On February 28, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), Adam L. Cohn was appointed to the Board of Directors (the "Board") of K12 Inc. (the "Company"). There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Cohn and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Cohn was appointed a Director of the Company. Mr. Cohn will serve as a director of the Company until the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company and until his successor is elected and qualified or until his death, retirement, resignation or removal.

Mr. Cohn will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy in effect from time to time.  Based on the Company’s current policy, Mr. Cohn will receive an annual award of restricted stock equivalent to $60,000 (prorated for the period between the Effective Date and December 31, 2013, based on the number of days in such period divided by 365).  Mr. Cohn will also receive, on a prorated basis, an annual cash retainer of $40,000, paid in quarterly installments at the end of each quarter. In addition, Mr. Cohn will receive $1,500 per Board meeting.
