("Laureate") to Class A Common Stock of Laureate ("Class A Common Stock"). Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock upon the election of the holder or upon transfer, subject to the terms of Laureate's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Pursuant to an agreement (the "Founders' Agreement") among Douglas L. Becker, Steven M. Taslitz, R. Christopher Hoehn-Saric and one other founder of Sterling (the "Sterling Founders"), the Sterling Founders share equally, on a net after-tax basis, in certain equity securities they receive in connection with services rendered by any of them to certain entities, including Laureate. Each Sterling Founder controls the voting and disposition of the securities allocable to such Sterling Founder. In light of the Founders' Agreement, each of Messrs. Becker and Taslitz may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own a portion of the options, the shares of Class B Common Stock of Laureate issued upon exercise thereof (as well as the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) and has made a separate Form 4 filing with respect thereto. The sales reported on this Form 4 were effected for purposes of funding the payment of the exercise price, and satisfaction of tax withholding obligations, in connection with the exercise of options expiring on December 31, 2019, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by Mr. Becker on September 13, 2019. The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. The shares were sold in multiple transactions on December 30, 2019 at prices ranging from $17.195 to $17.805, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to Laureate, any security holder of Laureate or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the range set forth in this footnote.

The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein, except to the extent of the reporting person's pecuniary interest therein. The inclusion of these securities in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership by the reporting person of any securities reported herein for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise. The Reporting Person may be deemed to be a director by deputization for purposes of Section 16 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by virtue of the fact that Mr. Taslitz currently serves on the board of directors of Laureate. /s/ M.
