On May 23, 2011, DeVry Inc. (“DeVry”) issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors (the “Board) had declared a semi-annual dividend on DeVry’s common stock of $0.12 per share, payable on July 12, 2011, to common stockholders of record as of June 20, 2011. The policy of the Board is that any payment of dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent on the earnings and financial requirements of DeVry and other factors as the Board deems relevant.  

In addition, DeVry announced the Board authorized a sixth share repurchase program, which allows DeVry to buy back up to $100 million of its common stock through June 30, 2013. This new repurchase program is to commence upon completion of the existing $50 million program. The timing and amount of any repurchase will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open market, including block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The buyback will be funded through available cash balances and/or borrowings, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.  

The full text of this press release is included in Exhibit 99.1 in this Form 8-K.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Form 8-K and related press release, including those that affect DeVry’s expectations or plans, may constitute forward-looking statements subject to the Safe Harbor Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as DeVry Inc. or its management “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “foresees,” “intends,” “plans” or other words or phrases of similar import.

Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause DeVry’s actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied by these forward-looking statements.  Additional information regarding factors that could cause results to differ can be found in DeVry’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2010, December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011.

These forward-looking statements are based on information as of May 23, 2011, and DeVry assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized.
