The company's cash is therefore tied up as collateral, though GCU has agreed to indemnify the company for claims arising from the pledges, except for losses finally determined by a court to result from the company's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Two loans totaling $500.0 million were made to GCU on October 1, 2024: $250.0 million from MidFirst Bank and $250.0 million from Zions Bancorporation's National Bank of Arizona (NBAZ).

The pledges end when GCU repays at least $100.0 million of the MidFirst loan, or when the NBAZ loan is paid in full, or when GCU substitutes $100.0 million of cash collateral.
