Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On August 3, 2011, AUC School of Medicine B.V. (“AUC BV”) a wholly owned St. Maarten subsidiary of DeVry Inc. acquired the international business operations of privately held American University of the Caribbean (AUC). DeVry Medical International, Inc. (“DMI”), a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of DeVry Inc. acquired the Florida business operations of Medical Education Services, Inc. (“MES”). Under the terms of the agreement, AUC BV and DMI paid a combined $235 million in cash in exchange for the business assets of AUC and MES. The acquisition of AUC is expected to be accretive to DeVry’s earnings beginning in fiscal 2012.
AUC’s medical school campus is located in St. Maarten, and its administrative offices are located in Coral Gables, Florida. Since 1978, AUC has provided its students with high quality medical education, and now has more than 4,000 graduates who are licensed and practicing medicine throughout the world. The school is accredited by the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM), and its students are eligible to sit for the USMLE, obtain U.S. Federal Financial Aid if qualified, become active members of the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) and, upon graduation, obtain residency and licensure throughout the United States. AUC is one of only three Caribbean medical schools whose students are eligible to receive federal student aid. AUC utilizes the same curriculum as U.S. medical schools, with two years of basic sciences taught at the St. Maarten campus, followed by two years of clinical sciences taught at affiliated hospitals in the U. S. and England. AUC graduates are eligible to practice medicine in all 50 states.
The acquisition of AUC is consistent with DeVry's growth and diversification strategy, increasing its presence in high quality medical and healthcare education and expanding its academic offerings at the post-baccalaureate level. AUC’s total enrollment is approximately 1,000 students. DeVry was attracted to AUC because of its highly regarded faculty, commitment to academic excellence, and an accomplished network of alumni. In addition, AUC has strong partnerships with residency placement hospitals across the United States.
AUC will continue to operate as an independent institution, and will benefit from the sharing of best practices and systems as a part of DeVry’s family of colleges and universities. The school will become part of DeVry’s Healthcare Group, joining Ross University School of Medicine, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, Chamberlain College of Nursing and Carrington Colleges Group.
A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of the press release issued on August 4, 2011 announcing the acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
