On February 12, 2015, Kaplan Inc. (Kaplan) and Kaplan Higher Education, LLC (KHE) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Education Corporation of America (ECA) to sell substantially all of the assets of its KHE Campuses business, consisting of thirty-eight nationally accredited ground campuses, and certain related assets, in exchange for a preferred equity interest in ECA.
In 2014, the KHE Campuses business had revenues of approximately $275 million and operating losses of $12.5 million. The Company expects to report a pre-tax loss on the transaction that is not material to the Company’s overall financial position.
