On August 29, 2012, the DeVry Group Board of Directors (“Board”) authorized an eighth share repurchase program, which allowed DeVry Group to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock through December 31, 2014. This program commenced in November 2012. Repurchases under this program were suspended in May 2013. In August 2014, the Board approved the extension of the eighth share repurchase program through December 31, 2015, and authorized the recommencement of repurchases under the program which began in September 2014. A total of 433,152 shares were repurchased during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 for $18.7 million. As of March 31, 2015, the total remaining authorization under this eighth repurchase program was $61.0 million. The timing and amount of any repurchase will be determined based on evaluation of market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open market, including block purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The buyback will be funded through available cash balances and/or borrowings and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Shares of stock repurchased under the programs are held as treasury shares. These repurchased shares have reduced the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
