PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed by DeVry Inc. (the Registrant) are incorporated herein by
reference:
|
(a) |
|
The Registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2010; |
|
|
(b) |
|
All other reports of the Registrant filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, since the end of fiscal 2010; and |
|
|
(c) |
|
The description of the Registrants Common Stock contained in the Registrants
Registration Statement on Form 8-A dated April 22, 1991, as amended, and as further
updated in the Registrants Report on Form 10-K filed on September 27, 1991. |
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant or the Plan pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters
all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to
be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable with respect to the Registrants Common Stock.
With respect to the Deferred Compensation Obligations, the Deferred Compensation Plan provides
a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Registrant and its affiliates,
and non-employee directors of the Registrant, with an opportunity to defer a portion of their
compensation (including base salary, bonus and director fees) on a pre-tax basis. The Registrant
will credit matching contributions to participants accounts under the Plan to the extent they have
elected to defer the maximum amount under the Registrants Profit Sharing Retirement Plan and their
matching contributions to that plan are limited by applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions.
The Registrant may also credit discretionary contributions to participants accounts under the
Plan. The amount of compensation deferred under the Plan is based on elections by each Plan
participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Registrant contributions, and the
earnings or losses thereon. The obligation of the Registrant to pay such deferred compensation
(the Obligations) will become due as pre-designated by each Plan participant or upon termination
or service of employment or service in the form and on the date or dates determined in accordance
with the terms of the Plan.
Amounts deferred under the Plan will be credited with investment returns based on investment
alternatives chosen by each Plan participant, and the amount of the Obligations payable to each
Plan participant will reflect the investment returns of the chosen investment alternatives.
However, the Plan
participants will have no ownership interest in any of the investment alternatives. Each Plan
participant is an unsecured general creditor of the Registrant with respect to his or her own
interest in the Plan. Benefits are payable solely from the general funds of the Registrant.
The Obligations cannot be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Plan
participants, except that each Plan participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive
benefits upon his or her death. The Registrant reserves the right to amend or partially or
completely terminate the Plan, provided that such amendment or termination does not result in any
reduction of a Plan participants account balance as of the date of such amendment or termination.
The total amount of Obligations being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement is
$20,000,000.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
(a) The Delaware GCL (Section 145) gives Delaware corporations broad powers to indemnify their
present and former directors and officers and those of affiliated corporations against expenses
incurred in the defense of any lawsuit to which they are made parties by reason of being or having
been such directors or officers, subject to specified conditions and exclusions, gives a director
or officer who successfully defends an action the right to be so indemnified, and authorizes the
Registrant to buy directors and officers liability insurance. Such indemnification is not
exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any by-laws,
agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise.
(b) Article TENTH of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant permits, and
Article VI of the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Registrant provides for, indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(c) In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware GCL, the Registrants Restated
Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors shall not be personally liable for monetary
damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors except for (1) breaches of their duty of
loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, (3) under Section 174 of the Delaware
GCL (unlawful payment of dividends) or (4) transactions from which a director derives an improper
personal benefit.
(d) The Registrant enters into an Indemnification Agreement with each of its Directors which
provides for the indemnification of the Directors in a variety of circumstances.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The exhibits filed herewith or incorporated by reference herein are set forth in the Exhibit
Index filed as part of this Registration Statement.
Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of the Plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that
is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
