Participants in Solicitation

Compelling Transaction for Shareholders $9.50 per share in cash Premium of ~44% to the closing price of the Apollo Education Group (“AEG”) Class A common stock on January 8, 2016, immediately prior to the announcement that the company was pursuing strategic and financial alternatives (also immediately prior to the announcement that new enrollment was down 38% in Q1’16 and guidance for 2016 was revised downward) Premium of ~37% to closing price on February 5, 2016, the last trading day prior to announcement of execution of merger agreement on February 8, 2016 Finance Committee ran a robust process and evaluated all alternatives 18 bidders participated in robust sale process Pre-signing market announcement did not result in additional bids for AEG Reviewed strategic alternatives before concluding that this transaction offered the best value and the least amount of execution, regulatory and financing risk Best risk adjusted outcome for shareholders given the numerous variables considered by the board in their decision-making process: Long term impact of regulatory inquiries, required disclosure, negative press and short sellers on brand equity, student and faculty morale, operational execution, financial performance and share price, as a public company Impact of market and regulatory environment and other extrinsic factors on the Company’s ability to forecast financial performance – which makes decision making more dependent on judgment and less on traditional fundamental analysis, and imparts greater risk to the Company’s long-term strategy and related share price appreciation potential AEG’s Department of Education financial responsibility composite score compliance and overall liquidity profile are at risk from continued declining financial performance (including the impact of ongoing restructuring) and future goodwill impairments triggered by the depressed trading of the Company’s shares Premium to current share price is not just about the adequacy of what shareholders are receiving, but also the potential downside risks they are avoiding. These risks are exacerbated if the transaction is voted down, given the likely capital markets pressures and related implications to composite score and liquidity profile Private ownership provides long-term benefits for which current shareholders are being compensated now and which are not attainable in a public operating model Confidential

1. Transaction Review

Transaction Represents Attractive Cash Value for Shareholders Confidential $9.50 all cash per share merger consideration Premium of ~44% to the closing price of the company’s Class A common stock on January 8, 2016, immediately prior to the announcement that the company was pursuing strategic and financial alternatives (also immediately prior to the announcement that new enrollment was down 38% in Q1’16 and guidance for 2016 was revised downward) Premium of ~37% to closing price on February 5, 2016, the last trading day prior to announcement of execution of merger agreement on February 8, 2016 Founder's trust and family (Class B shareholders) support transaction and are selling at the same price of $9.50 per share Buying consortium funding the deal with all equity due to insufficient interest from potential financing sources / relationship banks (current revolving credit facility expires in April 2017) The board carefully considered the $9.50 per share merger consideration based on management’s projections, adjusted for substantial risks associated with deteriorating outlook and challenging market, regulatory and credit environments Fairness opinions were provided by both Barclays and Evercore The Company’s cash is not available for distribution to shareholders as a dividend or share repurchase given the need to fund operations before performance stabilizes (including to fund cash restructuring, which is ongoing) and to maintain Department of Education financial responsibility / composite score compliance Offer provides shareholders with immediate cash value while avoiding the significant long-term execution, regulatory, liquidity and other risks the company faces

Since 2014, total enrollment has declined by over 50,000 Quarterly year-over-year new enrollments growth, the best leading indicator of the Company’s growth trajectory, has declined for the past 15 quarters New Enrollment decline has accelerated the last four quarters, with new enroll. growth of (31%) and (38%) in the two quarters prior to announcement In the most recent earnings release before announcement, new enrollment growth declined 38% and share price decreased only 3% (compared to 32% share price decrease in the prior quarter relative to 31% new enrollment decline); share price reaction was offset as the Company announced exploration of strategic alternatives concurrently with earnings release *Relative to beginning of year guidance. **Change relative to closing price prior to release of quarterly results. (1) Current immediate cash offer is the best outcome for shareholders in the face of eroding performance and consistent downward guidance revisions Share price driven lower by deteriorating performance and downward guidance revisions Most recent decline in enrollment not reflected in share price due to strategic alternatives and transaction announcements

