Fellow Shareholders,

Fiscal 2025 stands as both a **proof point** and an **inflection point** for Adtalem—validating our thesis while positioning us for our next phase of growth as a vital component of healthcare infrastructure.

**A Proof Point: Operational Excellence Drives Value Creation**

This year proved the transformative power of our Growth with Purpose strategy. Our integrated operating model delivered exceptional results that validated operational excellence as our primary vehicle for sustainable value creation.

The numbers speak for themselves: revenue of $1.79 billion representing 12.9% growth that more than doubled our 2023 investor day targets. Adjusted earnings per share of $6.67 grew 33.1%. Total enrollment surpassed 91,000 students with over 10% average quarterly growth. We graduated 29,000 students—90% into healthcare professions—who now serve in underserved rural communities and urban centers nationwide.

Each institution validated our strategy: Chamberlain University achieved its tenth consecutive quarter of growth, reaching a record 40,000+ students. Walden University delivered eight consecutive quarters of accelerating growth, surpassing 48,000 students and pre-pandemic levels. Our Medical and Veterinary segment maintained excellence with over 5,000 enrolled students.

This performance proves that accessible, career-focused healthcare education, delivered through modern programs and tech-enabled learning, creates a virtuous cycle of student success, employer satisfaction and investor returns.

**An Inflection Point: Expanding Our Role in Critical Healthcare Infrastructure**

Our sustained execution has earned us the right to seek a larger and more visible role in America's critical healthcare infrastructure. At a time when the U.S. faces acute workforce shortages across all healthcare professions, we aspire to become the systemically important, highly integrated partner that healthcare employers and policymakers increasingly rely on to build their talent pipeline.

Our 350,000+ alumni, 91,000+ current students and 10,000+ colleagues represent more than an educational institution; we are essential infrastructure for healthcare delivery. Our graduates serve in critical roles that keep communities healthy; from nurses providing essential care in small-town clinics to emergency specialists responding to life-threatening situations in metropolitan hospitals.

This positioning reflects both our scale and our responsibility. We are not merely participants in healthcare education; we are positioned to play an increasingly vital role in ensuring America's healthcare system has the skilled professionals it needs to function effectively.

**The Higher Education Context: Leading Innovation When It Matters Most**

At a time when higher education faces important questions about accessibility, career relevance and value, our mission of democratizing education has never been more important. We are proud to complement the broader higher education ecosystem by innovating the student journey and expanding access to clinical and healthcare careers for learners who might not otherwise have these opportunities.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Our focus on accessible, flexible, career-focused education fills critical gaps in the educational landscape. We serve working adults, career changers and first-generation college students who need different pathways to meaningful careers. Through technology-enabled learning and competency-based programs, we are innovating how education is delivered and making quality healthcare education more accessible to diverse communities.

Our graduates enter essential roles with clear career pathways and immediate impact in their communities. Healthcare employers increasingly rely on us to meet critical staffing needs across underserved markets. Our regulators and accreditors recognize us as a partner in ensuring both educational quality and healthcare workforce development.

This positions us as an innovator in educational delivery: we are demonstrating how to democratize access to high-demand careers while maintaining rigorous standards and outstanding outcomes.

**Creating Sustained Value for All Stakeholders**

This success creates expanding opportunities. For our investors, we continue deploying capital to high-return growth opportunities while returning excess capital to shareholders. For our students, we provide accessible pathways to meaningful healthcare careers. For our colleagues, we offer the opportunity to serve a mission that transforms lives and communities. For healthcare employers, we deliver the skilled workforce they desperately need. For policymakers and communities, we address critical infrastructure needs that government alone cannot solve.

Our commitment remains unwavering: delivering outstanding student outcomes at scale while building the healthcare workforce America needs. We are not just growing a business—we are strengthening the foundation of our nation's healthcare system.

Thank you for your continued confidence in our purpose and our execution.

Sincerely,

![Graphic](atge-20251112xdef14a_a016.jpg)

#### PROPOSAL NO. 1

## Election of Directors
The Board has nominated each of Adtalem's ten incumbent directors and recommends their re-election, each for a term to expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting. All of the nominees have consented to serve as directors if elected at the Annual Meeting.

It is intended that all shares represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be voted for the election of each of Stephen W. Beard, William W. Burke, Donna J. Hrinak, Georgette Kiser, Liam Krehbiel, Michael W. Malafronte, Sharon L. O'Keefe, Kenneth J. Phelan, Betty Vandenbosch, and Lisa W. Wardell as directors unless otherwise specified in such proxy. A proxy cannot be voted for more than ten persons. If a nominee becomes unable to serve as a director, the proxy committee (appointed by the Board) will vote for the substitute nominee that the Board designates. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will become unavailable for election.

Each nominee for election as a director is listed below, along with a brief statement of his or her current or most recent principal occupation, business experience, and other information, including directorships in other public companies held as of the date of this Proxy Statement or within the previous five years. Under the heading "Reasons for Nomination," we describe briefly the particular experience, qualifications, attributes, or skills that led to the conclusion that these nominees should serve on the Board. As explained below under the heading "Director Nominating Process," the Nominating & Governance Committee evaluates the Board holistically to ensure it is constituted with a balance of competencies and professional experiences to promote effective governance.

#### APPROVAL BY SHAREHOLDERS
You have the option to vote **FOR, AGAINST** or **ABSTAIN** with respect to the election of each director nominee. The election of each of the ten nominees for director listed below requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock of Adtalem represented at the Annual Meeting. Adtalem maintains a majority voting standard for uncontested elections (when the number of nominees is the same as the number of directors to be elected), so for a nominee to be elected as a member of the Board, the nominee must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock of Adtalem represented at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, if any, will be counted as votes AGAINST each director nominee, and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes represented and entitled to vote and, therefore, will have no effect on the results of the vote for this proposal. See VOTING INFORMATION – Effect of Not Casting Your Vote. Shareholders may not cumulate their votes in the election of directors. If a nominee for re-election fails to receive the requisite majority vote when the election is uncontested, such director must promptly tender his or her resignation to Adtalem's Chairman or Adtalem's General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, subject to acceptance by the Board.

Unless otherwise indicated on the proxy, the shares will be voted **FOR** each of the nominees identified below.

**Proposal No. 1 Election of Directors**

#### DIRECTOR NOMINATING PROCESS
The Nominating & Governance Committee is responsible for making recommendations of nominees for directors to the Board. The Nominating & Governance Committee's goal is to put before our shareholders candidates who, with the incumbent directors, will constitute a board that will provide effective oversight for Adtalem's growing, complex, and global educational operations and reflect the broad spectrum of students that Adtalem serves. The Nominating & Governance Committee seeks a broad cross-section of thought, competencies, experience, and other criteria in candidates. To this end, Adtalem's Governance Principles provide that nominees are to be selected on the basis of, among other things, knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, personal and professional integrity, business judgment, time availability in light of other commitments, absence of conflicts of interest, and such other relevant factors that the Nominating & Governance Committee considers appropriate in the context of the interests of Adtalem, its Board, and its shareholders.

The Nominating & Governance Committee implements this annual nomination process by evaluating each prospective director nominee as well as each incumbent director on the criteria described above both independently, and in the context of the composition of the full Board, to determine whether he or she should be nominated to stand for election or re-election. In screening director nominees, the Nominating & Governance Committee conducts a careful review of potential conflicts of interest, including interlocking directorships and substantial business, civic, and social relationships with other members of the Board that could impair the prospective nominee's ability to act independently.

Identification and Consideration of New Nominees

The Nominating & Governance Committee has retained the services of Spencer Stuart, an international executive search firm, to help identify and determine which to recommend to the Board. For each vacancy, the Nominating & Governance Committee develops a specific set of ideal criteria for the vacant director position. The Nominating & Governance Committee evaluates director candidates that it has identified and any identified by shareholders on an equal basis using these criteria and the general considerations identified above.

Shareholder Nominations; Proxy Solicitation by Shareholders

The Nominating & Governance Committee will not only consider nominees that it identifies, but will consider nominees submitted by shareholders in accordance with the advance notice process for shareholder nominations identified in the By-Laws. In order to be considered under this process, all shareholder nominees must be submitted in writing to the attention of Adtalem's General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, 233 South Wacker Drive, Suite 800, Chicago, IL 60606, not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days prior to the anniversary of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders. As a result, in order to be considered as a nominee at our 2026 annual meeting, a shareholder nomination must be submitted by 5:00 pm Central Daylight Time no later than July 15, 2026 and no earlier than June 15, 2026. Such shareholder's notice shall be signed by the shareholder of record who intends to make the nomination (or his duly authorized proxy) and shall also include, among other things, the following information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● the name and address, as they appear on Adtalem's books, of such shareholder and the beneficial owner or owners, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● the number of shares of Adtalem's Common Stock which are beneficially owned by such shareholder or beneficial owner or owners;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● a representation that such shareholder is a holder of record entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to make the nomination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● the name, age, business address and residence address of the person or persons to be nominated;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● a description of all arrangements or understandings between such shareholder or beneficial owner or owners and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination is to be made by such shareholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for elections of directors, or would otherwise be required to be disclosed, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including any information that would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to Regulation 14A had the nominee been nominated by the Board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● the written consent of each nominee to be named in a proxy statement and to serve as a director if so elected.

In addition, any shareholder who intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, in order to comply with the SEC's universal proxy rules, must provide notice of such intention no later than July 15, 2026 and no earlier than June 15, 2026 to our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary (at the same address previously set forth) and provide all other information required by Exchange Act Rule 14a-19. No director nominations were proposed for the 2025 Annual Meeting by any shareholder.

In addition to candidates submitted through the advance notice By-Law process for shareholder nominations described above, shareholders may also request that a director nominee be included in Adtalem's proxy materials in accordance with the proxy access provision in the By-Laws. Any shareholder or group of up to 20 shareholders holding both investment and voting rights to at least 3% of Adtalem's outstanding Common Stock continuously for at least three years may nominate the greater of (i) two or (ii) 20% of the Adtalem directors to be elected at an annual meeting of shareholders. Such requests must be received not less than 120 days and no more than 150 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders. As a result, any notice given by or on behalf of a shareholder pursuant to these provisions of the By-Laws must be received no earlier than June 15, 2026 and no later than July 15, 2026. However, if we hold our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders more than 30 days from the first anniversary of this year's Annual Meeting, then in order for notice by the shareholder to be timely, such notice must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever occurs first.

In addition to candidates submitted through the By-Laws process for shareholder nominations, shareholders may also recommend candidates by following the procedures set forth below under the caption "Communications with Directors."

**Proposal No. 1 Election of Directors**

Director Independence

The Board annually reviews the continuing independence of Adtalem's non-employee directors under applicable laws and rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The Board, excluding any director who is the subject of an evaluation, reviews and evaluates director transactions or relationships with Adtalem, including the results of any investigation, and makes a determination with respect to whether a conflict or violation exists or will exist or whether a director's independence is or would be impaired.

The Board has considered whether each director has any material relationship with Adtalem (either directly or as a partner, shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with Adtalem) and has otherwise complied with the requirements for independence under the applicable listing standards of the NYSE.

As a result of this review, the Board affirmatively determined that, with the exception of Mr. Beard and Ms. Wardell, all of Adtalem's current directors, and all director nominees, are "independent" of Adtalem and its management within the meaning of the applicable NYSE rules. Mr. Beard is considered an inside director because of his employment as Chairman and CEO of Adtalem. Ms. Wardell is considered an inside director because of her previous employment as Chairman and CEO of Adtalem.

**Proposal No. 1 Election of Directors**

Board Leadership Structure

Our Governance Principles reflect the Board's belief that it should have the latitude to select the Chairman of the Board and the CEO in the way that the Board deems in the best interest of Adtalem and its shareholders. To ensure continued Board independence, the Board has adopted a policy that, in the event the Chairman of the Board and CEO roles are combined, or the Chairman of the Board is not otherwise independent, the Board shall appoint a Lead Independent Director. In November 2024, the Board elected Mr. Beard, who has served as our president and Chief Executive Officer and on our Board since September 2021, as our Chairman. In accordance with our Governance Principles, the Board concurrently appointed Mr. Michael Malafronte to serve as our Lead Independent Director. In evaluating the Board's leadership structure, the Board considered the relevant merits of combining the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and appointing a strong Lead Independent Director, compared with keeping the roles of Chairman of the Board and CEO separate. The Board concluded that Mr. Beard was the person best suited to serve as Chairman of the Board at this time, as he continues to lead Adtalem to unprecedented growth and impact as a leader in healthcare education and workforce development. In addition, the Board reaffirmed its commitment to independent Board leadership by appointing Mr. Malafronte as our Lead Independent Director, after his service as Chairman of the Board from November 2022 to November 2024.

Our Board believes that the existing structure, with Mr. Beard as Chairman and Mr. Malafronte as Lead Independent Director, continues to be the most effective leadership structure at this time. The Company benefits from an executive Chairman with deep experience in the healthcare education industry and knowledge of the Company's emerging risks and issues that derives from close coordination with the management team. The combined CEO and Chairman role allows the Company to communicate its strategy to employees, students, regulators, shareholders, and other stakeholders in a single voice. The Company likewise benefits from a Lead Independent Director with deep experience as an investor and shareholder who communicates regularly with the Chairman, other members of the Company's management team, and the other independent directors. We believe that the joint efforts and coordination between our Chairman and Lead Independent Director exemplify effective Board leadership and fulfillment of the Board's oversight responsibilities.

