6.1.2 The Company plans to acquire or invest in non-U.S. companies. This
international expansion strategy is untested, and may include acquisitions or
developments in countries where for-profit education is not well established
Foreign acquisitions involve certain risks not typically associated with U.S. acquisitions, including risks
relating to (i) currency exchange matters, including fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the U.S.
doilar and the various foreign currencies in which the Company’s non-U.S. interests are denominated,
and costs associated with conversion from one currency into another; (ii) differences between the ULS.
and foreign securities markets, including potential price volatility in and relative illiquidity of some foreign
securities markets, the absence of uniform accounting and financial reporting standards and disclosure
requirements and less governmental supervision and regulation; (fi) certain economic and political risks,
including potential restrictions on foreign acquisition and repatriation of capital, and the risks of political,
economic or social instability and the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation; {iv) the possible
imposition of foreign taxes on income and gains; and (v} differences in applicable legal systems, including
the possibility that the Company may experience difficulty in asserting legal claims or obtaining legal
remedies against sellers of businesses in foreign jurisdictions.
The Company's prior operating history is limited to its U.S.-based businesses. Historical results may not
be indicative of future performance outside the U.S. The Company's non-U.S. businesses may operate in
couniries in which the legal and regulatory frameworks, customary business models, education practices
and philosophies and political and social norms are substantially different from those in the U.S.
International expansion may also involve significant market risks, and opportunities to realize synergies
may be limited. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its international
expansion strategy.
In addition, the Company may acquire businesses or pursue business development opportunities in
countries where for-profit education is not weil-established, which may involve greater risks than those
associated with similar U.S. acquisitions and developments. For example, the performance of a for-profit
education company located in a country where for-profit education is in an embryonic stage may be
volatile. Such a company also may be unable to achieve the growth or success achieved by education
businesses in countries, such as the U.S., where for-profit education is more established. In addition,
there can be no assurance that for-profit education will ever become well-established or maintain viability
in any given country. If any of the above events occur, the Company may suffer a partial or tota! joss of
capital invested in that business or development.
6.1.3. The Company's success depends on its ability to attract and retain skilled
employees
The success of the Company will depend in part on continued employment of senior management and
other key personnel, particularly the Principals. See the discussion under the heading “The Company
may not engage in certain businesses" below. If one or mare senior management or key personnel
become unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, the business and operations of the
Company would be disrupted.
The success of the Company also depends on attracting and retaining highly trained financial, marketing
and other personnel. The Company will need to continue to hire additional personnel as its business
grows. The market for hiring such personnel is competitive and hiring such personnel may require
increased salaries and enhanced benefits under certain circumstances. A shortage in the number of