Transaction Results from Transparent, Robust and Competitive Process Confidential AEG conducted a thorough process to elicit interest from prospective buyers Process of evaluating alternatives, including a potential sale of the company, lasted nearly a year 18 bidders participated in robust sale process 17 financial sponsors and one potential strategic acquiror signed NDAs and received information Financial sponsors were selected based on fund size, knowledge of and interest in investing in the proprietary education sector While strategic acquirors in postsecondary education were unlikely given limited financial capacity to acquire AEG and their own regulatory, operating and size/liquidity constraints, the opportunity was discussed with one potential strategic acquiror Bidders were paired with a view to increasing price and value for AEG shareholders; bidding groups included a mix of bidders that would have the financial capability and knowledge of the sector to undertake the transaction Conducted a robust pre-signing market check, including an announcement of strategic alternatives in conjunction with earnings, which did not result in additional bids Final merger agreement resulted from numerous rounds of negotiations with the consortium, including regarding price and closing certainty No financing conditionality in the deal Board of Directors believes it is unlikely that a more attractive proposal would be forthcoming Voting agreement will fall away if board accepts a better deal

Confidential Other Strategic Alternatives Are Not Compelling The Board of Directors conducted a review of strategic alternatives before concluding that this transaction offered the best value and the least amount of execution, liquidity and regulatory risk Strategic Alternative Considerations Sale of a portion of the company Strategic rationale for operating University of Phoenix (“UOPX”) and Global assets on the same leverageable platform Meaningfully higher allocated expenses to other business units if UOPX or Global assets are sold Loss of diversification benefit; sale of Global assets would lower consolidated growth trajectory and result in higher risk outlook for remaining business Performance of Global assets act as a hedge while UOPX transitions / recovers (including for DOE composite score) A sale of UOPX would likely result in limited proceeds due to its deteriorating financial performance combined with its significant liabilities (leases, teach-out requirements, etc.) Spin-off of Global business Risk that investors could view SpinCo as illiquid given small size Challenges in achieving attractive IPO valuation given lack of profitability Global’s immediate need for capital to sustain operations post-transaction Conversion of UOPX into a non-profit school or splitting the company into for-profit services company and a non-profit college (including possibly sale of Academic assets to non-profit) Challenges in obtaining tax and regulatory approvals Grand Canyon’s recent attempt to separate into a non-profit school and for-profit services Company was rejected by HLC after approx 16 months of work performed by the Company Not financially compelling given AEG’s relative lack of US real estate holdings Would be challenging to obtain financing for sale (debt financing and/or academic institution willing to purchase assets); successful outcome was considered unlikely Share buy-back or recapitalization Would not be a prudent course of action given company’s financial trajectory, lack of financial responsibility composite score cushion and tightened credit markets Private investment into the company Likely only actionable at meaningful discount to public trading levels and could also require structure that would result in further dilution to public shareholders, or would otherwise make a transaction unattractive Would not achieve benefits of private ownership

2. Transaction Rationale

Market environment has become increasingly challenging for public providers Competition is more robust than ever, fueled by non-profits with fewer regulatory restrictions and the assistance of 3rd party online enablers Non-profit competition continues to take market share from proprietary institutions, such as UOPX – from 2012–2014, non-profit schools grew distance education enrollment by 26%, compared to a decline of 10% for proprietary institutions Regulatory dynamics continue to evolve, resulting in recurring negative press and growing uncertainty Congressional reports have been highly critical of proprietary institutions, and many include recommendations to be considered by Congress that could lead to reductions in Title IV funding for the proprietary education sector Department of Education (DOE) has formed an inter-agency task force with ten federal agencies and departments to coordinate activities, share oversight and ensure accountability in the for-profit sector Pace of regulatory inquiries is not abating (and may be accelerating with upcoming election) Interagency task force includes the efforts of the Departments of Justice, Defense, Treasury, Veterans Affairs and Labor as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Federal Trade Commission, Internal Revenue Service, and Securities and Exchange Commission under the leadership of the DOE (and includes collaboration with state Attorneys General) Required disclosure of all inquiries (not findings) and even the results of actions taken to improve quality (i.e., enrollment declines, margin reductions due to quality initiatives, etc.) harm brands and, ultimately, share prices Gainful employment (“GE”) rules put pressure on a proprietary institution’s ability to comply with the 90/10 rule Attempts to lower price to enhance affordability and GE compliance increase risk of 90/10 breach Short sellers continue to monetize these negative dynamics for many providers which can drive share prices even lower Sector headwinds have resulted in significant pressure to public market share prices and valuations Since 2010, ~$25 billion of the proprietary education sector’s market cap has eroded while enrollment has declined on average by over 45% and revenue by over 50% across the sector Publicly traded companies in the sector continue to experience declines in enrollment, revenue and profitability, including the filing of bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy recapitalizations by certain companies that have left public shareholders with losses that will not be recovered (e.g. Corinthian Colleges, EDMC) Confidential Market and regulatory environment continues to evolve, imparting extrinsic challenges and uncertainty on public postsecondary education providers Significant Headwinds Facing Public Providers