During FY25, the Board met in executive session without employee directors or other employees present at each regular Board meeting. Mr. Malafronte, as Adtalem's Lead Independent Director, presided over these sessions.

Our Governance Principles provide that when we have a Lead Independent Director, he or she:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● sets the agenda for, calls meeting of and leads executive sessions of the independent directors and reports to the Executive Chairman of the Board, as appropriate, concerning such meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● acts as a liaison between the Executive Chairman of the Board and the independent directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● advises the Executive Chairman of the Board as to the quality, quantity, and timeliness of the flow of information from management that is necessary for the independent directors to perform their duties effectively and responsibly;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● when appropriate, makes recommendations to the Executive Chairman of the Board about calling full meetings of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● serves as a resource to consult with the Executive Chairman of the Board and other Board members on corporate governance practices and policies and assumes the primary leadership role in addressing issues of this nature if, under the circumstances, it is inappropriate for the Executive Chairman of the Board to assume such leadership; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● performs such other duties as requested by the Board or Nominating & Governance Committee and as set forth in the Governance Principles.

Director Attendance

During FY25, our Board met five times. Each of Adtalem's directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and Board committees on which they served that occurred during their respective time of service on the Board in FY25.

All of our directors who were directors at the time participated in the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, held virtually in November 2024. Our Board encourages all of its members to attend the Annual Meeting but understands there may be situations that prevent such attendance.

Director Continuing Education

Members of the Board are encouraged to participate in continuing education and enrichment classes and seminars. During FY25, the following directors attended the following classes and seminars: (i) Dr. Vandenbosch attended the Director's Consortium at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business; and (ii) Mr. Burke attended PwC's Annual Corporate Directors Exchange. We also offer all of our directors a membership in NACD, an association for corporate board directors.

Board Self-Evaluation

Each year our Board undertakes a self-evaluation process to critically evaluate its performance and effectiveness. Each Board member also assesses the performance and contributions of all of their fellow Board members. Additionally, each committee conducts a self-evaluation to monitor its performance and effectiveness. The process is coordinated by the Board Chairman and the chair of the Nominating & Governance Committee. In FY25, the Board conducted the evaluation process with the assistance of Adtalem's Legal Department. Board and committee members are asked to provide commentary about a variety of topics, including the following: overall Board performance, including strategy, challenges, and opportunities; Board and committee meeting logistics and materials; Board and committee culture; and human capital and succession planning. The results of the Board and evaluations were aggregated by Adtalem's Legal Department and discussed at the Board's Strategy Meeting in May 2025 and committee meetings in June 2025. The results of the peer evaluations are reviewed with the individual Board members by the Chairman.

Board Succession and Effectiveness

In FY25, our Board engaged Spencer Stuart, an international executive search and leadership advisory firm to work with our Board members and key management to support and enhance Adtalem's work on board effectiveness and board succession. During FY23, our Board conducted a Board Composition Analysis ("Analysis"), part of which benchmarked Adtalem against a seven-company peer group, the overall S&P 500, and two companies identified as governance leaders. Adtalem was benchmarked against this group on financial performance, board demographics, committee structure, and board skills and competencies. The Analysis focused on the strategy-driven director criteria to inform future director recruitment. It reflected core experiences and expertise that would be additive to the Adtalem Board based on Company strategy. The Analysis provided the Board with a recruiting priority roadmap.

#### KEY BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES
Strategic Oversight

The Board actively reviews and provides oversight on Adtalem's long-term strategy and annual operating plan. In 2024, our Board held an inaugural two-day offsite strategy retreat to conduct a deep analysis of Adtalem's strategy, including goals, a timeline, and execution plans. These sessions provide a dedicated forum for an open exchange of ideas and viewpoints on Adtalem's strategic direction and an opportunity to identify new opportunities and risks as management executes upon the Company's strategy. The Board held its second annual two-day offsite strategy retreat in May 2025, covering topics including technology in health systems; disruptive technology in higher education; artificial intelligence in healthcare; healthcare talent; and healthcare and education market dynamics. Management reports its progress in executing on Adtalem's strategies and operating plan throughout the year. In addition, throughout the year, segment leadership report to the Board regarding individual segment strategies and operating plans. The full Board has primary responsibility to review and provide oversight to management on our impact strategy, with support from our Audit and Finance, Compensation, External Relations, and Nominating & Governance Committees, each of which provides oversight for relevant areas such as risk, and talent strategies.

Risk Oversight

Adtalem's full Board is responsible for assessing major risks facing Adtalem and overseeing management's plans and actions directed toward the mitigation and/or elimination of such risk. The Board has assigned specific elements of the oversight of risk management of Adtalem to committees of the Board, as summarized below. Each committee meets periodically with members of management and, in some cases, with outside advisors regarding the matters described below and, in turn, reports to the full Board at least during each regular meeting regarding any findings.

Managing current and emerging business risks, from regulatory and market risks to global risks, is an important component of our governance and oversight system. Management undertakes a regular review of a broad set of risks across Adtalem's business and operations to identify, assess, manage, and monitor existing and emerging threats and opportunities. Adtalem's Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") team is responsible for leading our risk management program at the enterprise level. The ERM team places particular focus on key risks that have the potential for the highest impact to Adtalem and its operations, and the highest likelihood of risk occurrence based on Adtalem's preparedness and potential impact to Adtalem's strategy. As part of management's proactive risk identification and mitigation efforts, the ERM team has developed Risk Appetite Statements for each critical enterprise risk. These Risk Appetite Statements provide a consistent framework to facilitate a shared and deepened understanding of risks across the enterprise and enable transparent communication and proactive risk management.

Succession Planning and Human Capital Management

The Board recognizes that one of its most important duties is to ensure continuity in Adtalem's senior leadership by overseeing the retention and development of executive talent and planning for the effective succession of our CEO and the executive leadership team. To ensure that the succession planning and leadership development process supports and enhances our long-term strategic objectives, the Board periodically consults with our CEO and Chief Human Resources Officer ("CHRO"). Succession and development plans are regularly discussed with the CEO and CHRO as well as, without them present, in the executive session of the Board. The Board ensures that it has sufficient opportunity to meet with and assess development plans for potential CEO and senior management team successors and to consider external talent market opportunities.

Our Impact Commitment

#### advancing healthcare, education and opportunity
At Adtalem our Impact work is central to how we fulfill our mission to expand opportunity and improve lives. We take a comprehensive approach—shaped by our commitments to community engagement and strong governance—that allows us to contribute meaningfully to society while advancing our business strategy. Our institutions play a critical role in helping to address one of the most pressing challenges in U.S. healthcare today: workforce shortages. Adtalem is helping to close the gap by preparing practice-ready graduates in medicine, nursing, veterinary medicine, social work, and related fields. We are the number one grantor of nursing degrees and Master of Social Work degrees in the U.S., and our medical schools graduate more physicians annually than any U.S.-based institution. We expand access to education, strengthen clinical pathways, and partner directly with healthcare systems to meet the growing demand for qualified professionals.

Beyond the classroom, we invest in the communities where our students and colleagues live and work through philanthropic partnerships and grantmaking aligned with healthcare and education access, workforce development and meaningful scholarship programs that help reduce barriers to education and increase degree completion. These efforts reflect our belief that responsible action and long-term value creation go hand in hand.

More information on our Impact strategy and progress can be found at adtalem.com/sustainability.

Our Approach to Cybersecurity and Data Privacy

At Adtalem, safeguarding sensitive information about our students, employees, institutions, and operations is integral to our overall risk management strategy. Our Cyber Risk Management Framework is designed to strengthen our systems against potential risks or outside threats to foster the trust of our internal and external collaborators and partners.

We modeled our proprietary Enterprise Information Security Framework Policy and Information Governance and Security Procedures on the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) 800-53 Framework. We manage information security in key areas such as cybersecurity, data privacy and information technology (IT) with functional teams that focus on their areas of expertise and collaborate on cross-disciplinary projects. We report to the Board on the maturity of our program in alignment with the updated NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF v2.0).

We benchmark across verticals and perform internal and external reviews as part of our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement. Our IT environment and cybersecurity-related controls are reviewed by our internal audit function and external third parties. We obtain third-party assessments, including cyber risk reviews and penetration testing, to evaluate our cybersecurity program independently. To our knowledge, we have not experienced a significant information security breach in the past five years. We regularly conduct tabletop exercises to assess our preparedness for potential cyber attacks. In our most recent exercise, we simulated a ransomware attack with the executive leadership team participating to evaluate our response strategies.

The Audit and Finance Committee receives quarterly updates from our Chief Information Security Officer, who reports directly to our Chief Financial Officer. Committee oversight includes the responsibility to ensure we have established and documented cybersecurity processes that are maintained and periodically evaluated. Our formal Cybersecurity, Privacy and IT Risk Committee meets regularly to ensure rigorous evaluation of existing and emerging risks in the environment. The committee is integrated with the Enterprise Risk Committee, ensuring cybersecurity risks are captured, assessed and reported at the corporate level.

Recognizing that Adtalem has embraced the use of artificial intelligence ("AI") tools, we have developed AI risk management strategies, including an AI Governance Policy, architecture review and approval protocols, and guidance regarding the use of sanctioned tools in our environment.

Moreover, Adtalem's cybersecurity program and data privacy programs include oversight on appropriate AI use and education for our entire workforce on through formal training programs, testing and email reinforcement. The AI Governance Policy provides an overarching corporate framework for secure strategies to integrate AI technology and machine learning into the student experience. This approach provides innovation, flexibility and security while also ensuring consistent standards across all institutions.

Outreach and Engagement

We value the opinions of our shareholders and believe regular, proactive communications with our shareholders to be in the long-term best interests of Adtalem. Our investor communications and outreach include direct one-on-one engagements, investor day meetings, investor conferences, and quarterly conference calls. Our investor events are open to the public and are available live and as archived webcasts on our investor relations website. Additionally, we reach out at least annually to our largest shareholders to invite feedback. We reached out to shareholders representing more than 70 percent of shares owned. We hold individual calls with shareholders who accept our invitation to allow for open, meaningful discussions. As part of our shareholder outreach, we meet with our shareholders to discuss regular business updates, strategic outlook, compensation matters, and global impact. We share material feedback received from our shareholders with our Board.

Adtalem employees and students may also report Accounting Complaints using any of the reporting procedures specified in Adtalem's Code of Conduct and Ethics. All reports by employees and students shall be treated confidentially to the extent possible and may be made anonymously. Adtalem will not discharge, demote, suspend, threaten, harass, or in any manner discriminate against any employee in the terms and conditions of his or her employment based upon any lawful actions taken by such employee with respect to the good faith submission of Accounting Complaints.

#### BOARD PRACTICES AND POLICIES
Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions

It is Adtalem's policy that the Audit and Finance Committee review, approve, or ratify all transactions in which Adtalem participates and in which any related person has a direct or indirect material interest and the transaction involves or is expected to involve payments of $120,000 or more in the aggregate per fiscal year. Our legal staff is primarily responsible for gathering information from the directors and executive officers, including annual questionnaires completed by all our directors, director nominees, and executive officers. The Audit and Finance Committee reviews the relevant facts and circumstances of all related party transactions, including whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm's length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related party's interest in the transaction. No member of the Audit and Finance Committee may participate in any approval of a related party transaction to which he or she is a related party.

Various Adtalem policies and procedures, including the Code of Conduct and Ethics, which applies to Adtalem's directors, officers, and all other employees, and annual questionnaires completed by all Adtalem directors, director nominees, and executive officers, require disclosure of related person transactions or relationships that may constitute conflicts of interest or otherwise require disclosure under applicable SEC rules.

There were no transactions in FY25 that required either approval under our policies and procedures or disclosure as required by the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Governance Principles/Code of Conduct and Ethics

Our Board has adopted Governance Principles that set forth expectations for directors, director qualifications, director retirement, director independence standards, board committee structure, and functions and other policies for Adtalem's governance. We have adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics applicable to all employees including directors, officers, and full- and part-time employees and faculty of Adtalem Global Education Inc. and its subsidiaries. These documents are available on Adtalem's website at https://www.adtalem.com/about-us/organizational-governance. Any amendments or waivers of the Code of Conduct and Ethics will be disclosed at the same website address.

**Proposal No. 1 Election of Directors**

We encourage individuals to speak up with questions, concerns, or potential violations of our Code of Conduct and Ethics, and we have a 24-hour reporting hotline administered through a third-party to offer anonymity, to the extent possible, to anyone reporting such issues. Information about our whistleblower policy and practices is included in the Code of Conduct and Ethics. All reports, which are reviewed by the Audit and Finance Committee each quarter, are investigated promptly, thoroughly and fairly, and appropriate action is taken whenever necessary.

