CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Our forward-looking statements are based on a series of expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our company, are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve substantial risks and uncertainty. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Our business and our forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties inherent in our statements regarding:
| ● | compliance with the extensive existing legislative and regulatory framework applicable to our industry or our failure to timely obtain and maintain regulatory approvals and accreditation; |
|---|---|
| ● | compliance with continuous changes in applicable federal laws and regulations including recently enacted federal legislation, executive orders and pending rulemaking by the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”); |
| ● | the effect of current and future Title IV Program laws and regulations arising out of recent legislation, executive orders and negotiated rulemakings, including any recent and potential future reductions in funding or restrictions on the use of funds received through Title IV Programs; |
| ● | successful updating and expansion of the content of existing programs and developing new programs in a cost-effective manner or on a timely basis; |
| ● | uncertainties regarding our ability to comply with current and future federal laws and regulations including the 90/10 Rule (as defined herein), gainful employment and earnings metrics, and limits on cohort default rates; |
| ● | successful implementation of our strategic plan; |
| ● | our inability to maintain eligibility for or to process federal student financial assistance; |
| ● | regulatory investigations of, or actions commenced against, us or other companies in our industry; |
| ● | changes in the state regulatory environment or budgetary constraints; |
| ● | enrollment declines or challenges in our students’ ability to find employment as a result of economic conditions; |
| ● | maintenance and expansion of existing industry relationships and development of new industry relationships; |
| ● | a loss of members of our senior management or other key employees; |
| ● | uncertainties associated with opening of new campuses and closing existing campuses; |
| ● | uncertainties associated with integration of acquired schools; |
| ● | industry competition; |
| ● | the effect of any cybersecurity incident; |
| ● | general economic conditions; and |
| ● | other factors discussed under the headings “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” |
All of our forward-looking statements are as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K only. In each case, actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking information. We can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or included in our other public disclosures or our other periodic reports or other documents or filings filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Except as required by law, we do not undertake or plan to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or projections or other circumstances affecting such forward-looking statements occurring after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, even if such results, changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. Any public statements or disclosures by us following this Annual Report on Form 10-K that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
RISK FACTOR SUMMARY
Our business is subject to significant risks and uncertainties that make an investment in us speculative and risky. Below we summarize what we believe are the principal risk factors but these risks are not the only ones we face, and you should carefully review and consider the full discussion of our risk factors in the section titled “Risk Factors,” together with the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any of the following risks actually occur (or if any of those listed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K occur), our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, revenue, and future prospects could be seriously harmed. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business.
Risks Related to the Highly Regulated Field in Which We Operate
| ● | Current and future federal and state statutes, or regulations promulgated by ED or other federal, state, or accrediting agencies, could materially and adversely affect our operations, business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. |
|---|---|
| ● | The OBBBA (defined below) provisions related to low earning outcome programs and ED’s gainful employment regulation may limit the programs we can offer students and increase our cost of operations. |
| ● | ED’s “borrower defense to repayment” regulations may subject us to significant repayment liability to ED for discharged federal student loans, posting of substantial letters of credit and other requirements that could have a material adverse effect on us. |
| ● | A failure to maintain compliance with ED’s “financial responsibility” regulations could have negative impacts on our operations. |
| ● | A failure to maintain compliance with ED’s “administrative capability” regulations could have negative impacts on our operations. |
| ● | Our institutions could be subject to liabilities and sanctions if they violate statutory provisions of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and related ED regulations and guidance limiting compensation to individuals and entities involved in certain recruiting, admissions or financial aid activities. |
| ● | Our institutions could lose their eligibility to participate in Title IV Programs if the percentage of their revenues derived from applicable federal educational assistance programs is too high. |
| ● | Our institutions could lose their eligibility to participate in Title IV Programs or have other limitations placed upon them if their federal student loan cohort default rates are greater than the standards set forth in the HEA and implemented by ED. |
| ● | If ED denies, or significantly conditions, recertification of any of our institutions to participate in Title IV Programs, that institution could not conduct its business as it is currently conducted and it could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. |
| ● | If we acquire an institution, the acquisition generally constitutes a change in ownership and control that requires the institution to obtain approvals from ED and applicable state and accrediting agencies in order to remain eligible to participate in the Title IV Programs and continue to operate as an accredited institution in the states where the institution operates. |
| ● | If we or one of our institutions undergoes a change in ownership or control, we may be required to obtain approval from ED and other regulatory agencies that oversee our institutions and may be subject to further conditions or restrictions as a result of the change. |
| ● | Our failure to comply with laws and regulations prohibiting misrepresentations regarding our institutions could result in sanctions, liabilities or litigation that could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. |
| ● | If our institutions fail to comply with regulations regarding accurate and timely refunds and returns of Title IV Program aid in connection with students who withdraw from their programs, we could be subject to liabilities and sanctions. |
|---|---|
| ● | If we open new campuses or add or change new educational programs, we may be required to obtain approvals from ED and our state and accrediting agencies. |
| ● | If our students’ access to financial aid from state sources, from federal sources other than the Title IV Programs, or from alternative loan programs is lost or reduced, due to changes in legal requirements or funding availability or due to noncompliance with legal requirements, it could impact our results of operations. |
| ● | Government and regulatory agencies and third parties may conduct compliance reviews and audits or bring actions against us that could result in monetary liabilities, injunctions, loss of eligibility for the Title IV Programs or other adverse outcomes. |
| ● | Our institutions could be subject to liabilities, sanctions, or loss of eligibility if they violate statutory provisions of Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and related ED regulations and guidance. |
Risks Related to Our Business
| ● | Our financial performance depends on the level of student enrollment in our institutions. |
|---|---|
| ● | We compete with a variety of educational institutions and if we are unable to compete effectively, our total student enrollment and revenue could be adversely impacted. |
| ● | Our business is subject to fluctuations caused by seasonality or other factors beyond our control, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. |
| ● | We rely on proprietary rights and intellectual property in conducting our business, which may not be adequately protected under current laws, and we may encounter disputes from time to time relating to our use of intellectual property of third parties. |
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
| ● | We are subject to the rules and regulation of the NYSE American and are required to comply with certain continued exchange listing standards and requirements or be subject to delisting. |
|---|---|
| ● | Our stock price may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment. |
| ● | We do not intend to pay cash dividends. |
| ● | Market and economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition, and share price. |
| ● | Future sales and issuances of our securities could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause our share price to fall. |