Dynamic and unpredictable operating environment presents challenges that have an adverse impact on AEG’s financial performance and market valuation AEG has been subject to numerous inquiries, penalties and probations from various government agencies Department of Defense placed UOPX on probation, temporarily suspending tuition assistance for new students. After significant negative press, UOPX probation was subsequently removed, though the institution is now subject to heightened monitoring and enhanced compliance review through 2017 AEG received FTC and California Attorney General investigatory demands for information, which may take years to resolve and could result in continued pressure on share price For duration of month-to-month continuation of UOPX’s Program Participation Agreement with the DOE, pending since 2012, UOPX must obtain prior approval from DOE for any substantial changes to program structure, locations, etc. Over the last few years AEG has been required to disclose over a dozen inquiries, investigations, notices or other actions taken against the Company, regardless of the merit or outcome of these actions Disclosure can result in negative public press many times exceeding the disclosure Required disclosure and related public press and the results of AEG’s transformation plan (i.e., enrollment declines, changes in course frequency, programmatic changes to address GE, cost cuts, restructuring charges, etc.) hurt the UOPX brand and, ultimately, the share price Public disclosure and press reports impact students, faculty and employees and can make it more difficult to execute the plan as crafted In addition, sector and Company performance has created significant potential near-term credit risks Credit markets are tightening for the sector, resulting in less capital available to AEG and higher costs when the current revolving credit facility expires in April 2017, as several lenders have exited the sector completely Confidential Significant Headwinds Facing AEG

Note current outlook has been revised lower from December Forecast. Summary New Enrollment, the most transparent leading indicator, have declined more rapidly in each of the past 4 quarters There are no leading indicators which suggest a stabilization of enrollments will occur Total enrollment, revenue and EBITDA all lag new enrollment growth Due to continued enrollment and revenue declines (and despite ongoing restructuring efforts), Free Cash Flow (defined as Unadjusted EBITDA less Capex) has fallen rapidly, with the latest 2016 forecast being negative (Y-o-Y Growth % / New Enrollment in thousands) (1) (1) (1) (1) FY15A FY16A CAGR: (15%) CAGR: (12%) CAGR: (26%) ($ in millions) ($ in millions) ($ in millions)

Confidential Market, Regulatory and Other Extrinsic Factors Have Resulted in an Inability to Accurately Forecast AEG forecasts as accurately as possible, but it is extremely challenging to forecast with precision in this dynamic market, and much of this is unchartered water and is evolving real-time Competition, unexpected actions by regulators and untested operational strategy changes do not lend themselves to traditional forecasting accuracy The Company revised guidance downward every quarter in 2015 and still fell short of public guidance Notwithstanding the difficulties in forecasting the near-term, it will take several years to accomplish the long range plan and compete effectively in an increasingly competitive environment Until UOPX shows signs of stabilization and growth, upside potential in the share price is limited, even if the Company is executing on cost cuts It is difficult for public market investors to look past quarterly underperformance (i.e. take the “long view” for several years) Continued enrollment declines could put further pressure on the share price, penalizing long-term oriented shareholders Extrinsic influencers affect the ability to forecast financial results – which makes fundamental analysis less relevant and judgment more important, and imparts a greater risk profile to the long term strategy and related share appreciation potential 2015 Guidance Revisions 2016 Guidance Revisions FY 2015 Actual: Revenue: $2.57bn (lower by 9% vs beginning of the year outlook) Adj.

