Select U.S. Q3 2015 Education Merger, Acquisition, and

Divestiture Transactions
The economic recovery and regulatory environment in the United States have
resulted in a decline in enrollments at for-profit post-secondary institutions. This
has led to a decrease in M&A activity in that sector. EdTech, Corporate Training,
and service companies continue to experience a healthy level of M&A and
investment activity. On November 13, 2015, Instructure, Inc.s IPO debuted at
$16.00 per share and closed on the following Monday at $17.70. This appears to
support the strong interest by investors in the EdTech sector. We await the
outcomes of the IPOs for McGraw-Hill Education and Laureate Education, Inc.
in the coming months.
