Excuse my ignorance, but how did they get a .edu?

One of our subsidaries registered it before 2001, when there were no restrictions.

It was almost certainly registered before they tightened the restrictions on registration, and the current owners bought it from them.

my guess is that they purchased a grandfathered in .edu .