2016 forecast was revised downward materially 3 times during the course of the sale process (in a five month period) 2019E new enrollment and free cash flow were lowered by 29% and 38% respectively over the 5 months from July to December 2015 Projected 2019E free cash flow was lowered by over $200 million; cumulative free cash flow to 2019E was lowered by over $600 million Management’s challenges in accurately forecasting Company performance are the result of a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors (beyond management’s control), including but not limited to market, operational and regulatory risks The Company’s Forecast was Revised Downward Three Times During the Sale Process Confidential Even if management’s forecast was achieved, average enrollment at AEG’s core business UOPX would not trough until 2019E and resume growth until 2020E December forecast was subsequently revised downward during the January 2016 Q1 earnings call Significant risk remains in achieving the December forecast; risk in achieving the forecast grows each year of the forecast Cash flows may be significantly lower given ongoing restructuring and cash cost to achieve (which will grow to the extent top-line forecast is not achieved) Comparison of forecasts at 7/15/15, 9/16/15, 10/28/15, and 12/31/15 Commentary _________________________________ Note: July Forecast only up to year 2019E and September Forecast only included an update to 2016E.

Significant challenges remain to achieving management’s plan, as crafted, as a public company Transformation / stabilization will most likely take years to achieve Cutting costs / ongoing restructuring will be required – and will be difficult to keep pace with declining enrollment Regulatory environment and negative press will remain, to the further detriment of the UOPX brand Short-sellers in AEG’s stock looking to benefit from regulatory and other challenges will likely increase Composite score risk is real, and AEG may not have access to credit to resolve the risk Historically, compliance with DOE composite score has not been an issue given the strength of AEG’s balance sheet The Company’s profitability has deteriorated and the plan calls for significant restructuring and cash outflows, which all reduce earnings and balance sheet strength Intermediate-term positive profitability and cash flow are dependent on cost cuts; costs cuts are not guaranteed, and they require cash to achieve ($267.8 million cash spend since 2010) With pressure on the share price, the Company is forced, under fair value accounting, to write off goodwill through impairments, further impacting the composite score If share price goes down further, composite score could decline below 1.5, with material impact to the Company’s cash flow and liquidity Actions taken by the Company to avoid a less than 1.5 composite score could result in detrimental changes to the Company and a loss of value for shareholders The Company’s credit facility is expiring in April 2017; bank process in December 2015 (for the proposed transaction) resulted in one of the Company’s largest lenders indicating that it was exiting the sector, and numerous others in the bank group declined As the Company approached the targeted January 11, 2016 signing date, the Company learned that there was insufficient interest from potential lenders in participating in a new revolving credit facility Confidential Substantial Risk Facing AEG as a Public Company

Confidential Substantial Risk Facing AEG – Composite Score Historical Calculation Overview Factors Impacting Composite Score Composite score is supported by higher (positive) net income and by higher levels of real assets (cash, PP&E, accounts receivable, etc.) and equity A reduction in profitability (net income) directly and negatively impacts composite score A depletion of assets (e.g. cash burn) and equity (through negative net income, dividend, or share repurchase) also negatively impacts composite score Risk to 2016E Composite Score Income Before Taxes: December Forecast for 2016E includes a reduction in Unadjusted EBITDA of almost $200 million, which would result in negative net income Negative net income would result in negative net income component of composite score, relative to positive 0.71 in 2015 Further goodwill and intangibles impairment charges (resulting from decline in share price) would further reduce net income and equity Adjusted Equity and Modified Equity: to the extent net income is negative and real assets (including cash) are reduced, primary reserve and equity ratios would be reduced, further lowering composite score In addition, CPG acquisition created significant goodwill and intangible assets, which will lower adjusted equity and modified equity ratios To the extent that performance continues to deteriorate relative to December Forecast, net income and equity would both be reduced, impacting all three components of the composite score 1. 2. 2. Source: Company historical filings and Department of Education Federal Student Handbook. Calculated as Revenue less EBT. Strength factor has a minimum value of (1.0) and maximum value of 3.0. The Company faces real risk that 2016 composite score will be lower than 1.5

