On May 4, 2015, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (the “Company”) and each of the following of its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”): Corinthian Schools, Inc., Rhodes Colleges, Inc., Florida Metropolitan University, Inc., Corinthian Property Group, Inc., Titan Schools, Inc., Career Choices, Inc., Sequoia Education, Inc., ETON Education, Inc., Ashmead Education, Inc., MJB Acquisition Corporation, ECAT Acquisition, Inc., Pegasus Education, Inc., Grand Rapids Educational Center, Inc., Rhodes Business Group, Inc., Everest College Phoenix, Inc., CDI Education USA, Inc., SP PE VII-B Heald Holdings Corp., SD III-B Heald Holdings Corp., Heald Capital LLC, Heald Real Estate, LLC, Heald Education, LLC, Heald College, LLC, QuickStart Intelligence Corporation and Socle Education, Inc. The Chapter 11 petitions are being jointly administered under the caption In re: Corinthian Colleges, Inc. et al., Case No. 15-10952 (KJC) (the “Chapter 11 Petitions”).

The Company’s stockholders are cautioned that trading in shares of the Company’s equity securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Petitions is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s equity securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders in our Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.  At this time, the Company does not expect to be able to distribute any proceeds from the Chapter 11 Petitions to stockholders. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its equity securities.

Effective May 1, 2015, Jack D. Massimino, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, voluntarily agreed to reduce his annual compensation to one dollar ($1).
