\n NEW YORK<\/span>, Jan. 21, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Engine Capital LP (together with its affiliates, “Engine”) and Hawk Ridge Capital Management LP (together with its affiliates, “Hawk Ridge”), significant stockholders of Adtalem Global Education, Inc. (“Adtalem” or the “Company”) (NYSE:ATGE) with an aggregate ownership of approximately 3.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares, today issued an open letter to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). <\/p>\n

In the letter, Engine and Hawk Ridge expressed their serious concerns with the disappointing investor returns at Adtalem, which have lagged those of its self-selected peers for years.\u00a0 Engine and Hawk Ridge attributed the Company’s stock price underperformance to a number of reasons including (i) subpar operational performance in an otherwise favorable business climate, (ii) poor capital allocation practices, (iii) the need for operational reorganization and personnel rightsizing, (iv) an unnecessary conglomerate\u00a0 structure, and lastly, (v) a lack of operational and industry experience among members of the Board and management, which may be a contributing factor to each of the aforementioned issues.<\/p>\n

The letter concludes with Engine and Hawk Ridge’s outline of a series of actions readily within the control of Adtalem’s senior management and the Board to address these issues and create stockholder value, referred to in the letter as the “2022 Adtalem Plan.”<\/p>\n