Compensation Committee Independence and Insider Participation

During FY25, Michael W. Malafronte, William W. Burke, Liam Krehbiel, and Sharon O'Keefe served on the Compensation Committee. None of those members of the Compensation Committee was an officer or employee of Adtalem, or a former officer of Adtalem, nor did any of them have any relationship requiring disclosure by Adtalem as a related person transaction under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. During FY25, none of the Company's executive officers served on the board of directors or a compensation committee of any other entity, any officers of which served on Adtalem's Board or our Compensation Committee.

#### DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
The competitiveness of the director compensation program is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee with the assistance and input of Aon ("Aon") and previously, Meridian Compensation Partners, the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultants. No changes were made to the director compensation program in FY25 or FY24. Each non-employee director annually receives RSUs with an approximate value of $140,000. The RSUs are granted immediately following the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock following the satisfaction of the vesting period, which is the one-year anniversary of the grant date. In addition to the RSUs, in FY25, non-employee directors received an annual retainer of $85,000, paid quarterly. The Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee received an additional annual retainer of $25,000, the Chair of the Compensation Committee received an additional annual retainer of $17,500, and the chairs of each of the other committees received an additional annual retainer of $12,500 for their roles as committee chairs. During FY25, Mr. Beard, our Executive Chairman of the Board and CEO, did not receive any additional compensation for his service as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Malafronte received an additional annual retainer of $35,000 (prorated for the year) for his service as Lead Independent Director. Mr. Malafronte donated $68,750 of his Board fees in FY25 to the Empower Scholarship Fund. Directors were reimbursed for any reasonable and appropriate expenditures attendant to Board membership.

Under the Adtalem Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, a director may elect to defer all or a portion of the cash retainer. Any amount so deferred is, at the director's election, valued as if invested in various investment choices made available by the Compensation Committee for this purpose, and is payable in cash installments, or as a lump-sum on or after termination of service as a director, or at a later date specified by the director. No non-employee directors deferred any portion of their compensation in FY25.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The amounts reported in the Stock Awards column represent the grant date fair value of 1,560 RSUs granted on November 13, 2024 to each of the directors named above, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The assumptions made in determining the valuations of these awards can be found at Note 15: Stock-Based Compensation to our audited financial statements in Adtalem's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025. The number of RSUs granted to each of the directors named above was determined by dividing $140,000 by $89.85, which represents the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the November 13, 2024 award date and rounding to the nearest 10 shares.

#### PROPOSAL NO. 2

## Ratify Selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Subject to shareholder ratification, the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board has reappointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"), as independent registered public accounting firm for Adtalem and its subsidiaries for fiscal year 2026. The Board recommends to the shareholders that the selection of PwC as independent registered public accounting firm for Adtalem and its subsidiaries be ratified. If the shareholders do not ratify the selection of PwC, the selection of independent registered public accounting firm will be reconsidered by the Audit and Finance Committee. Representatives of PwC are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and to be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

#### APPROVAL BY SHAREHOLDERS
Proposal No. 2 to ratify the selection of PwC as independent registered public accounting firm for Adtalem for fiscal year 2026 will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock of Adtalem represented at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be treated as a vote AGAINST the proposal, while broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes represented and entitled to vote and, therefore, will have no effect on the result of the vote for this proposal. See VOTING INFORMATION – Effect of Not Casting Your Vote. If you sign and return your proxy card, but give no direction or complete the telephonic or internet voting procedures but do not specify how you want to vote your shares, the shares will be voted **FOR** ratification of the selection of PwC as independent registered public accounting firm for Adtalem for fiscal year 2026.

If the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026 is not ratified by our shareholders, the adverse vote will be considered a direction to the Audit and Finance Committee to consider other auditors for next year. However, because of the difficulty in making any substitution of auditors after the beginning of the current year, the 2026 appointment will stand unless the Audit and Finance Committee finds other good reason to make a change.

#### SELECTION AND ENGAGEMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit and Finance Committee, at each of its regularly scheduled meetings, and on an interim basis as required, reviews all engagements of PwC for audit and all other services. Prior to the Audit and Finance Committee's consideration for approval, management provides the Audit and Finance Committee with a description of the reason for and nature of the services to be provided along with an estimate of the time required and approximate cost. Following such review, each proposed service is approved, modified, or denied as appropriate. A record of all such approvals is maintained in the files of the Audit and Finance Committee for future reference. All services provided by PwC during the past two years were approved by the Audit and Finance Committee prior to their undertaking.

#### PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES
The Audit and Finance Committee has adopted a policy for approving all permitted audit, audit-related, tax, and non-audit services to be provided by PwC in advance of the commencement of such services, except for those considered to be de minimis by law for non-audit services. Information regarding services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm under this de minimis exception is presented to the Audit and Finance Committee for information purposes at each of its meetings. There is no blanket pre-approval provision within this policy. For fiscal years 2024 and 2025, none of the services provided by PwC were provided pursuant to the de minimis exception to the pre-approval requirements contained in the applicable rules of the SEC. Audit and Finance Committee consideration and approval generally occurs at a regularly scheduled Audit and Finance Committee meeting. For projects that require an expedited decision because the independent registered public accounting firm should begin prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting, requests for approval may be circulated to the Audit and Finance Committee by e- mail, telephonically, or by other means for its consideration and approval. When deemed necessary, the Audit and Finance Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chair. Any engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm under this delegation will be presented for informational purposes to the full Audit and Finance Committee at their next meeting.

#### AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit and Finance Committee has:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Reviewed and discussed the 2025 audited financial statements with management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Met with PwC, Adtalem's independent registered public accounting firm, and discussed the matters required to be discussed by the PCAOB and the SEC; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit and Finance Committee concerning independence, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Discussed with PwC its independence.

In reliance upon the Audit and Finance Committee's reviews and discussions with both management and PwC, management's representations and the report of PwC on Adtalem's audited financial statements, the Audit and Finance Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 be included in Adtalem's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 filed with the SEC.

While the Audit and Finance Committee has the responsibilities set forth in its charter (including to monitor and oversee the audit processes), the Audit and Finance Committee does not have the duty to plan or conduct audits or to determine that Adtalem's financial statements are complete, accurate or in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Adtalem's management and independent auditor have this responsibility.

This report has been furnished by the members of the Audit and Finance Committee.

#### EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
FY25 was a transformative year for Adtalem's organizational performance and outcomes. Despite navigating a challenging macroeconomic environment and evolving regulatory landscape, our teams delivered exceptional results.

Key achievements include:

---

|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;12.9%⭡<br>Revenue to $1,788 million | &nbsp;&nbsp;33.1%⭡<br>Adjusted earnings per share to $6.67 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$333 million<br>Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations | &nbsp;&nbsp;$221 million<br>Returned to shareholders through share repurchases |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;87%⭡<br>Share price | &nbsp;&nbsp;Exceeded that of our peer group<br>Total Shareholder Return |

---

The compensation results for our NEOs reflected achievement of the aggressive performance goals which produced the above results and demonstrated our strong pay for performance alignment.

Pay for Performance

● The majority of our NEOs' total target compensation is performance-based, ensuring the executive rewards are directly tied to the company's success. Performance Share Unit ("PSU") awards comprise 60% of our NEOs' regular annual long-term incentive equity awards in FY25.

● To reinforce our commitment to pay-for-performance, we expect compensation arrangements for our executive officers to be even more heavily tied to performance in FY26; the Board intends the FY26 regular annual equity award for the CEO to be comprised 100% of PSUs and regular annual equity awards for other NEOs to be comprised of 70% PSUs.

Rigorous Performance Targets

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**Proposal No. 3 Say-on-pay: Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers ("NEOs")**

● Aggressive revenue and EPS goals were set for the FY25 Management Incentive Plan ("MIP"). The plan's revenue target was $1,730 million, which required a strong growth rate of 9.1% versus actual FY24 revenue of $1,585 million. The adjusted EPS target, $6.04, required a growth rate of 20.6% from the prior year's actual achievement of $5.01.

● Targets for the FY24-FY25 Growth with Purpose ("GwP") PSUs were intended to incentivize management to deliver industry-leading financial results, exceeding that which would be generated by the FY23-FY25 PSU targets alone.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o FY25 revenue of $1,662 million was required to realize target payout on the GwP awards — a 3.8% average growth rate for the two-year period. FY25 revenue of $1,712 million — an 8.6% average revenue growth rate for the period — was required to realize maximum payout. In comparison, our FY23-25 PSUs required a three-year average revenue growth rate of 2.33% to pay out at target, and a 2.57% average growth rate for maximum payout.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Achievement of the program's adjusted EBITDA margin targets — when applied in conjunction with the aggressive revenue targets — would also yield a level of EBITDA unmatched in previous years.

Overall FY25 compensation highlights for our NEOs were as follows:

● No base pay adjustments were made for three NEOs, including the CEO. The base salaries for Mr. Phelan and Mr. Betz were increased to better align with the market and to reflect expanded responsibilities, respectively.

● Target bonus opportunities remained unchanged for four NEOs, including the CEO. A moderate increase was approved for Mr. Betz in conjunction with his expanded responsibilities.

● Based on the company's financial performance and individual executive accomplishments against goals, the FY25 MIP was earned at 93% to 172% of target for our NEOs. These results reflected our extraordinary academic, operational, and financial accomplishments in FY25, summarized below.

● FY25 equity grants consisted of 40% Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") vesting annually over three years, and 60% PSUs, vesting after three years. The PSU financial performance measures remained consistent with those utilized for PSUs awarded for FY24: revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin. The award opportunities reflected the Compensation Committee's high expectations for future performance and shareholder value creation, as well as a desire to promote long-term retention of key executives critical to our operations.

● The FY23-FY25 Revenue PSUs were achieved at 200% of target, reflecting results that were significantly over the maximum established for the award. The FY23-FY25 EBITDA margin PSUs were achieved at 86% of target, reflecting EBITDA margin achievement slightly below target.

● Payouts on the GwP supplemental PSU awards were indicative of the superior performance and shareholder results achieved in connection with the GwP strategy. Achievement on the GwP revenue metrics exceeded the plan maximum by $76 million, which resulted in a payout of 200% of the target number of Revenue PSUs granted. Achievement on the adjusted EBITDA margin metric exceeded target by 100 bps, which resulted in a payout of 171% of the target number of Adjusted EBITDA margin PSUs granted.

#### FY25 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Adtalem's recent record of academic, financial and operational achievement represents a remarkable transformation story. The company has successfully executed a comprehensive strategic vision that reshaped its portfolio into a healthcare-focused educational growth model, delivering exceptional results across all segments while strengthening its position as a leader in healthcare education and workforce development. Mr. Beard's appointment as CEO in 2021 marked the beginning of an exceptional period of strategic execution. The acquisition and integration of Walden was accomplished between FY21 and FY23, exceeding the $60 million value capture target and creating a more profitable operating model for the entire organization. In FY22, Adtalem completed another strategic milestone by divesting its Financial Services segment for $1 billion, using $770 million of the proceeds to pay down debt. These transactions transformed Adtalem's portfolio, providing the foundation for the company's current success.

At the June 2023 investor day, Adtalem's leadership introduced "Growth with Purpose (GwP)," a comprehensive three-year strategy designed to fundamentally transform the company's approach to growth. This strategy, rooted in operational excellence, centers on five interconnected value-creating pillars of marketing, enrollment, retention, pricing and programs. What makes GwP distinctive is its deliberate focus on expanding access to post-secondary education for non-traditional student populations while never compromising on the student outcomes that define Adtalem's reputation.

FY25 marked another important inflection point in Adtalem's transformational growth trajectory. The company's operational excellence in executing the multi-year GwP strategy not only met but significantly exceeded the FY25 plan, delivering results that reflect the compound benefits of long-term investments and strategic positioning. This momentum was evident across all segments. Chamberlain University, the nation's largest nursing school, achieved record-breaking total enrollment with over 40,000 students enrolled in FY25. Walden University demonstrated remarkable consistency with double-digit enrollment growth every

quarter, surpassing pre-pandemic levels to reach over 48,000 students enrolled by the fourth quarter of 2025. The Medical and Veterinary segment, with 5,000 students enrolled on average in FY25, continued its tradition of excellence by collectively ranking at the top nationally for the number of students matched into U.S. veterinary and medical residency programs.

Adtalem's FY25 performance positioned the company at the forefront of the industry. Revenue increased 12.9% to $1,788 million, while adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 190 basis points to 25.7%. Adjusted earnings per share grew 33.1% to $6.67, demonstrating strong profitability alongside top-line growth. The company returned significant capital to shareholders in FY25 through share repurchases, completing the prior $300 million January 2024 Board-authorized share repurchase program and announcing a new $150 million share repurchase program through May 2028. Additionally, Adtalem strengthened its balance sheet by reducing and refinancing long-term financial obligations, ending the year at a healthy 0.8x adjusted net leverage.

This transformative fiscal year enabled Adtalem to meaningfully expand access to in-demand programs and make strategic investments in student outcomes, creating a powerful ripple effect that benefited students, strengthened the healthcare workforce, and served the broader community while strengthening shareholder value. What began as an ambitious roadmap has evolved into a proven methodology for sustainable, purpose-driven growth that serves all stakeholders while maintaining the company's commitment to educational excellence. These achievements position Adtalem as a leader in healthcare education and workforce development while establishing a strong foundation for continued growth and impact.

