Adtalem Commences Offer to Purchase Certain of its Outstanding 5.500% Senior Notes due 2028

Adtalem Global Education, Inc. (NYSE: ATGE), a leading healthcare educator, today announced that it has commenced an offer to purchase for cash (the “Asset Sale Offer”) up to $373,333,000 of its 5.500% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”), with a portion of the net cash proceeds received from its previously announced divestiture of the financial services segment. The Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to the indenture governing the Notes (as amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”) and an Offer to Purchase, dated March 14, 2022 and related Letter of Transmittal, which more fully set forth the terms and conditions of the Asset Sale Offer.

The Asset Sale Offer will expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on April 8, 2022, unless extended or earlier terminated. Under the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, holders of the Notes who validly tender and do not withdraw their Notes prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on April 8, 2022 (as such time and date may be extended) and whose Notes are accepted for purchase, will receive the applicable “Purchase Price,” which equals 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, equivalent to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, up to, but not including, the date of payment. As provided in the Indenture, if at the Expiration Date the Notes tendered exceeds $373,333,000, Adtalem will purchase Notes on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, by lot or by other such method as the trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. In the event that less than $373,333,000 in principal amount of Notes is tendered in the Asset Sale Offer, all of the tendered Notes will be repurchased by Adtalem.
