Item 5.08.    Shareholder Director Nominations.

To the extent applicable, the information in Item 8.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.08.

Item 8.01.    Other Events.

The Board of Directors of ITT Educational Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) has established December 30, 2014 as the date of the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2014 Annual Meeting”). Shareholders of record at the close of business on November 21, 2014 will be entitled to vote at the 2014 Annual Meeting. The time and location of the 2014 Annual Meeting will be as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting.
 
 
Because the date of the 2014 Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, a new deadline has been set for submission of proposals by shareholders intended to be included in the Company’s 2014 proxy statement and form of proxy. Shareholders of the Company who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2014 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must ensure that such proposal is received by the Company’s Secretary, Ryan L. Roney, at 13000 N. Meridian Street, Carmel, Indiana 46032 on or before the close of business on November 3, 2014, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials. Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2014 Annual Meeting.  The November 3, 2014 deadline will also apply in determining whether notice of a shareholder proposal is timely for purposes of exercising discretionary voting authority with respect to proxies under Rule 14a-4(c) of the Exchange Act.

In addition, in accordance with the requirements contained in the Company’s By-Laws, shareholders who wish to bring business before the 2014 Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act or to nominate a person for election as a director must ensure that written notice of such proposal (including all of the information specified in the Company’s By-Laws) is received by the Company’s Secretary, Ryan L. Roney, at the address specified above no later than the close of business on November 3, 2014.  Any such proposal must meet the requirements set forth in the Company’s By-Laws in order to be brought before the 2014 Annual Meeting.