Composite score of less than 1.5 for 2016 would have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows and liquidity Composite score of under 1.5 would immediately trigger a default on the Company’s existing Revolving Credit Facility In addition, if composite score falls below 1.5, there are two potential outcomes: Zone (1.0 - 1.5): Heightened cash monitoring (“HCM”) Depending on HCM1 vs. HCM2 (more onerous), could result in a delay or material delay in disbursements of Title IV funding, which would meaningfully impact cash flow Could result in a letter of credit (“LC”) required to be posted with DOE Below 1.0: Would result in a LC required to be posted with DOE (10% minimum, could be up to 50% or higher) Recent LCs have been cash collateralized due to unavailability of bank financing 10% LC = approx $167 million (based on FY15 Title IV cash receipts) 25% LC = approx $418 million 50% LC = approx $835 million Provisional certification – would limit strategic changes (programmatic changes, new campuses, etc.) Could result in further impact / delay in cash funding of Title IV Between LC requirement, unavailability of bank financing and potential cash impact from delayed Title IV receipts, this could result in substantial decrease in (if not all of) the Company’s cash Confidential Substantial Risk Facing AEG – Composite Score (cont’d) Source: Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid Handbook.

Several risks to AEG’s near term liquidity exist: Negative cash flow from operations due to continued decline in enrollment The impact of one-time costs associated with the implementation of cost reduction measures taken to reduce costs in line with declining enrollment Since 2010, approximately $417.4 million in restructuring expenses and $267.8 in restructuring payments have been incurred In the event composite score is less than 1.5, DOE letter of credit may be required in order to ensure Title IV participation. Potential sizes of LC include: 10% LC = approx $167 million 25% LC = approx $418 million 50% LC = approx $835 million Cash flow may also be impacted by change in Title IV disbursement timing Risks to AEG’s liquidity grow over time to the extent enrollment continues to decline Confidential Substantial Risk Facing AEG – Liquidity Fiscal Q1'16 Net Liquidity (1) Source: Company historical filings, definitive proxy. As of November 30, 2015. Risks to AEG’s Liquidity

The Board and management team remain committed to executing the company’s long range plan and providing outstanding, career relevant higher education for working adults However, if the transaction is not approved by shareholders, AEG will continue to face headwinds that would make it difficult to achieve the transformation Management’s December Forecast does not project a stabilization of enrollment and return to growth for UOPX until 2019E-2020E, but does contain significant potential execution risk and short- to medium-term declines in financial and operating metrics (even if achieved), and will require further investment to achieve There may not be a catalyst for share price appreciation in the near-term In the end, $9.50 cash per share results in the best risk-adjusted outcome for shareholders, given the totality of circumstances While potential upside does exist, the board was objective about the risk of downside pressure – even extreme, unrecoverable downside Significant execution risk remains, given that the plan involves unproven variables to be implemented in a dynamic, competitive environment The impact of shorts, press, and regulators are outside of the Company’s control; that risk cannot be modeled, but is clearly understood While the Company hopes for perfect execution, it is entirely possible that some, but not all, of the Company’s objectives will be accomplished The board determined what is best for shareholders, given the circumstances A transaction at $9.50 may not be available later if the plan is not accomplished The board and management believe it is time to pursue the plan and face future risks in a private environment where the tangible influences will be different, and certain dynamics (like the monetizable risk of the Company’s misfortune) will be eliminated No one can predict the future, but the board and management will have captured an attractive outcome for shareholders while avoiding significant downside risk Confidential Decision to Sell AEG

Under a private structure, AEG can prioritize making investments in student outcomes, in line with initiatives for which regulators are advocating As a public company, the unpredictable operating environment makes it difficult to satisfy shareholders while continuing to provide an enhanced student experience Management’s current projections do not contain a near-term catalyst for share price appreciation UOPX average enrollment is not projected to stabilize until 2019E, with return to growth in 2020E The Global business, a potential growth area, is currently unprofitable and has significant associated execution risk Challenges to forecasting the company’s performance in this environment have resulted in numerous downward revisions historically to public guidance Public company disclosure requirements may have an effect on how enrollment and retention levels are impacted by the execution of the long range plan No significant visibility into the longer-term effects of rapid cost cuts to keep up with declining enrollment If the deal is voted down, the Class A / B share structure will still be in place Class B common stock is the only class of voting stock Class A common stock has no right to vote on any matter (including the election of directors, or the approval of acquisitions or divestitures), except in matters such as this proposed cash merger where a special class vote is required by the Arizona corporation code This transaction offers the best risk-adjusted value and is a compelling outcome for AEG, shareholders and students; we urge you to vote in favor of the transaction Confidential Vote FOR Today Private ownership provides long-term benefits for which shareholders will be compensated now Decision to Sell AEG (cont’d)
