<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A nearly five-year veteran of Career Education, O&#146;Sullivan previously served as the company&#146;s senior vice president, corporate controller and
chief accounting officer, where she closely collaborated with Graham and was responsible for maintaining the books and records of the company, including the reporting of financial results to the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as other
regulatory and accrediting bodies. O&#146;Sullivan also had responsibility for several centralized transaction processing units and led the team responsible for reviewing Career Education&#146;s financial controls. </FONT></P>

Steven H. Lesnik, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Career Education. &#147;Her experience and exposure to all aspects of the Career Education business and the role our institutions play in postsecondary education will enable her to
continue to help us navigate this period of economic and sector uncertainty. Her expertise in the rigors and discipline of corporate finance and understanding of postsecondary education funding directly align with our company-wide commitment to full
regulatory compliance in our policies, practices and procedures.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Lesnik added: &#147;Mike Graham has been a great asset to this company
for the past five years, and has built a very talented organization &#150; and Colleen is a stellar example of the high-performing talent Mike developed. He has led the charge to keep us on the path of financial integrity and transparency, a legacy
he has passed on to the finance team. All of us at Career Education owe Mike tremendous gratitude for the positive impact he&#146;s had on our organization.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