**GROWTH WITH PURPOSE: EXCEPTIONAL FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE**

The GwP strategy has proven highly successful, delivering consistent enrollment growth and demonstrating that purpose-driven growth and strong financial performance can work hand-in-hand. When management set ambitious three-year financial targets for FY24, FY25 and FY26, they established benchmarks that would test the organization's ability to execute on this vision. Now, two years into the GwP journey, the results speak for themselves — we have consistently outperformed our original expectations across all key performance metrics, validating both the strategy's design and our team's execution capabilities.

Adtalem's Compensation Committee deliberately set aggressive FY25 performance objectives designed to push management toward extraordinary results that would change the trajectory of the company compared to its historical performance and lead the broader industry landscape. Achievement of the adjusted EBITDA margin targets established for the GwP PSUs – when applied in conjunction with the aggressive revenue targets established for that program – would yield a level of EBITDA unmatched in previous years. The Committee's intention was clear: to incentivize leadership to reach performance levels that would be genuinely exceptional.

Management not only met these demanding benchmarks — they surpassed them decisively, delivering results that exceeded the Committee's ambitious targets. This dual achievement of beating internal stretch goals and leading the industry demonstrates the caliber of execution that sets Adtalem apart in the marketplace- and demonstrated the power of our pay for performance philosophy

The compensation awarded to management in FY25 reflects this exceptional performance and recognizes their success in delivering outstanding results for all stakeholders: our students, colleagues, investors, the institutions, and the communities they serve. More importantly, these achievements underscore Adtalem's unwavering commitment to strengthening its market-leading position in healthcare education and advancing the company's strategic ambition to become a systemically important workforce partner to the U.S. healthcare system for many years to come.

<sup>1</sup> Revenue and Adj. EBITDA are in millions.

#### FINANCIAL RESULTS COMPARED TO PEERS
Adtalem's strategic transformation and operational excellence – a testament to the purposeful design of our compensation programs - have generated exceptional shareholder returns that significantly lead the broader market and its peer group. A $100 investment in Adtalem's equity on June 30, 2020, has delivered extraordinary returns, generating a remarkable five-year cumulative total return of +308% for an ending value of $408 on June 30, 2025. This exceptional performance represents a testament to the power of strategic execution and operational excellence in driving shareholder value creation.

![Graphic](atge-20251112xdef14a_a077.jpg)

Adtalem's share price appreciation has dramatically eclipsed all key benchmarks, delivering returns that are more than two times greater than the S&P 500's +116%, more than five times the Russell 2000's +61%, and significantly outpacing the average peer performance of 113%. This superior cumulative total return performance reflects our ability to successfully execute our comprehensive business transformation while consistently delivering on our GwP strategy. The magnitude of this outperformance demonstrates how our focus on operational excellence, student outcomes and strategic positioning has translated into exceptional value creation for shareholders, validating our long-term approach to building a market-leading healthcare education enterprise.

| Our GwP strategy has delivered transformational results not only in financial performance, but in our core mission of preparing healthcare professionals who will serve communities across America. The outcomes achieved in FY25 demonstrate how our strategic investments in student success translate directly into strengthening the healthcare workforce pipeline and expanding access to quality care.<br>In FY25, we graduated 29,000 students, approximately 90% with degrees in healthcare related professions, joining our community of approximately 365,000 alumni. A significant portion of our graduates are working adults or first-generation college graduates who often balance their studies with full-time jobs and family responsibilities. They represent a wide variety of backgrounds and socioeconomic circumstances, serving as nurses, physicians, counselors, social workers, veterinarians and other healthcare professionals in both urban centers and underserved rural communities across the country. Many of our students are career changers seeking stable employment in high-demand fields, while others are advancing within their current healthcare roles. Due to the broad set of students that we serve, the top priority for management remains to remove student learning barriers to deliver outstanding student outcomes to prepare them for meaningful careers and enhanced earning potential. <br>We also made significant student-facing investments to enhance the student experience, implementing ground-breaking initiatives across every stage of the student journey. We streamlined and personalized the enrollment process to better support working adults and first-generation college students navigating higher education for the first time. Our new AI-powered learning technologies provide real-time tutoring support, adaptive study plans, and personalized feedback to help students master complex healthcare concepts and clinical skills. These innovations ensure our graduates are not just academically prepared but truly "day-one" practice ready to step confidently into hospitals, clinics and healthcare facilities.<br>We broadened our inclusive access mission by expanding in-demand programs like nursing, mental health, and physician assistant studies, securing additional state approvals to serve more communities and meet students where they are on their journey. We are also proud that Chamberlain University and Walden University were recognized as "Opportunity Colleges and Universities" in the 2025 Student Access and Earnings Classification by the Carnegie Foundation and American Council on Education, underscoring our dedication to delivering exceptional education and student empowerment.<br>Walden University continues to be an industry leader driving digital innovation in post-secondary higher education. In FY25, we continued to enhance our seamless student experience, rolling out student facing enhancements such as Build Your Own Education plan, which maps out a prospective student's journey and provides program cost estimates directly on our website. Investments in our student advisors are unlocking their ability to spend more time having direct student interactions. We continue to make education more affordable through our Believe and Achieve scholarship program, which can reduce cost of program completion by up to 25% with over 50,000 students participating since launch in FY23. Walden faculty and staff continue to leverage AI to create adaptive student learning tools which have increased our student persistence rates. In FY25, Walden University graduated 12,500 students, making a significant impact to nursing, social work, counseling and education professions, among others. It was also recently certified as a B-Corporation, a recognition of its commitment to using business as a force for good — balancing profit with purpose.<br>Chamberlain University is a leader in nursing education, graduating practice ready nurses at scale. In FY25, Chamberlain University graduated 13,000 nursing students. Its Practice Ready. Special Focused™ program expanded its specialized nursing education model through additional industry leading partnerships in FY25. Bachelor of Science in Nursing students can now receive specialized training in oncology, critical care, emergency nursing, nephrology, home healthcare and perioperative nursing. We also continue to expand access to our programs. Our Bachelor of Science in Nursing online offering is now being offered in 36 states and has 58 clinical hub locations, bringing nursing education closer to urban and rural students nationwide. Chamberlain's AI agent, Nurse Ally, has brought adaptive learning tutoring 24/7 to our 40,000 students.  | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Graduated** <br>29,000<br>Total<br>Students<br>in 2025 across Adtalem's institutions<br>**Graduated** <br>20,000<br>Nursing<br>Students<br>in 2025<br>**Graduated** <br>2,600<br>Social &<br>Behavioral<br>Science<br>Students<br>in 2025<br>**Graduated** <br>1,100<br>Psychology<br>Students<br>in 2025<br>|

| Combined, American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine and Ross University School of Medicine students and graduates had a 95% first-time residency attainment rate.<sup>5</sup> We placed over 615 future clinicians at over 325 health facilities, spanning 42 U.S. states and territories and in 26 specialties with more than 130 students and graduates matching into partner clinical hospitals. This year, greater than 40% of AUC and RUSM residency placements will train in a federally designated medically underserved area/population (MUA/Ps), expanding access to care in underserved urban and rural communities nationwide. Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine ("RUSVM") graduated 415 Doctors of Veterinary Medicine in 2024 and ranked 1<sup>st</sup> among institutions whose graduates matched into selective internships and residencies. In the most recently reported academic year, 2023, RUSVM accounted for approximately 9% of all Doctor of Veterinary Medicine graduates entering the U.S. veterinary market. In FY25, our Medical/Veterinary segment graduated 1,100 students.<br>These achievements underscore how our GwP strategy creates a virtuous cycle in which exceptional financial performance enables greater investment in student success, which in turn strengthens our market position while fulfilling our mission to address critical healthcare workforce shortages. The quality and scale of our graduate outcomes position Adtalem as an increasingly vital partner to the U.S. healthcare system, with our 365,000 alumni serving on the front lines of patient care in communities nationwide. | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Graduated** <br>1,100<br>Medical &<br>Veterinary<br>Students<br>in 2025 |

Operational

Operational excellence is the primary focus of our GwP strategy, which has created a more efficient operating model with durable synergies. This new, more efficient foundation has unlocked our ability to sustainably accelerate the performance of our institutions as Adtalem expands access to our in-demand healthcare programs to tens of thousands of students who might not otherwise have an opportunity to fulfill their professional ambitions. Our integrated operating model has achieved real leverage through efficiencies and economies of scale, affording us the ability to sustainably increase our student-facing investments in FY25 while exceeding our goal to expand our adjusted EBITDA margin by 100 bps year-over-year, ending the year with a 190 bps gain.

| At the close of the fiscal year, Chamberlain University experienced its 10th straight quarter of total enrollment growth, averaging 9.0% quarterly growth in FY25. It also expanded its national scale, surpassing its highest ever previous total enrollment during FY25. Walden University had eight straight quarters of total enrollment growth, averaging 13.5% quarterly growth in FY25, surpassing pre-pandemic levels of total enrollment. The Medical/Veterinary segment grew enrollment for FY25 by 0.5%. Total enrollment growth has been underpinned by our ability to significantly increase both new enrollments and already high persistence rates among existing students.<br>Building upon this foundation, we recently announced the Aspiring Nurse Program — a strategic partnership between Adtalem Global Education, Chamberlain University and SSM Health — projected to graduate and employ 400+ practice-ready nurses annually across Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin. This partnership exemplifies Adtalem's GwP strategy by connecting education directly to healthcare delivery, where students receive upfront tuition support, complete clinical hours in SSM Health facilities where they'll work post-graduation and have guaranteed employment upon completion. With Chamberlain's reach across 36 states and 58 clinical hubs, Adtalem is positioned to scale this innovative model nationwide, creating a replicable framework for addressing critical workforce needs while delivering measurable value to communities. | &nbsp;&nbsp;10 straight quarters of growth <br>**FORCHAMBERLAINUNIVERSITY**<br>**~40k average students enrolled in FY25** | &nbsp;&nbsp;8 straight quarters of growth <br>**FOR**<br>**WALDEN**<br>**UNIVERSITY**<br>**~47k average students enrolled in FY25**<br>|

Financial

The financial results for FY25 demonstrate the exceptional execution of our GwP strategy, with performance that dramatically exceeded our ambitious targets across every key metric. Revenue reached $1,788 million, representing robust 12.9% year-over-year growth that more than doubled our June 2023 investor day growth target of 4% to 6%. This top-line performance was matched by equally impressive margin expansion, with adjusted EBITDA margin growing by 190 basis points year-over-year to 25.7%, significantly surpassing our investor day expansion target of 100 basis points and reflecting the operational leverage inherent in our strategic positioning.

These strong fundamentals translated into outstanding bottom-line results, with adjusted earnings per share of $6.67 representing a remarkable 33.1%year-over-year increase that far exceeded our June 2023 investor day growth target of 10% to 15%. Adjusted EBITDA reached $460 million compared with $378 million in the prior year, demonstrating the compound benefits of our long-term investments and strategic focus on operational excellence.

FY25 demonstrated not only exceptional financial performance but also Adtalem's strong cash generation and disciplined capital allocation strategy. Operating cash flow from continuing operations reached $334 million, representing a $45 million increase from the prior year. We strategically reinvested $50 million in capital expenditures while maintaining our commitment to shareholder returns through $211 million in share repurchases. This activity completed our January 2024 Board-authorized $300 million share repurchase program and enabled us to announce a new $150 million program authorized through May 2028. We also strengthened our financial position by repricing our Term Loan B, reducing the interest rate by 75 basis points and repaying $100 million of the outstanding balance. Additionally, we improved our regulatory standing by reducing outstanding letters of credit with the Department of Education from 20% to 10% of Title IV receipts. These actions collectively reflect our operational excellence through the GwP strategy, robust cash generation capabilities, and disciplined approach to capital allocation that creates sustained value for all stakeholders.

#### CONTINUED SHAREHOLDER OUTREACH
**Adtalem employs a proactive investor relations approach, involving management and the Board, with ongoing outreach and interactive dialogue with investors to seek input on topics including corporate governance, executive compensation, global impact and strategy. Our goal is to provide transparency to ensure there is a clear understanding of our business and our operating and financial performance as set forth in our public filings, through one-on-one discussions, non-deal road shows and investor conferences.**

**Our ongoing commitment to shareholder outreach included proactive outreach to our shareholders in FY25. Shareholders reiterated their support for our strategic transformation actions, GwP organic growth strategy and compensation structure.** 

Adtalem and the Board will continue to engage with our shareholders with transparency and purpose.

Section 2: Our Approach to Executive Compensation

#### COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES
**Adtalem's executive compensation program strategically rewards leaders for delivering exceptional financial results while building long-term shareholder value through educational excellence. We believe academic quality and student-centric focus drive sustainable growth, incorporating rigorous performance objectives that recognize leadership for improving student outcomes. This philosophy has been particularly effective in driving the strong results achieved under our GwP strategy. Most of our NEOs' total target compensation is performance-based, directly tying executive rewards to company success.**

Our FY25 performance marked a critical inflection point where operational excellence against the multi-year GwP strategy significantly exceeded our plan and delivered compound benefits from long-term investments.

