shareholders. For more information, please refer to our annual letter to shareholders, which is
attached hereto as exhibit 99.01 and incorporated herein by reference.
The information referenced in this Item 7.01, including the letter attached hereto as exhibit
99.01, is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01 in satisfaction of the public disclosure
requirements of Regulation FD. This information is being “furnished” to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under
the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by
specific reference in such a filing.
The annual letter to shareholders contains statements that are forward looking and are made
pursuant to the “safe-harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
“(Reform Act)”. The statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and are subject to a
number of uncertainties and risks. In connection with the Safe Harbor provisions of the Reform Act,
the Company has identified important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to
differ materially. The uncertainties and risks include the pace of growth of student enrollment,
our continued compliance with Title IV of the Higher Education Act, and the regulations thereunder,
as well as regional accreditation standards and state regulatory requirements, competitive factors,
risks associated with the opening of new campuses, risks associated with the offering of new
educational programs and adapting to other changes, risks associated with the acquisition of
existing educational institutions, risks relating to the timing of regulatory approvals, our
ability to implement our growth strategy, risks associated with the ability of our students to
finance their education in a timely manner, and general economic and market conditions. Further
information about these and other relevant risks and uncertainties may be found in the Company’s
annual report on Form 10-K and its other filings with the Commission. We undertake no obligation to
update or revise forward looking statements.
