EXPLANATORY NOTE

This amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K of Strategic Education, Inc. (“SEI”) filed on July 29, 2020 (the “Original Report”) is being filed for the sole purpose of filing the sale and purchase agreement, dated July 29, 2020, described in the Original Report (the “Purchase Agreement”) as an exhibit. Capitalized terms used in this amendment which are undefined have the meanings set forth in the Original Report.

The description of the Purchase Agreement in the Original Report does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1. The Purchase Agreement is being filed to provide SEI’s stockholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other information about SEI, Laureate, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates or the Business. The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of the parties thereto. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the Purchase Agreement and (i) may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts, (ii) may have been qualified in the Purchase Agreement by confidential disclosure schedules that were delivered to the other parties in connection with the signing of the Purchase Agreement, which disclosure schedules may contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement, (iii) may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality applicable to the parties that differs from what a stockholder may view as material and (iv) may have been made only as of the date of the Purchase Agreement or as of another date or dates as may be specified in the Purchase Agreement, and information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in SEI’s public disclosures, if at all. Accordingly, stockholders should not rely upon representations and warranties or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of SEI or Laureate or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates.
