- F2Pursuant 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.
- F3Represents an option with respect to 45,843 shares of Class B Common Stock (the "Shares") issued to Mr. Becker pursuant to Mr. Becker's Stock Option Agreement, dated October 2, 2013 (the "Stock Option Agreement"), that vested on March 30, 2018 following determination by the Compensation Committee of Laureate's Board of Directors of Laureate's achievement of the applicable performance conditions. In light of the Founders' Agreement, Mr. Hoehn-Saric may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own a portion of such option. Each of Messrs. Becker and Taslitz, who also may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own a portion of such option, has made a separate Form 4 filing with respect to the vesting of this option with respect to the Shares.
- F4Represents the aggregate number of shares of Class B Common Stock underlying vested options awarded pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement (including time-based and performance-based options).

In light of the Founders' Agreement, Mr. Hoehn-Saric may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own a portion of the shares of Class B Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the PSUs.

Becker and Taslitz, who also may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own a portion of the shares of Class B Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the PSUs, has made a separate Form 4 filing with respect to the issuance of such shares of Class B Common Stock.