Our program aligns leaders' interests with shareholders and key stakeholders, including students, colleagues, institutions, and communities. The Compensation Committee has structured the compensation of Mr. Beard and the other NEOs to reflect this record of sustained achievement and to ensure they face meaningful forfeiture risk if they were to leave the Company. The program focuses executives on strategic priorities and GwP transformation while providing substantial upside and downside potential based on actual performance over both short- and long-term periods.

These measures support our strategic shift through annual incentives and long-term GwP performance share plans that recognize leadership for improving student outcomes while driving sustainable financial growth, ensuring our commitment to educational excellence translates into enduring shareholder value creation.

The following chart highlights key objectives behind the development, review and approval of our NEOs' compensation. Our executive compensation program is designed to:

|:---|:---|:---|
| **ALIGN INCENTIVES**  | **COMPETE FOR TALENT**  | **REWARD PERFORMANCE**  |
| **ALIGN INCENTIVES**  | **COMPETE FOR TALENT**  | **REWARD PERFORMANCE**  |
| Our purpose is to empower students to achieve their goals, find success and make inspiring contributions to our global community. This student-centered mission drives our compensation philosophy: we believe that when students succeed, our organization succeeds, creating sustainable long-term value for shareholders. Our compensation program directly reflects this belief by measuring and rewarding outcomes that demonstrate student achievement and institutional effectiveness. By aligning executive incentives with student success metrics alongside financial performance indicators, we ensure that leadership decisions consistently prioritize the educational outcomes that form the foundation of our long-term growth and shareholder value creation. | Our compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate high-performing employees, particularly our key executives who are critical to our operations. Our compensation decisions take into account the competitive landscape for talent. | Our compensation program is designed to drive and reward outstanding performance through:<br>● A short-term incentive program focusing our executives on achieving strong financial results and superior academic and student outcomes, through individual performance objectives<br>● A long-term incentive program providing a mix of equity vehicles designed to reward long-term financial performance and shareholder value creation<br>● A special supplemental incentive program for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 to drive achievement of and appropriately support our multi-year GwP transformation strategy |

#### PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE FOCUS
We use both short- and long-term incentives to reward NEOs for delivering strong business results, increasing shareholder value, and improving student outcomes. With our pay-for-performance philosophy, an executive can earn in excess of target levels when performance exceeds established objectives; and, if performance falls below established objectives, our incentive plans pay below target levels, which in some cases could be nothing at all.

![Graphic](atge-20251112xdef14a_a080.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Excludes perquisites.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Illustration represents FY25 target compensation mix for Mr. Beard and the other NEOs.

#### Program Design:
The actual value realized from the annual MIP award can range from zero, if threshold performance targets are not met, to up to 250% of targeted amounts for exceptional organizational and individual performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Our regular long-term incentive program consists of equity-based awards that derive their value based on the performance of our stock price. Beginning with FY23, the Compensation Committee determined that it would no longer grant stock options. The elimination of stock options was intended to simplify the long-term incentive program and to shift more of the equity mix to performance-based equity awards. As a result, a significant portion of the equity-based awards granted under the annual long-term incentive program (60% of the executive officers' annual awards) is granted in the form of PSUs, the number of which earned is based on achievement of three-year financial performance goals. For the PSUs granted in FY25, the Committee approved the continued use of revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin as the financial performance measures which best align the long-term incentive program with Adtalem's current long-term growth strategy. If the minimum levels of performance are not met, no PSUs are earned; if the minimum levels of performance are met, payout can range from 50% to 200% of the target number of PSUs.

**Performance Assessment:** Our Compensation Committee uses a comprehensive, well-defined and rigorous process to assess organizational and individual performance. We believe the performance measures for our incentive plans focus management on the aggressive objectives we have set for the creation of short- and long-term shareholder value as well as academic quality and organizational growth.

**Proposal No. 3 Say-on-pay: Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers ("NEOs")**

#### COMPENSATION SETTING PROCESS

#### Role of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee determines the appropriate level of base salary, annual cash incentive and long-term incentive compensation for the NEOs and, in the case of the CEO, recommends appropriate levels of compensation to the independent members of the Board. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves all components of annual compensation (base salary, annual cash incentive and long-term incentive) to ensure they align with the principles of Adtalem's compensation program. In addition, the Compensation Committee meets periodically to review the design of the overall compensation program, approve performance targets, review management performance and assist in establishing CEO goals and objectives.

Each year, the Compensation Committee recommends CEO compensation to the independent members of the Board, taking into consideration the CEO's performance evaluation and advice from the independent executive compensation consulting firm engaged by the Compensation Committee. In determining the CEO's long-term incentive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers Adtalem's absolute and relative performance, incentive awards to CEOs at comparable companies, past awards and the CEO's expected future contributions, as well as other factors it deems appropriate. The CEO's compensation package is approved by the independent members of the Board during an executive session.

#### Role of the Executive Officers and Management
The CEO, in consultation with the Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer, provides the Compensation Committee with compensation recommendations for the other NEOs, including recommendations for annual base salary increases, annual cash incentive awards and long-term incentive awards. These recommendations are based on market-competitive compensation data and the CEO's assessment of each NEO's performance in the prior year. While these recommendations are given significant weight, the Compensation Committee retains full discretion when determining compensation.

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves, with any modifications it deems appropriate, base salary, annual cash incentive awards and long-term incentive awards for Adtalem's NEOs.

#### Role of the Compensation Consultant
**The Compensation Committee retains ultimate responsibility for compensation-related decisions. To add objectivity to the review process and inform the Compensation Committee of market trends and practices, the Compensation Committee engages the services of an independent executive compensation advisory firm. The Compensation Committee engaged Meridian as its independent executive compensation consultant for most of FY25, from July 2024 through February 2025.**

Meridian reviewed Adtalem's executive compensation structure and incentive plan designs, assessed the competitiveness of the executive compensation program and provided guidance on how the program could best align the interests of executive officers with those of shareholders. Meridian's primary areas of assistance were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Gathering information related to current trends and practices in executive compensation, including peer group and broader market survey data;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Reviewing, analyzing, and providing recommendations for Adtalem's list of peer group companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Benchmarking competitive pay levels for NEOs and other executives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Advising on short-term and long-term incentive plan designs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Reviewing information and recommendations developed by management for the Compensation Committee and providing input on such information and recommendations to the Compensation Committee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Attending and participating in all Compensation Committee meetings and most non-employee director executive sessions, as well as briefings with the Compensation Committee chair and management prior to meetings.

Beginning in March 2025, and through the end of FY25, the Compensation Committee retained Aon's Human Capital Solutions Practice, a division of Aon plc ("Aon"), as its independent executive compensation consultant. Following its appointment, Aon's primary areas of assistance were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Reviewing with management and the Compensation Committee the materials to be used in Adtalem's Proxy Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Providing advice and information on other executive matters, prevailing market practices, and regulatory requirements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Attending and participating in Compensation Committee meetings and non-employee director executive sessions, as well as briefings with the Compensation Committee chair and management prior to meetings.

The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to approve the independent compensation consultant's fees and terms of engagement. Thus, the Compensation Committee annually reviews its relationship with, and assesses the independence of, its consultant to ensure executive compensation consulting independence. The process includes a review of the services the independent consultant provides, the quality of those services and fees associated with the services during the fiscal year. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Meridian and Aon pursuant to applicable SEC rules and NYSE listing standards and has concluded that the independent consultants' work for the Compensation Committee does not raise any conflict of interest.

#### Peer Group Determination and Benchmarking
To ensure Adtalem continues to provide total executive compensation that is fair and competitively positioned in the marketplace, the Compensation Committee reviews the pay level, mix and practices of peer group companies. The Compensation Committee does not target any specific percentile levels in establishing compensation levels and opportunities.

While including all large publicly held, private sector higher education organizations, Adtalem's peer group also includes a broader group of organizations to provide more comprehensive compensation data covering industries where Adtalem competes for executive talent.

| Adtalem's expanded peer group includes publicly held organizations that provide services over an extended period of time. | In consideration of Adtalem's significant focus on healthcare education, which requires attracting and retaining seasoned healthcare professionals and executives, the peer group includes healthcare services companies. | Revenue of most of the peer group organizations is generally between one-half and two times Adtalem's revenue. |

Section 4: Our Compensation Program and FY25 Results

#### ANNUAL BASE SALARY
Annual base salaries for NEOs are intended to reflect the scope of their responsibilities, the experience they bring to their roles and current market compensation for similar roles of other executives of companies that are peers of Adtalem. Once established, and under normal business conditions, base salaries are reviewed annually for adjustment to reflect the executive's prior performance and respond to changes in market conditions. The table below lists the seven criteria the Compensation Committee uses to determine changes to salary from one year to the next.

| **FY25 BASE SALARY RESULTS** |
| **FY25 BASE SALARY RESULTS** |
| Adtalem is committed to offering market competitive compensation to our key executives, including competitive base salaries. In FY25, the Board and/or the Compensation Committee maintained current base salary levels for Mr. Beard and all other NEOs, except for Mr. Phelan and Mr. Betz. <br>In 2024, the Board, based on the Compensation Committee's recommendation in consultation with Meridian, increased Mr. Phelan's base salary from $499,392 to $550,000. In February 2025, the Compensation Committee increased Mr. Betz's base salary from $550,800 to $650,000. The base salary of Mr. Phelan was increased by 10% to better align his salary with market competitive pay for other CFOs within our peer group, and the base salary of Mr. Betz was increased by 18% in connection with his expanded responsibilities as Chief Digital Officer, in addition to his role as President of Walden University. |

The target award opportunity for Mr. Betz was increased from 75% of base salary in FY24 to 80% of base salary in FY25 in connection with his dual role as President of Walden University and Chief Digital Officer. <br>For FY25, the financial performance measures for the MIP and the weightings of such measures were Adtalem revenue (45%) and adjusted earnings per share (55%) for Mr. Beard, Mr. Phelan, and Mr. Beck, and institution revenue (60%) and institution adjusted operating income (40%) for Mr. Betz and Mr. Liles. The financial performance measures were unchanged from FY24. In addition, there was no change to the structure and application of the individual performance component of the MIP. The individual performance modifier can adjust the MIP award determined based on the financial performance results by a factor that can range from 0% to 125%. The weightings of the financial performance measures and the application of an individual performance modifier are intended to place emphasis on the financial performance results while continuing to incorporate individual performance into the MIP award. | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Creating a Strong Link to Pay-for-Performance**<br>We believe the MIP payouts made to our NEOs for FY25 support our executive compensation objective of pay-for-performance by rewarding our NEOs to the extent they met or exceeded pre-established financial and individual performance goals. |

| Actual MIP awards can be higher or lower than the target opportunity based on the results of each financial performance measure.

Individual performance goals that factor into the individual performance modifier reflect functional results and/or institution performance appropriate for the NEO, as well as academic outcomes, organizational strength, and the advancement of Adtalem's core values. Individual performance goals are designed to drive initiatives that support Adtalem's strategy and further align leadership with Adtalem's student-focused purpose.<br>The maximum amount of 250% of target aims to reward exceptional performance compared to expectations, over-delivery of strategic initiatives, and/or achievement of critical initiatives not contemplated at the time goals were set.<br>Actual earned MIP awards are determined after the fiscal year has ended and audited financial results have been completed (i.e., in the first quarter of the next fiscal year).

---

In measuring financial performance, the Compensation Committee may adjust results for certain unusual, non-recurring or other items to ensure the MIP rewards true operational performance as it is perceived by investors and as consistently measured. Appendix A details the adjustments made in the last three fiscal years.

In instances where an institution has not demonstrated performance commensurate with the potential award, the Compensation Committee may exercise negative discretion and reduce MIP payouts for individuals with oversight over the applicable institution. In the case of acquisitions and dispositions, the Compensation Committee generally does not include revenue, and corresponding earnings per share or operating income, in its evaluation of achievement against targets unless such expected revenue, and corresponding earnings per share or operating income, had been factored into the performance target. Similarly, revenue, and corresponding earnings per-share or operating income performance is typically adjusted for dispositions during the year.

The percentages assigned to the financial performance measures for each NEO for FY25 are as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| <br>**Name** | <br>**Adtalem**<br>**Revenue** | **Adtalem**<br>**Adj. Earnings**<br>**Per Share** | <br>**Institution**<br>**Revenue** | **Institution**<br>**Adj. Operating**<br>**Income** <sup>(1)</sup> |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The revenue and adjusted operating income for Mr. Betz was based on Walden University and the revenue and adjusted operating income for Mr. Liles was based on the Medical/Veterinary segment.

2025 Performance Goals

Financial goals set for our MIP participants are derived from Adtalem's fiscal year operating plans, which are recommended by Adtalem's executive management team and approved by the Board at the beginning of each fiscal year. For FY25, these plans translated to financial performance goals of $1,730 million of revenue and $6.04 of adjusted earnings per share.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Plan** | **Plan** | **Plan** |
| <br>**Metric** | **Threshold** | **Target** | **Maximum** |
| **Adtalem Revenue** | $1585 | $1730 | $2076 |
| **Adtalem Adjusted EPS** | $5.01 | $6.04 | $8.46 |

---

The FY25 revenue target under the MIP was $1,730 million, 9.2% higher than FY24 actual results of $1,585 million. This target reflected expected growth from all three reportable segments. The FY25 adjusted earnings per share target goal under the MIP was $6.04, 20.6% higher than FY24 actual results of $5.01.

