is material (i.e., could affect the company’s financial position or share price), the company would normally disclose it in one of the above filings within four business days (for a material 8‑K) or within the next periodic report (10‑Q/10‑K).

Bottom line

  • The press release itself does not reference any pending SEC filing that would provide further details about the Rosen Law Firm’s securities‑class‑action investigation.
  • You should still check Vera Bradley’s recent SEC filings (8‑K, 10‑Q, 10‑K) on EDGAR to confirm whether the company has disclosed the investigation in a regulatory filing.
  • If no filing appears, it may mean the investigation has not yet reached the threshold for mandatory disclosure, or the company may be awaiting further developments before filing.
