Modification of Credit Agreement with Grand Canyon University.

On October 28, 2021, the Company received formal notice from GCU of GCU’s entry into a refinancing transaction (the “Refinancing”) the proceeds of which will be used to repay $500.0 million of the outstanding balance of the Secured Note on October 29, 2021. In connection with the Refinancing and related partial repayment of the Secured Note, the Company entered into a Modification of Credit Agreement with GCU (the “Modification”). The Modification provides that, in exchange for the partial repayment, (i) the Company will release its first priority lien on GCU’s assets, (ii) GCU will grant a first priority lien to a financial institution as master trustee under a master trust indenture (the “Master Trust Indenture”), and (iii) the Company will receive an obligation from the master trust evidencing the remaining balance of the Secured Note due to the Company (the “Trust Obligation”). The Trust Obligation continues to bear interest at an annual rate of 6.0%, has a maturity date of June 30, 2025, and is secured on an equal and proportional basis with all other obligations issued under the Master Trust Indenture by all of the assets of GCU.
