Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On March 31, 2015, DeVry Education Group Inc. (“DeVry Group”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, PNC Bank, National Association, as syndication agent, Bank of Montreal and The Northern Trust Company, as co-documentation agents, and other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement replaces DeVry Group’s prior $400 million Credit Agreement (the “Old Credit Agreement”), dated May 11, 2011, among DeVry Group and certain of its subsidiaries, Bank of America, as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, The Northern Trust Company, as syndication agent, Bank of Montreal, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association and PNC Bank, National Association, as co-documentation agents, and other lenders party thereto, which was scheduled to expire in May 2016. Proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes.
The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility in the amount of $400 million (the “Aggregate Commitment”) with availability in currencies other than United States dollars of up to $200 million. Up to $50 million of the Aggregate Commitment will be available for letters of credit. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Aggregate Commitment may be increased up to $550 million. DeVry Group may select interest rates for borrowings under the Credit Agreement equal to (a)(i) LIBOR or a LIBOR-equivalent rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (ii) a base rate, plus (b) an applicable rate based on the DeVry Group’s consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The applicable rate ranges from 2% to 3% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and from 1% to 2% for Base Rate Loans.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants, representations, warranties, events of default and remedies upon default including acceleration, and borrowing conditions. Full details of the Credit Agreement are contained in the agreement included as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 8-K. Currently, there are no outstanding borrowings under either the Old Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement.
There is no material relationship between DeVry Group or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and any of the lending parties or the administrative agent, other than in respect of the Credit Agreement and certain banking relationships all entered into in the ordinary course of business.
