14. Share Repurchases

Open Market Share Repurchase Programs

On March 1, 2022, we announced that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized Adtalem’s thirteenth share repurchase program, which allows Adtalem to repurchase up to $300.0 million of its common stock through February 25, 2025. On January 16, 2024, Adtalem completed its thirteenth share repurchase program. On January 19, 2024, we announced that the Board authorized Adtalem’s fourteenth share repurchase program, which allows Adtalem to repurchase up to $300.0 million of its common stock through January 16, 2027. Adtalem made share repurchases under its share repurchase programs as follows, which includes the market price of the shares, commissions, and excise tax (in thousands, except shares and per share data):

As of December 31, 2023, $11.6 million of authorized share repurchases were remaining under the thirteenth share repurchase program. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, our authorized share repurchases increased by $300.0 million related to the fourteenth share repurchase program as described above. The timing and amount of any future repurchases will be determined based on an evaluation of market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Repurchases will be funded through available cash balances and ongoing business operating cash generation and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares of stock repurchased under the programs are held as treasury shares. Repurchases under our share repurchase programs reduce the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.

ASR Agreement

On March 14, 2022, we entered into an ASR agreement to repurchase $150.0 million of common stock. We received an initial delivery of 4,709,576 shares of common stock representing approximately 80% of the total shares expected to be delivered at the time of executing the ASR based on the per share price on the day prior to the execution date. This initial delivery of shares reduced the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. The final number of shares to be repurchased was based on the volume-weighted

average price of Adtalem’s common stock during the term of the ASR agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms of the ASR agreement. See Note 8 “Earnings per Share” for information on the ASR impact to earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2022. The ASR agreement ended on October 14, 2022. Based on the volume-weighted average price of Adtalem’s common stock during the term of the ASR agreement, Adtalem owed the counter party 332,212 shares of common stock. We elected to settle the contract in cash instead of delivering shares by making a cash payment of $13.2 million on November 2, 2022.

On March 14, 2022, we recorded the $150.0 million purchase price of the ASR as a reduction to shareholders’ equity, consisting of a $120.0 million increase in treasury stock and a $30.0 million reduction in additional paid-in capital, which represented an equity forward contract, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the $30.0 million initially recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital was reclassified to treasury stock and an additional $13.2 million was recorded in treasury stock, which represented our final cash settlement payment.
