Increase in Share Repurchase Program

Laureate today announced that its board of directors approved a$150 million increase to its existing stock repurchase program, from $250 million to $400 million, to acquire shares of the Company's common stock. After giving effect to this new authorization and taking into account the $219 million of cumulative repurchases through December 31, 2025, the Company may repurchase up to approximately $181 million of its common stock under its stock repurchase program, which has no fixed expiration date. The Company intends to finance the repurchases with free cash flow, excess cash and liquidity on-hand, including available capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility. The Company’s proposed repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Repurchases may be effected pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The Company’s board of directors will review the share repurchase program periodically and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size or suspend or discontinue the program.
