-- Company to Enhance Infrastructure, Accelerate R&D Activities --

Greenwood Hall, Inc. (OTCBB: ELRN), provider of dynamic student lifecycle solutions for colleges and universities, today announced that it has completed an $8 million recapitalization to help the company accelerate its expansion in the higher education sector.

The recapitalization includes a combination of both equity investment and debt refinancing. In addition to enhancing the company’s infrastructure, the Company also is introducing new technologies that will provide schools with unique visibility and analytics, aimed at both attracting and retaining students.

“Greenwood Hall has built a strong reputation helping schools enter new markets and enhance student success,” said Dr. John Hall, Greenwood Hall’s Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder. “We have been able to grow and establish a leadership position, and the recapitalization will provide us with the tools necessary to further expand the Company’s services.

“When one takes into account the Company’s new technology platform, Greenwood Hall is well positioned to provide schools with enduring student lifecycle solutions that solve real challenges in higher education,” Dr. Hall said. “We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and the ability to help more schools thrive in a rapidly evolving higher education marketplace.”

As the education technology industry grows, Greenwood Hall’s solutions have supported more than 450,000 students, who have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in tuition primarily at private, not-for-profit and public institutions.

“Unlike other options that may just include educational technology, consulting, or offerings that impact only segments of the student lifecycle, Greenwood Hall solutions are holistic in nature – addressing the entire student lifecycle and providing schools with great tools, as well as personalized services for students,” said Dr. Hall. “With more than two-thirds of university CFOs saying that higher education is facing a financial crisis, Greenwood Hall is uniquely positioned to continue to help schools improve efficiencies and deliver better outcomes to students.”