The Compensation Committee considers the company's performance goals to represent the best estimate of what the organization could deliver if management, individually and collectively, were to materially satisfy its goals and objectives for the year. All goals are designed to be aggressive yet achievable, with the expectation that it would take extraordinary performance on the part of management to exceed them to the extent necessary to yield maximum incentive payouts under the MIP. Revenue and EPS maximums under the FY25 MIP plan were set more aggressively than in FY24 to reflect our enhanced performance expectations at both the enterprise and institution levels.

The Compensation Committee approves individual performance goals and objectives for the CEO at the beginning of each fiscal year. The CEO also works collaboratively with the other NEOs in developing their respective individual performance goals and in assigning weightings to such goals to place additional emphasis on higher priorities. Individual performance goals are factors in determining base salary adjustments, annual cash incentive compensation, and future awards of long-term incentive compensation. Individual performance goals intentionally include elements that can be rated objectively as well as, to a lesser extent, elements that are of a subjective nature. Individual performance goals are used to drive stretch performance across a broad range of areas considered critical to our strategy and purpose. This mix of objective and subjective criteria allows the evaluator — the independent members of the Board in the case of the CEO, and the CEO with input and approval from the Compensation Committee in the case of the other NEOs — to assess the individual's performance against objective criteria, while utilizing his or her discretion to make adjustments based on the individual's perceived contributions and other subjective criteria.

A summary of the primary FY25 individual performance goals and objectives established for each of our NEOs follows:

FY25 MIP Decisions

Based on an evaluation of organizational performance relative to MIP measures set at the beginning of FY25, the final MIP awards for Mr. Beard, Mr. Phelan and Mr. Beck were based on the following financial results, as adjusted for special items described in Appendix A:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Adtalem achieved 103.4% performance relative to Plan which resulted in a payout of 116.9 % for the FY25 revenue component; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Adtalem achieved 110.4% performance relative to Plan which resulted in a payout of 126.1% for the FY25 adjusted earnings per share component.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● These results not only exceeded our targets established for the MIP, they also doubled the expectations set by our June 2023 investor day targets.

![Graphic](atge-20251112xdef14a_a081.jpg)

\* Adjusted results exclude impact of special items. See Appendix A for a reconciliation to reported results.

Based on an evaluation of institutional performance relative to MIP measures set at the beginning of FY25, the final MIP awards for Mr. Betz and Mr. Liles were based on the following financial results for Walden and Med/Vet, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Walden achieved 107.5% performance relative to Plan which resulted in a payout of 137.3% for the FY25 revenue component; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Walden achieved 115.5% performance relative to Plan which resulted in a payout of 138.9% for the FY25 adjusted operating income component.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Med/Vet achieved 99.9% performance relative to Plan which resulted in a payout of 98.8 % for the FY25 revenue component; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Med/Vet achieved 95.4% performance relative to Plan which resulted in a payout of 63.9% for the FY25 adjusted operating income component.

The table below shows the threshold, target, and maximum goals for revenue and adjusted earnings per share under the FY25 MIP, the performance achieved, and the resulting payout. Because we believe that the Walden and Med/Vet revenue and operating income targets utilized for the MIP are competitively sensitive and that their disclosure would result in competitive harm, they are not disclosed. The Compensation Committee considered the ability to meet or exceed these segment-level targets to be at least as challenging as the performance targets for the Company as a whole.

Final MIP award calculations also took into consideration evaluations of individual performance for each NEO during the fiscal year. In the case of each of the NEOs, including Mr. Beard, the MIP award calculations included the application of an individual performance modifier which were 125% for Mr. Beard, 95% for Mr. Phelan, 100% for Mr. Beck, 125% for Mr. Betz, and 110% for Mr. Liles. The independent directors, in the case of Mr. Beard, and the Compensation Committee, in the case of the other NEOs and taking into account the recommendations of Mr. Beard, determined that the individual performance modifiers were appropriate based on the individual performance and contributions of each of the NEOs in FY25 as described below. Based on all of these applicable factors, the Compensation Committee approved the following MIP awards to the NEOs :

In reviewing Mr. Beard's performance, the independent members of the Board conducted a comprehensive evaluation against each of his individual goals and industry peers and norms. The Board determined that the application of a 125% individual performance modifier was not only warranted, but essential given the exceptional financial, operational and strategic results achieved during FY25. This modifier reflects Mr. Beard's leadership in delivering performance that significantly exceeded the Board's ambitious targets, while simultaneously leading industry benchmarks and peer comparisons across all key metrics.

The Board's assessment recognized that Mr. Beard's execution of the GwP strategy represented a transformational achievement that marked a critical inflection point in Adtalem's growth trajectory. His leadership drove results that validated the compound benefits of years of strategic foundation-laying while positioning the company as a systemically important partner to the U.S. healthcare system. The exceptional nature of these accomplishments, detailed below, demonstrates the caliber of leadership that distinguishes Adtalem in the marketplace and creates sustained value for all stakeholders.

**Proposal No. 3 Say-on-pay: Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers ("NEOs")**

#### Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Long-term incentive compensation at Adtalem consists of different forms of equity-based awards. A significant portion of the equity-based awards granted under the annual long-term incentive program (60% of the executive officers' annual awards) is granted in the form of PSUs with the remaining 40% granted in the form of RSUs. The Compensation Committee targets the value of long-term incentive compensation for NEOs to represent a substantial percentage of their total compensation opportunity. These incentives are intended to serve three complementary objectives of our compensation program:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1** | Align executives' long-term interests with those of our shareholders; |
| **1** | Align executives' long-term interests with those of our shareholders; |
| **2** | Drive achievement of and reward executives for the delivery of long-term business results; and |
| **2** | Drive achievement of and reward executives for the delivery of long-term business results; and |
| **3** | Promote long-term retention of key executives who are critical to our operations. |
| **3** | Promote long-term retention of key executives who are critical to our operations. |

---

In FY26, we expect an even more significant portion of long-term incentive compensation for our executive officers to be tied to performance. The Board intends that FY26 equity awards for the CEO will be comprised of 100% PSUs, and that FY26 awards for other NEOs will be comprised of 70% PSUs. This will further enhance the connection between pay and long-term performance and will align leaders' interests more closely to those of our shareholders and other key stakeholders.

How the Long-Term Incentive Plan Works

The Compensation Committee granted equity-based awards to each of the NEOs, including Mr. Beard, in November 2024 in the form of RSUs and PSUs based on both retrospective and prospective considerations and organizational and individual considerations. The grants were made in November 2024 to give the leadership team and the Compensation Committee time to complete Adtalem's long-term strategic plan and set goals that would achieve the long-term strategic plan and that properly aligned management and shareholder interests. The Compensation Committee considered the same seven criteria described in the "Annual Base Salary Review" section above in determining the amount of these awards. Annual equity awards were delivered through a mix of RSUs and PSUs to provide a reasonable balance to the equity portfolio. All of the NEOs, including Mr. Beard, received an equity-based award with 60% of the long-term incentive opportunity granted as PSUs and 40% of the long-term incentive opportunity granted as RSUs.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ***Restricted Stock Units (RSUs):*** RSUs align the interests of management with those of shareholders and reward long-term value creation. To promote retention, RSUs vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the NEO's continuous service at Adtalem. <br>***Performance Share Units (PSUs):*** PSUs are designed to reward strong performance based on two financial performance measures. For FY25, the Compensation Committee again selected revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin as the financial performance measures to focus executives on growth and profitability. In FY25, PSUs granted to the NEOs were split equally among these two financial performance measures. These PSUs vest after three years based on the achievement of revenue growth and EBITDA margin performance as compared to the goals set by the Compensation Committee based on performance averaged over the three-year period. The goals for the PSUs are based on the multi-year strategic plan. In some cases, stretch goals are built in to help bridge to anticipated future year targets to ensure we are appropriately working towards our long-term strategic plan.  | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Focusing on Long-Term Results**<br>The Compensation Committee believes that long-term equity compensation is an important retention tool and, therefore, chose to use a three-year ratable vesting schedule for grants of RSUs and a three-year cliff vesting schedule for PSUs, to encourage longer-term focus and retention. |

Payouts from FY23 PSU Awards

PSU awards granted to Mr. Beard, Mr. Phelan, Mr. Beck, and Mr. Betz in November 2022 vested in August 2025. The PSU awards were split evenly between revenue growth and EBITDA margin targets over the three-year performance period. Mr. Liles did not receive similar PSUs in November 2022 because he was not employed at Adtalem at the time.

For the November 2022 PSUs, the payout earned for revenue growth was 200.0% of the target number of PSUs granted, reflecting a 3-year actual average revenue growth of 7.16%, and the payout earned for EBITDA margin was 86.0% of the target number of PSUs granted, reflecting a 3-year actual average EBITDA margin of 24.4%. Based on these results, the combined weighted payout for the November 2022 PSUs was 143%. The tables below show the performance measures and targets established for the November 2022 PSUs, the performance achieved, and the resulting payout.

Payouts from Special Supplemental Long-Term Incentive Program

In connection with GwP, the Compensation Committee provided supplemental compensation opportunities to a select group of Adtalem employees to motivate and reward the successful execution of GwP, a multi-year, operational excellence-focused strategy designed to accelerate Adtalem's performance and extend its dominant market position. To further this objective — and to strengthen the alignment of management's and shareholders' interests and motivate and retain personnel critical to the execution of GwP — the Compensation Committee approved a special supplemental incentive program, the GwP Incentive Program, in early FY24. The program was designed to reward participating employees for achieving specific transformation initiatives and superior financial results that would result in a step change in the organic growth trajectory of the business and value of the company for which there is no recent precedent in Adtalem's history. The GwP transformation strategy seeks to drive significantly higher enrollment, expand the scale of Adtalem's educational platform, deliver record levels of profitability and drive substantial long-term value creation for shareholders.

For management to earn these supplemental compensation opportunities, Adtalem would need to deliver industry-leading financial results, exceeding those which would be generated by achievement of the FY23 PSU targets alone. We are pleased to have delivered these exceptional results at the end of FY25.

The GwP Incentive Program for our NEOs was based on a two-year performance period covering FY24 and FY25. Each of Adtalem's current executive officers, including Mr. Beard and the other NEOs, were participants in this program, which provided for a grant of PSUs equal in value to 50% of the executive officer's FY24 annual long-term incentive award target opportunity as shown in the table below. For any executive officer hired after the initial grant date, such officer received a pro-rated PSU award based on date of hire.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) PSUs were granted on August 23, 2023 based on Adtalem share price of $42.98 for Mr. Beard, Mr. Phelan, Mr. Beck, and Mr. Betz. The PSUs were granted to Mr. Liles on April 15, 2024, based on Adtalem share price of $45.59, and prorated based on program entry date.

In designing the GwP Incentive Program, the Compensation Committee intended to incentivize management to substantially increase the company's revenue and adjusted EBITDA above the company's historical level of performance and above the already-ambitious targets set by the regular PSU program. The Compensation Committee intended that this substantial increase in performance would lead to a commensurate increase in the value of the company. The Compensation Committee elected to grant the awards to executive officers solely in PSUs to drive performance, strengthen alignment with shareholders, support enhanced share ownership and be consistent with the Compensation Committee's focus on pay-for-performance.

To that end, PSUs were earned based on the achievement of two equally weighted measures: revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin. Payouts were based upon actual financial performance as measured following the completion of FY25 and vested on August 23, 2025. All PSUs granted to executive officers were earned for delivery of results that exceeded the target performance criteria for the award.

As with the PSUs that are granted annually under Adtalem's long-term incentive program, the PSUs granted under the GwP Incentive Program provided for no payout if actual financial performance was below threshold and for an increased payout if financial performance was above target (up to 200% of the target number of PSUs granted). Although the financial performance measures for the GwP Incentive Program PSUs are similar to those for the annual PSUs that were granted in FY23, the GwP Incentive Program was designed to be supplemental to the annual PSU program and, accordingly, was based on the achievement of highly challenging performance goals that reflected substantially higher levels of revenue and adjusted EBITDA as of the end of FY25 versus the levels implied by the targets set for the FY23-25 PSUs.

For participants to receive a payout of the PSUs granted to them under the GwP Incentive Program, Adtalem's financial performance for revenue and adjusted EBITDA had to exceed the already-ambitious goals implied by those annual PSUs, which were set prior to implementation of our GwP strategy, and achieve the even higher level of performance implied by the goals under the GwP Incentive Program.

For the GwP supplemental awards, the actual revenue achievement exceeded the plan maximum by $74 million, which resulted in a payout of 200% of the target number of Revenue PSUs granted. The actual adjusted EBITDA margin achievement exceeded target by 100 bps, which resulted in a payout of 171% of the target number of Adjusted EBITDA margin PSUs granted. Based on these results, the combined weighted payout for the GwP PSUs was 186%. The tables below show the performance measures and targets established for the GwP PSUs, the performance achieved and the resulting payout.

