Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On January 3, 2011, Strayer Education, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an unsecured new Revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”). The maximum amount of borrowings available under the Credit Facility is $100.0 million, including a letter of credit subfacility of $50.0 million. The Credit Facility matures in three years.
     Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR or a base rate plus 1.75%, although higher margins up to 2.25% may apply based on the Company’s then ratio of consolidated total debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). Unused portions of the Credit Facility carry an annual availability fee of 30 basis points, which may increase to 40 basis points based on the Company’s then ratio of consolidated total debt to EBITDA. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants, representations, warranties, events of default and remedies upon default including acceleration, and borrowing conditions.
     The lenders under the Credit Facility are SunTrust Bank and Bank of America, with SunTrust Bank serving as administrative agent and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey as lead arranger. The new Credit Facility replaces the Company’s existing $15.0 million Revolving Credit Facility with Bank of America.
     A copy of the Facility is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Credit Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
Item 2.03 Creation of Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
