What the filing says
Perdoceo Education Corporation agreed to acquire 100% of South University Savannah LLC from South University – Member, Inc. for a base amount of $150M plus $18M deferred consideration (contingent on student receivables collections) plus up to $56M in earn-out payments tied to EBITDA thresholds ($20M, $40M, $105M cumulative) over 2027–2029. The deal is structured with earn-out payments potentially accelerating if Buyer sells the Company. Closing contemplated for April 1, 2027 (Reference Date).
Why this rating
Meaningful acquisition at ~12% of Perdoceo's $1.8B market cap. Material deal with earnout upside, but conditional on EBITDA performance and regulatory (Title IV) approvals—meaningful but not transformational relative to company size.