**Proposal No. 3 Say-on-pay: Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers ("NEOs")**

During the GwP performance period of FY24 and FY25, Adtalem generated over $200 million in incremental revenue and over $28 million in incremental adjusted EBITDA above what it would have generated during that period had management achieved the maximum payout level of the regular FY23-25 PSU's. Revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth from FY23 to FY25 are even more dramatic: $337 million in incremental revenue and $120 million in incremental adjusted EBITDA.

During the GwP performance period, the market capitalization of Adtalem grew from $1.45 billion to $4.65 billion—a more than threefold increase. This exceptional performance translated directly to shareholders: a $100 investment in Adtalem's equity has delivered extraordinary returns, generating a five-year cumulative total return of +297% for an ending value of $397 on June 30, 2025. The GwP Incentive Program incentivized management to achieve this superior level of performance.

The GwP Incentive Program was specifically designed to drive superior performance by incentivizing management to lead our successful strategic transformation focused on achieving key operational and financial targets by the end of FY25- the pivotal year within our multi-year business transformation.

The Compensation Committee views the GwP Incentive Program as an appropriate structure aligned to support Adtalem's current strategic objectives and align executive compensation results with the outstanding results achieved for shareholders.

Section 5: Other Compensation Programs and Policies

#### Deferred Compensation
Adtalem maintains the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan that allows certain employees, including the NEOs, to defer up to 50% of salary and 100% of the MIP compensation until termination of service or certain other specified dates. Adtalem credits matching contributions to participants' accounts to the extent they have elected to defer the maximum contributions under Adtalem's Retirement Plan, which is a 401(k) plan, and their matching contributions are limited by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") provisions.

The Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan enables the NEOs and other eligible employees with a certain level of annual compensation to save a portion of their income for retirement on a scale consistent with other employees not subject to IRS limits.

Adtalem has elected to fund its Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan obligations through a rabbi trust. The rabbi trust is subject to creditor claims in the event of an insolvency, but the assets held in the rabbi trust are not available for general corporate purposes. Participants have an unsecured contractual commitment by Adtalem to pay the amounts due under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan.

The value of deferred compensation amounts is quantified each year, and this program is periodically reviewed for its competitiveness.

#### Other Benefits
NEOs are eligible to participate in a number of broad-based benefit programs, which are the same ones offered to most employees at Adtalem, including health, disability, and life insurance programs.

We do not offer a defined benefit pension plan, and, therefore, our Retirement Plan and the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan are the only retirement savings vehicles for executives.

In general, we do not provide benefits or perquisites to our NEOs that are not available to other employees, with the exception of personal financial planning services, executive physicals and a parking benefit.

Benefits and perquisites make up the smallest portion of each NEO's total compensation package. The nature and quantity of perquisites provided by Adtalem did not change materially in FY25 versus 2024, consistent with our philosophy that benefits and perquisites should not represent a meaningful component of our compensation program. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the benefit and perquisite program to determine if adjustments are appropriate.

The "All Other Compensation" column of the 2025 Summary Compensation Table shows the amounts of benefit and perquisite compensation we provided for FY23, FY24, and FY25 to each of the NEOs.

#### Employment Agreements
Adtalem has entered into employment agreements with each NEO that provide for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Initial annual base salary, subject to annual increases (no decreases except in the case of an across-the-board reduction affecting all executives equally);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Annual cash incentive opportunity under the MIP, targeted at a percentage of base salary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Eligibility to receive annual equity awards under Adtalem's equity award plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Reimbursement of expenses consistent with Adtalem's policy in effect at the time; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Severance benefits that will be provided upon certain terminations of employment, as further described on page 69 under the caption "2025 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control."

&nbsp;&nbsp;**Employment Agreements**<br>Employment agreements provide NEOs with a defined level of financial protection upon loss of employment. Adtalem believes that providing for such income continuity facilitates the hiring of qualified executives and results in greater management stability and lower unwanted management turnover.<br>The Compensation Committee believes that the employment agreements provide:<br>● Security and incentives that help retain and attract top executives;<br>● Greater ability for Adtalem to retain key executives following an extraordinary corporate transaction; and<br>● Benefits to Adtalem, including non-competition and non-solicitation covenants by NEOs.<br>

#### Separation Agreements

#### Change-in-Control
Adtalem provides benefits to its NEOs upon termination of employment from Adtalem in specific circumstances. These benefits are in addition to the benefits to which these NEOs would be generally entitled upon a termination of employment (e.g., vested retirement benefits accrued as of the date of termination, stock-based awards that are vested as of the date of termination and the right to elect continued health coverage pursuant to COBRA). In addition, Adtalem's equity compensation plans, and the award agreements used to implement them, provide for accelerated vesting of outstanding equity awards in the event of a change-in-control of Adtalem, only in the event (a) Adtalem (or its successor) ceases to be publicly traded, (b) the successor to Adtalem fails to assume outstanding awards or to issue new awards in replacement of outstanding awards, or (c) if the participant is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within two years following the change-in-control.

See "2025 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control" beginning on page 69 for a detailed description of potential payments and benefits to the NEOs under Adtalem's compensation plans and arrangements upon termination of employment or a change of control of Adtalem.

#### OTHER EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION CONSIDERATIONS AND POLICIES

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Stock Ownership Guidelines**<br>Stock ownership guidelines have been in place for our directors and executive officers since 2010 and are intended to align their interests with our shareholders by requiring them to maintain a significant ownership interest in the company. Each of our non-employee directors are expected to maintain ownership of Adtalem Common Stock valued at or equal to five times their annual retainer.<br>For FY25, required ownership levels for the CEO and all other executive officers, except for the CFO, were increased to foster enhanced alignment with shareholder interests. The stock ownership guideline for the CEO was increased from 5 times base salary to 8 times base salary, and the stock ownership guideline for the other executive officers, except for the CFO, was increased from 1 ½ to 3 times base salary (to align with the existing guideline for the CFO). The current guidelines are summarized in the table below: | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Linking Compensation to Stock Performance**<br>Stock ownership guidelines tie the compensation of the NEOs to our stock performance, since the increase or decrease in our stock price impacts their personal holdings. Currently, all NEOs and directors who are no longer subject to a phase-in period have met the minimum ownership requirements. |

The current guidelines are summarized in the table below: |  |

---

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Position** | **NEOs** | **Number of Shares Equivalent to:** |
| Chief Executive Officer | Stephen W. Beard | 8 times base salary |
| Chief Financial Officer | Robert J. Phelan | 3 times base salary |
| All other executive officers  | Douglas G. Beck,<br>Michael Betz and Scott Liles | 3 times base salary |

---

Our directors and executive officers have five years following their initial election, date of appointment or promotion to an executive officer position, as the case may be, to achieve their stock ownership level.

Shares that count toward satisfaction of the guidelines include Adtalem's Common Stock directly and/or beneficially owned, Adtalem's Common Stock held in Adtalem's Retirement Plan, Adtalem's Common Stock held in Adtalem's Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, and the pre-tax value of unvested RSUs. Shares that do not count towards satisfaction of the guidelines include unvested PSUs and stock options.

Our stock ownership guidelines are deemed to continue to be met by an individual who has achieved the required ownership level but then falls below solely due to a decline in Adtalem's stock price. Absent extenuating circumstances, executives who have not yet met the guidelines at the end of their five-year phase-in period are required to retain, until the guidelines are satisfied, 100% of the after-tax shares received from option exercises or the vesting of RSUs or PSUs.

#### Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy
In November 2023, in accordance with NYSE listing rules, our Compensation Committee and Board adopted our Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy (the "Recovery Policy"). The Recovery Policy provides that we will seek to recover, on a no-fault basis, erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by any current or former executive officer during the three-year period preceding the date on which we are required to prepare an accounting restatement (i) due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or (ii) that corrects an error that is not material to previously issued financial statements, but would result in a material misstatement if the error were not corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**Proposal No. 3 Say-on-pay: Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers ("NEOs")**

In addition, our Recovery Policy permits recovery of incentive compensation if an officer violates a restrictive covenant or causes reputational damage to the Company. Although this goes beyond what is required by the SEC and NYSE, it further protects the Company and its shareholders. The Board retains sole discretion whether to seek recoupment in these instances.

The full text of our Recovery Policy can be found at atge_incentive_compensation_recovery_policy_nov2023.pdf (adtalem.com). It can also be found as Exhibit 97.1 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

In addition, our equity award agreements authorize the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion to recoup from any officer receiving an equity award the portion of an award that was granted, vested, otherwise settled based on financial results that were restated due to the conduct of the officer that was knowing, intentionally fraudulent or illegal.

#### Deductibility of Compensation
Adtalem analyzes the overall expense arising from aggregate executive compensation, as well as the accounting and tax treatment of such programs. Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a tax deduction to publicly traded companies for certain compensation in excess of $1 million per year paid to "covered employees." "Covered employees" include the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and the three other most highly compensated officers. Historically, the company's compensation plans were structured so that compensation would be performance-based and deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code. However, The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 eliminated the performance-based compensation exemption from the Section 162(m) $1 million per year dollar deduction limit, with an exception for certain "grandfathered agreements" in effect on November 2, 2017.

Although the Compensation Committee has not adopted a formal policy regarding tax deductibility of compensation paid to our executive officers, it continues to view deductibility as one of many factors to be considered in the context of its overall compensation philosophy. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee reserves the right to approve as it deems appropriate and in the best interests of Adtalem compensation arrangements for executive officers that are not fully deductible.

#### Compensation Risk Analysis
The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Meridian as its consultant, conducted an annual assessment of our compensation program to ensure it does not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking that could have an adverse effect on Adtalem.

The risk assessment covered all compensation programs, including those in which our top executives and NEOs participate.

Through this process, the Compensation Committee concluded that Adtalem's compensation programs do not encourage behaviors that could create material risk to the organization. More specifically, the Compensation Committee concluded that:

---

|:---|:---|
| **1** | Adtalem's compensation programs are well-designed to encourage behaviors aligned with the long-term interests of shareholders and to align pay with organizational and individual performance. |

Prohibition on Hedging and Pledging

Our insider trading policy, which governs trading in our securities by our directors, officers and employees, and is designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules, and regulations, and applicable exchange listing standards, also prohibits employees and directors from engaging in any transaction that is designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of equity securities issued by Adtalem. In addition, except as expressly approved by our general counsel, employees and directors may not hold Adtalem securities in a margin account or pledge Adtalem securities as collateral for a loan. None of our executive officers or directors have requested approval to hold Adtalem securities in a margin account or to pledge Adtalem securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) This column shows the salaries paid by Adtalem to its NEOs in fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023. The following NEOs have elected to defer a portion of their salaries under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan: Mr. Beard ($420,502.55 for 2025, $169,322 for 2024, and $120,823 for 2023); Mr. Beck $120,692.82 for 2025, $56,228 for 2024, and $45,589 for 2023); and Mr. Betz ($215,483.43 for 2025 and $16,524 for 2024). Amounts shown are inclusive of these deferrals. The base salaries shown in 2025 and 2024 reflect 26 pay periods and the base salaries shown in 2023 reflect 27 pay periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) This column includes the $250,000 sign-on bonus paid to Mr. Betz in FY25 for taking on the increased responsibilities and new role as Chief Digital Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The amounts reported in the Stock Awards column represents the grant date fair value of awards of both RSUs and PSUs, which is an estimated value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The assumptions used for fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023 calculations can be found at Note 15: Stock-Based Compensation to our audited financial statements in Adtalem's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, and Note 18: Stock-Based Compensation to our audited financial statements in Adtalem's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The grant date fair values of the PSUs are based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions to which the PSUs are subject, and the shares the recipient would receive under such outcome. The 2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards shows the values of PSU awards, assuming that the highest levels of the performance conditions are achieved. The grant date fair value of the 2025 annual PSUs is $89.85. The grant date fair value of the PSU awards assuming achievement of maximum performance would be: Mr. Beard – $16,798,356; Mr. Phelan – $1,139,300; Mr. Beck – $643,328; Mr. Betz – $826,620; and Mr. Liles – $805,056.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The MIP compensation reported in this column was earned in fiscal years 2025, 2024, and 2023 and paid in fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively, based upon the MIP guidelines. Mr. Beard has elected to defer a portion of his MIP compensation under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan ($190,562.50), Mr. Beck ($45,742.83), Mr. Betz ($179,322), and Mr. Liles ($361,353.57). In addition to the MIP shown in this column, Mr. Phelan, and Mr. Beck each received $100,000 in FY23 and $160,000 in FY24, and Mr. Betz received $160,000 in FY24 related to the value capture bonus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) The amounts indicated in the "all other compensation" column for 2025 include the following:

● Matching contributions credited under the Retirement Plan for Mr. Beard ($16,153.83); Mr. Phelan ($21,602.94); Mr. Beck ($20,700); Mr. Betz ($24,222.12); and Mr. Liles ($31,863.42).

