Los Angeles, Dec. 29 – American Public Education, Inc. intends to repay about $65 million of the outstanding principal balance of the term loans under its credit agreement dated Sept. 1, 2021 with Macquarie Capital Funding LLC as administrative agent and collateral agent and Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. and Truist Securities, Inc. as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
