​ Senior Secured Notes due 2028 On March 1, 2021, Adtalem issued $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”), which mature on March 1, 2028, pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 1, 2021 (the “Indenture”), by and between Adtalem and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and notes collateral agent. The Notes were sold within the U.S. only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the U.S. to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes were issued at 100.0% of their par value. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2021, to holders of record on the preceding February 15 and August 15, as the case may be. The Notes are guaranteed by certain of Adtalem’s subsidiaries that are borrowers or guarantors under its senior secured credit facilities and certain of its other senior indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions. The Notes are secured, subject to permitted liens and certain other exceptions, by first priority liens on the same collateral that secures the obligations under Adtalem’s senior secured credit facilities. We may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 1, 2024 at redemption prices equal to 102.75%, 101.375%, and 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed if the redemption occurs during the twelve-month periods beginning on March 1 of the years 2024, 2025, and 2026 and thereafter, respectively, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. On April 11, 2022, we repaid $373.3 million of Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes. During June 2022, we repurchased on the open market an additional $20.8 million of Notes at a price equal to approximately 90% of the principal amount of the Notes. This debt was subsequently retired. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, we repurchased on the open market an additional $0.9 million of Notes at a price equal to approximately 92% of the principal amount of the Notes. This debt was subsequently retired. The principal balance of the Notes is $405.0 million as of December 31, 2024. Accrued interest on the Notes of $7.4 million and $7.4 million is recorded within accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Credit Agreement On August 12, 2021, in connection with the Walden acquisition, Adtalem entered into its new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for (1) a $850.0 million senior secured term loan (“Term Loan B”) with a maturity date of August 12, 2028 and (2) a $400.0 million senior secured revolving loan facility (“Revolver”) with a maturity date of August 12, 2026. We refer to the Term Loan B and Revolver collectively as the “Credit Facility.” The Revolver has availability for letters of credit and currencies other than U.S. dollars of up to $400.0 million. On June 27, 2023, Adtalem entered into Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, identifying the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the benchmark rate to replace LIBOR for eurocurrency rate loans within the Credit Agreement effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. Term Loan B Prior to January 26, 2024, borrowings under the Term Loan B bore interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 4.00% to 4.50%, subject to a SOFR floor of 0.75%, or an alternate base rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.00% to 3.50% depending on Adtalem’s net first lien leverage ratio for such period. On January 26, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, which resulted in a 0.50% reduction in our Term Loan B interest rate margin. From January 26, 2024 through August 21, 2024, borrowings under the Term Loan B bore interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.50% to 4.00%, subject to a SOFR floor of 0.75%, or an ABR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.00% depending on Adtalem’s net first lien leverage ratio for such period. On August 21, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, which resulted in a further 0.75% reduction in our Term Loan B interest rate margin and removed the leverage-based pricing grid. After August 21, 2024, borrowings under the Term Loan B bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, SOFR plus 2.75%, subject to a SOFR floor of 0.75%, or an ABR plus 1.75%. As of December 31, 2024, the interest rate for borrowings under the Term Loan B facility was 7.11%, which approximated the effective interest rate. The Term Loan B originally required quarterly installment payments of $2.125 million beginning on March 31, 2022. On March 11, 2022, we made a prepayment of $396.7 million on the Term Loan B. With that prepayment, we are no longer required to make quarterly installment payments. We made additional Term Loan B prepayments of $100.0 million, $50.0 million, and $50.0 million on September 22, 2022, November 22, 2022, and January 26, 2024, respectively. The principal balance of the Term Loan B is $253.3 million as of December 31, 2024. On January 17, 2025, we made an additional prepayment of $100.0 million on the Term Loan B, reducing the principal balance on the Term Loan B to $153.3 million as of January 17, 2025. Revolver Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR, subject to a SOFR floor of 0.75%, plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.75% to 4.25% or an ABR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.75% to 3.25% depending on Adtalem’s net first lien leverage ratio for such period. There were no borrowings under the Revolver during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Credit Agreement requires payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.25% as of December 31, 2024, of the unused portion of the Revolver. The commitment fee expense is recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The amount unused under the Revolver was $301.0 million as of December 31, 2024. Debt Discount and Issuance Costs The Term Loan B was issued at a price of 99% of its principal amount, resulting in an original issue discount of 1%. The debt discount and issuance costs related to the Notes and Term Loan B are presented as a direct deduction from the face amount of the debt, while the debt issuance costs related to the Revolver are classified as other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The debt discount and issuance costs are amortized as interest expense over seven years for the Notes and Term Loan B and over five years for the Revolver. The following table summarizes the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs activity for the six months ended December 31, 2024 (in thousands): ​

​ Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements On December 6, 2024, the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”) notified Adtalem that the $69.4 million surety-backed letter of credit in favor of ED on behalf of Walden, which allows Walden to participate in Title IV programs would be permitted to expire on December 31, 2024. A letter of credit in the amount of $157.9 million, representing 10% of the consolidated Title IV funds Adtalem’s institutions received during fiscal year 2022, was delivered to ED on November 1, 2023 with an expiration date of December 31, 2024. On December 3, 2024, ED requested Adtalem amend the letter of credit to $179.0 million, representing 10% of the consolidated Title IV funds Adtalem’s institutions received during fiscal year 2024 with an expiration date of January 31, 2026. As requested, Adtalem delivered this amended letter of credit to ED on December 13, 2024. Adtalem satisfied this request by securing a $99.0 million letter of credit under its Revolver and an $80.0 million surety-backed letter of credit. As of December 31, 2024, Adtalem had $179.0 million of letters of credit outstanding in favor of ED. Many states require private-sector postsecondary education institutions to post surety bonds for licensure. In the U.S., Adtalem has posted $63.9 million of surety bonds as of December 31, 2024 with regulatory authorities on behalf of Chamberlain, Walden, AUC, RUSM, and RUSVM.

​ Covenants and Guarantees The Credit Agreement and Notes contain customary covenants, including restrictions on our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, grant liens or security interest on assets, make acquisitions, loans, advances or investments, or sell or otherwise transfer assets. Obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of Adtalem and certain of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default for facilities of this type. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, the commitments thereunder may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding thereunder, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owed thereunder, may be declared immediately due and payable. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, Adtalem is required to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of equal to or less than 3.25 to 1.00. Adtalem was in compliance with the Credit Agreement debt covenants and the Notes covenants as of December 31, 2024.
