Acquisition Enhances LRN’s Position as the Leading Global Provider of Ethics and Compliance Solutions

Combined Organization Will Help More Companies Build Effective Compliance Programs and Create Ethically Aware and Inspired Workforces

NEW YORK (September 9, 2020) – Ethics and compliance education and technology company LRN Corporation announced today the acquisition of Interactive Services, the Dublin, Ireland-based global compliance and online learning firm. The combined organization will help more companies build and implement effective compliance programs and foster values-based and ethical cultures and workforces at a time when those imperatives are more urgent than ever.

As part of a significant investment in LRN in 2018 by Leeds Equity Partners, LRN and Leeds committed to expanding the company’s reach and scale to advance their shared objective to help more companies elevate behavior, reduce risks and create sustainable competitive advantages. The Interactive Services transaction represents a strategic combination that accelerates the combined company’s investments in people, innovation and technology.

Together, LRN and Interactive Services will be positioned to provide even greater ethics and compliance offerings across education, technology, advisory services and analytics to further enable companies to navigate the complex legal, compliance, regulatory and operating environments across the globe.

“We are in a time of increasing focus and scrutiny on corporate and individual conduct, accelerated by the global pandemic and an intensifying awareness of societal inequalities,” said Dov Seidman, LRN Founder and Chairman. “In response, companies throughout the world are urgently re-imagining the workplace, redefining leadership and seeking to build cultures that are genuinely aligned and inclusive. This, in turn, requires meaningful education, communication, codes of conduct, adaptive learning environments and other tools that inspire employees, put ethics and compliance at the heart of corporate operations and guide the right kind of principled and profitable behavior – from front-line employees and managers to the C-suite and boards of directors. As expectations of companies and their leaders rise from society and employees alike, the winners will be those who most effectively operationalize the understanding that values drive behavior and behavior drives performance,” added Seidman.

The combination of LRN with Interactive Services enriches LRN’s offerings by expanding its vast SaaS-based education and technology platform, which includes hundreds of courses and educational products and provides LRN with additional delivery and analytics capabilities to improve employee learning and ensure corporate compliance. The transaction further extends LRN’s presence outside of North America and broadens its custom content capabilities in ethics and compliance and many other corporate functions.

“LRN has for more than 25 years helped define and shape the ethics and compliance space. Given Interactive’s long commitment to improving talent and performance in the workplace through creative design, we are extremely excited to be joining LRN, to embrace LRN’s mission of inspiring principled performance and to add to LRN’s deep array of offerings – and we believe the business world, and society, will be the better for it,” said Matt Plass, CEO of Interactive Services.

Jeffrey T. Leeds, Managing Partner at Leeds Equity, said, “Strong leaders recognize that compliance with rules and regulations is about far more than ‘checking the box.’ An authentic commitment to the highest standards in ethics and compliance not only reduces risk – which can increasingly be catastrophic – but also creates a better workplace, which leads, in turn, to better work. With this acquisition of Interactive Services, LRN enhances its stature as the leading provider of the most effective ethics and compliance education and learning resources for companies throughout the world.”
