Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On October 10, 2013, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (the “Company,” “Corinthian,” “we,” “us” or other similar terms) was notified of a civil complaint filed against the Company and several of its subsidiaries by the California Attorney General’s Office (the “CA AG”).  As previously disclosed, we have been cooperating with an investigation initiated by the CA AG in December 2012, more than nine months ago.  The Company was disappointed that it was not given advance notice of the complaint, and did not have the opportunity to discuss the allegations in the complaint with the CA AG before the complaint was filed.

 

The Company is committed to regulatory compliance and has robust processes in place to correctly record and disclose the job placement information we receive from our graduates and their employers.  The Company is proud of the career and technical education that our 15,000 employees provide to more than 80,000 students in the United States and Canada.  The Company expects to vigorously defend against this complaint.
