LAUREATE EDUCATION INC

We have adopted a code of conduct and ethics (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of our employees, directors, officers, and full- and part-time employees and faculty. Our Code of Conduct and related policies outline requirements related to our ethical standards, conflicts of interest, employee trading activities, whistleblowing responsibilities and protections, anti-bribery and corruption controls, privacy, data security, and sanctions and trade control laws. We perform ongoing training and awareness activities to ensure these policies and requirements are well understood across the organization. This includes mandatory ethics and compliance training and certifications for all employees and onboarding sessions held with new hires.

We encourage our employees, faculty members, students and others to ask questions or raise concerns related to our Code of Conduct, potential violations or other ethics or compliance issues. We have a zero tolerance, non-retaliation policy. Our 24-hour reporting hotline is administered through a third-party to offer anonymity to anyone reporting such issues. Information about our whistleblower policy and practices are included in the Code of Conduct. All reports, which are reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee each quarter, are investigated promptly, thoroughly and fairly, and appropriate action is taken whenever necessary.

The Code of Conduct is available on our website at http://investors.laureate.net under “Leadership & Governance.” If we ever were to amend or waive any provision of the Code of Conduct that applies to our

2025 Proxy Statement 9 principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or any person performing similar functions, we intend to satisfy our disclosure obligations, if any, under applicable SEC rules with respect to any such waiver or amendment by posting such information on our website at http://investors.laureate.net rather than by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K.
