On March 30, 2016, John F. Cozzi advised ITT Educational Services, Inc. (the “Company”) that he will not stand for re-election as a director at the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on May 17, 2016, at which time Mr. Cozzi’s term as a director will expire. Mr. Cozzi has served as a director of the Company since 2003.
Mr. Cozzi’s decision not to stand for re-election was not the result of any disagreement with the Company, its management or the Board of Directors. Instead, Mr. Cozzi made his decision due to his time management commitments to other organizations, including his role as Partner of AEA Investments LP and service on other boards. “I am proud of my work and time with the Company,” Mr. Cozzi stated. “While it is undoubtedly true that the proprietary, post-secondary educational sector is under unprecedented pressure, the Company has accomplished a great deal in weathering the storm while putting the interests of the institutions’ students first,” he continued. “As the increasing demands of my professional and volunteer commitments have risen sharply, it is with reluctance that I must step back. I know, however, that I am leaving the Company under outstanding leadership that, above all, focuses on quality, compliance and customer satisfaction,” Mr. Cozzi noted.
