Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K may include certain disclosures which contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans or intentions. Forward‑looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements, which are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC and other filings made with the SEC.

Item 2.02    Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 2, 2023, Laureate Education, Inc. (the “Company”) issued an earnings release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. A copy of the earnings release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated in this Item 2.02 by reference.

Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 2, 2023, the Company made available on the investor relations section of its website its third quarter of 2023 Earnings Presentation (the “Presentation”). A copy of the Presentation is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated in this Item 7.01 by reference.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 2, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the payment of a special cash dividend (the “Dividend”) equal to $0.70 per each share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.004 per share, to each holder of record on November 15, 2023. The Dividend is scheduled to be paid on November 30, 2023. Based on the current number of shares outstanding, the aggregate amount of the Dividend is expected to be approximately $110 million.

The Company expects that the entire amount of the Dividend will be in excess of its current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and therefore will be treated as a taxable dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. All holders of Company common stock should consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the Dividend, including the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S. and other tax laws.

In connection with the Dividend, the Board approved certain required adjustments under the Company’s equity award compensation plans. Subject to the payment of the Dividend, the exercise price of the Company’s options will be reduced by $0.70 per share, and holders of restricted and performance stock units will receive an amount in cash equal to $0.70 per unvested stock unit held payable when such unit vests. If all outstanding stock units vest, the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of the units will be approximately $700,000.

On November 2, 2023, the Company issued an earnings release announcing the Dividend. A copy of the earnings release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 8.01     Other Events.

As announced on September 14, 2022, Laureate Education, Inc. (the “Company”) approved, pursuant to the previously announced adoption of a plan of partial liquidation (the “Plan”) related to the distribution of net proceeds from the Company’s sale of Walden e-Learning LLC (the “Sale”), the payment of a special cash distribution (the “October Distribution”) equal to $0.83 per each share of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.004 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), to each holder of record on September 28, 2022. The October Distribution was paid on October 12, 2022 in the amount of approximately $136.6 million.

As announced on October 24, 2022, the Company approved the payment of a special cash dividend (the “November Dividend”) equal to $0.68 per each share of the Company Common Stock to each holder of record on November 4, 2022. The November Dividend was paid on November 17, 2022 in the amount of approximately $112 million.

The Company has determined information relevant to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the October Distribution and the November Dividend. The Company is providing the below information to supplement and update the Forms 8-K filed on September 14, 2022, October 11, 2022 and October 24, 2022. Shareholders should consult such Forms 8-K regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the October Distribution and the November Dividend.

Tax Information Relevant to the October Distribution

The Company has determined that approximately $130 million of the October Distribution (or $0.79 per share) is attributable to net proceeds from the Sale. Accordingly, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, each holder of Company Common Stock that is not a corporation may treat $0.79 of the October Distribution per share as a liquidating distribution and $0.04 of the October Distribution per share as a distribution with respect to, rather than in exchange for, stock. (For this purpose, any stock
