Assuming all other assumptions remained constant, the discount rate for Adtalem Brazil would have to increase to 15% for the calculated fair value to equal carrying value of this reporting unit at May 31, 2019. Similarly, holding all other assumptions constant, the terminal growth rate would have to decrease to 1% for the calculated fair value to equal carrying value of Adtalem Brazil at May 31, 2019.