● Company contributions credited under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan for Mr. Beard ($199,293.77); Mr. Beck ($53,693.94); and Mr. Betz ($71,834.41), as well as tax gross-up payments related to the Company's administrative error in the operation of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan in the amount of ($104,810) for Mr. Beard and ($31,741) for Mr. Beck.

● Group life insurance premiums paid by Adtalem for Mr. Beard ($1,242); Mr. Phelan ($2,934); Mr. Beck ($2,322); Mr. Betz ($1,242); and Mr. Liles ($2,943).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Payouts under the MIP were based on performance in FY25. Therefore, the information in the "Threshold," "Target," and "Maximum" columns reflect the range of potential payouts when the performance goals were set on August 21, 2024. The amounts actually paid under the MIP for FY25 appear in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column of the 2025 Summary Compensation Table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Pursuant to the MIP, performance below a performance goal threshold will result in no payment with respect to that performance goal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The amount shown in this column represents the target incentive payment under the MIP, which is calculated as a set percentage of base salary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Pursuant to the MIP, the amount shown in this column represents the maximum incentive payment, 250% of the target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) PSUs were granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan. The PSUs granted on November 13, 2024 were the regular annual PSUs based on the performance period FY25 through fiscal year 2027. The awards consist of 50% with a target based on revenue growth over a period of three fiscal years and 50% with a target based on EBITDA margin. PSUs will pay out 0% for below threshold performance, and between 50% of target payout for threshold performance and 200% of target for achieving maximum performance or above. Straight-line interpolation will be used to determine achievement between threshold and target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) This column shows the grant date fair value of RSUs and PSUs (assuming payout at target value) granted on November 13, 2024 in FY25, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, which was $89.85 for RSUs and annual PSUs.

**Executive Compensation Tables**

#### NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan covers directors and selected key employees approved for participation by the Compensation Committee. All of the NEOs are eligible to participate in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan as it applies to employees, participants may make an advance election to defer up to 50% of salary and up to 100% of MIP compensation until termination of service with Adtalem or certain other specified dates. Adtalem credits matching contributions to participants' accounts under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan to the extent they have elected to defer the maximum amount under Adtalem's Retirement Plan, and their matching contributions to the Retirement Plan are limited by applicable Code provisions. Adtalem may also credit participants' accounts with discretionary contributions. Participants are fully vested in their own deferral and matching contributions, plus earnings, and will vest in discretionary contributions, if any, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Participants may elect to have their Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan accounts credited with earnings based on various investment choices made available by the Compensation Committee for this purpose. Participants may elect to have account balances paid in a lump sum or in installments. Distributions are generally made or commence in January of the year following termination of employment (but not earlier than six months after termination) or January of the year in which the specified payment date occurs. In the event of death before benefits commence, participants' accounts will be paid to their beneficiaries in a lump sum.

#### 2025 POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
Adtalem provides benefits to the NEOs upon termination of employment from Adtalem in specific circumstances. These benefits are in addition to the benefits to which these NEOs would be generally entitled upon a termination of employment (i.e., vested retirement benefits accrued as of the date of termination, stock-based awards that are vested as of the date of termination and the right to elect continued health coverage pursuant to COBRA). In addition, Adtalem's equity compensation plans and the stock award agreements used to implement them provide for accelerated vesting of outstanding stock awards in the event of a change-in-control of Adtalem, only in the event (a) Adtalem (or its successor) ceases to be publicly traded, (b) the successor to Adtalem fails to assume outstanding awards or to issue new awards in replacement of outstanding awards, or (c) if the participant is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within two years following the change-in-control.

Employment Agreements

#### MR. BEARD
Adtalem entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Beard effective as of his September 8, 2021 appointment as President and CEO. The employment agreement provides, among other things, that if his employment is terminated by Adtalem without "cause" or by Mr. Beard with "good reason," and if he executes a release of claims, he will be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to 12 months of base salary and a prorated MIP award based on actual performance for the fiscal year and paid in a lump sum at the same time MIP awards are paid to other employees.

If such termination of employment occurs within 12 months of a "change-in-control," and he executes a release of claims, he will be entitled to (i) a lump sum payment equal to two times base salary and the average of the MIP award paid to him for the prior two fiscal years; and (ii) accelerated vesting of all outstanding stock options.

#### OTHER NEO s
During FY25, Adtalem was party to similar employment arrangements with each of the other NEOs: Mr. Phelan, Mr. Beck, Mr. Betz, and Mr. Liles. These employment agreements provide, among other things, that if the NEO's employment with Adtalem is terminated by Adtalem without "cause" or by the NEO with "good reason," and the NEO executes a release of claims, then the NEO will be entitled to the following benefits:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● One times the sum of their base salary plus target MIP award, payable in 12 equal monthly payments for Mr. Phelan, Mr. Betz, and Mr. Liles, and one and one-half times the sum of their base salary plus target MIP award, payable in 18 equal monthly payments for Mr. Beck;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● A pro-rated MIP award (if employed for at least six months in the fiscal year during which termination occurs) based on actual performance for the relevant fiscal year, paid in a lump sum at the time MIP awards are paid to other employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● 12 months of continued health benefit plan coverage for Mr. Phelan, Mr. Betz, and Mr. Liles, and 18 months for Mr. Beck;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Access to a senior executive level outplacement program for 6 months for Mr. Phelan, Mr. Betz, and Mr. Liles and 9 months for Mr. Beck.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**Executive Compensation Tables**

In addition, the employment arrangements provide that if such termination occurs within 12 months of a "change-in-control", and the NEO executes a release of claims, then the NEO will be entitled to the following benefits:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● One and one-half times the sum of their base salary plus target MIP award, payable in 18 equal monthly payments for Mr. Phelan and Mr. Liles; 12 equal monthly payments for Mr. Betz; and two times the sum of his base salary plus target MIP award, payable in 24 equal monthly payments for Mr. Beck;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● A pro-rated MIP award (if employed for at least six months in the fiscal year during which termination occurs) based on actual performance for the relevant fiscal year, paid in a lump sum at the time MIP awards are paid to other employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● 18 months of continued health benefit plan coverage for Mr. Phelan, Mr. Betz and Mr. Liles, and 24 months for Mr. Beck at active employee rates following the termination date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Access to a senior executive level outplacement program for 9 months for Mr. Phelan, Mr. Betz, and Mr. Liles, and 12 months for Mr. Beck.

For purposes of all employment agreements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● "cause" means (i) the commission of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude or the commission of any other act or omission involving misappropriation, dishonesty, fraud, illegal drug use, or breach of fiduciary duty, (ii) willful failure to perform duties as reasonably directed by the CEO, (iii) the NEO's gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the performance of the NEO's duties under the employment agreement, (iv) obtaining any personal profit not fully disclosed to and approved by Adtalem's Board in connection with any transaction entered into by, or on behalf of, Adtalem, or (v) any other material breach of the employment agreement or any other agreement between the NEO and Adtalem;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● "change-in-control" shall have the meaning set forth in the 2013 Incentive Plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● "good reason" means, without the NEO's consent, (i) material diminution in title, duties, responsibilities or authority, (ii) reduction of base salary, MIP target, or employee benefits except for across-the-board changes for executives at the NEO's level, (iii) exclusion from executive benefit/compensation plans, (iv) material breach of the employment agreement that Adtalem has not cured within 30 days after the NEO has provided Adtalem notice of the material breach which shall be given within 60 days of the NEO's knowledge of the occurrence of the material breach, or (v) resignation in compliance with securities, corporate governance, or other applicable law (such as the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act) as specifically applicable to the NEO. For Mr. Beard, the definition of "good reason" also includes, without his consent, requiring him to relocate to an employment location more than 50 miles from his current employment location.

#### EQUITY AWARD PLANS
The equity award agreements under which options, RSUs, and PSUs are held by employees, including the NEOs, provide for the immediate vesting of unvested options and RSUs and of PSUs at the target levels in the event of a change-in-control of Adtalem, only in the event (a) Adtalem (or its successor) ceases to be publicly traded, (b) the successor to Adtalem fails to assume outstanding awards or to issue new awards in replacement of outstanding awards, or (c) if the participant is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within two years following the change-in-control.

The provisions of the equity award agreements under which options, RSUs, and PSUs were granted to employees, including the NEOs, provide the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● If the participant's employment is terminated due to death or disability (as defined in the agreement), options will become fully vested and exercisable for the remaining term of the option, RSUs will fully vest, and PSUs will continue to vest in accordance with their terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● If the participant's employment terminates due to mutual agreement, the participant will be credited with one additional year of service for the purpose of determining vesting of options, RSUs, and PSUs. The participant's options will remain exercisable until the earlier of one year from termination or the expiration of the term of the option. PSUs that vest following a termination will be paid out when paid out to other PSU recipients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● For awards granted prior to September 2024,if the participant's employment terminates due to retirement, options will continue to vest and be exercisable, and RSUs and PSUs will continue to vest in accordance with their respective terms. Retirement means the participant's termination without cause after age 55 when the sum of his or her age and full years of service equals or exceeds 65. For awards granted in September 2024 and later, the definition of retirement was revised to require the participant to give notice of retirement no later than November 15th of the calendar year prior to the calendar year of retirement, in addition to meeting the noted age and service requirements.

In August 2017, the Board adopted double-trigger vesting of equity awards as part of the 2013 Incentive Plan. In November 2017, Adtalem's shareholders approved the Fourth Amended 2013 Incentive Plan. As a result, vesting of equity awards granted since November 2017 (the "Awards") will accelerate upon a change-in-control only in the event Adtalem (or its successor) ceases to be publicly traded, or the successor to Adtalem fails to assume outstanding Awards or to issue new awards in replacement of outstanding Awards. Under the double-trigger vesting rules, Awards will vest if a participant is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within two years following a change-in-control. All awards issued prior to shareholder approval in November 2017 will continue to have a single-trigger vesting rules as described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Termination of employment without cause or for good reason.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The value of the unvested stock options is based on the difference between the exercise price and $127.23 (the closing market price of the Common Stock on June 30, 2025). The value of the RSUs and PSUs is based on the closing market price of the Common Stock on June 30, 2025. PSUs vest at the target level.

#### CEO PAY RATIO
Pursuant to Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S- K, we are required to disclose the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (except our CEO) and the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO as disclosed in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table, to the annual total compensation of our median employee.

For FY25, we identified the median employee by comparing the annual salary rate of pay for all individuals, excluding our CEO, who were employed by Adtalem on June 23, 2025 using information from our company payroll system. We included all full-time and part-time employees, including adjunct faculty and federal work-study student workers. Compensation was annualized for all employees who were hired by us in FY25 but did not work for us for the entire year. No annualization was applied to any adjunct faculty as permitted under the rules. FY25 annual total compensation for the median employee was calculated in the same manner as reflected in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table for our CEO.

Based on the methodology described above, we have determined that FY25 annual total compensation of our median employee was $50,603 The annual total compensation of our CEO for FY25 was $17,244,988. The ratio of our CEO's FY25 annual total compensation to the FY25 annual total compensation of our median employee is 341:1.

This CEO pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules. The CEO pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to our CEO pay ratio reported above, because SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to use different methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices.

#### APPROVAL BY SHAREHOLDERS
We believe our executive compensation program achieves our compensation principles, properly aligns the interests of our NEOS and our shareholders, and is deserving of shareholder support. For these reasons, the Board recommends that the shareholders vote in favor of the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Adtalem Global Education Inc. named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and any other related disclosures is hereby APPROVED."

Approval of this proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock of Adtalem represented at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be treated as a vote AGAINST the proposal, while broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes represented and entitled to vote and, therefore, will have no effect on the result of the vote for this proposal. See VOTING INFORMATION – Effect of Not Casting Your Vote. If you sign and return your proxy card but give no direction or complete the telephonic or internet voting procedures but do not specify how you want to vote your shares, the shares will be voted **FOR** approval of the compensation paid to our named executive officers during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

The vote approving the compensation paid to our NEOs during 2025 is advisory and not binding on the Company, the Board, or the Compensation Committee of the Board. However, the Compensation Committee of the Board expects to take into account the outcome of the vote as it considers our executive compensation program.

#### PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

#### PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE TABLE

Voting at the Annual Meeting

The way you vote your shares prior to the Annual Meeting will not limit your right to change your vote at the Annual Meeting if you attend virtually and vote by ballot. If you hold shares in street name and you want to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid legal proxy from the record holder of your shares at the close of business on the record date indicating that you were a beneficial owner of shares, as well as the number of shares of which you were the beneficial owner, on the record date, and appointing you as the record holder's proxy to vote these shares. You should contact your bank, broker, or other intermediary for specific instructions on how to obtain a legal proxy.

Record Date

You may vote all shares of Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on September 23, 2025, which is the record date for the Annual Meeting. On the record date, we had 36,331,234 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

**Additional Information**

Submitting A Question at the Annual Meeting

You may submit a question before the meeting or during the meeting via our virtual shareholder meeting website, www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ATGE2025. In light of the number of business items on the meeting agenda and the need to conclude the meeting within a reasonable period of time, we cannot ensure that every shareholder who wishes to have a question or comment addressed during the meeting will be able to do so. We also reserve the right to exclude questions that relate to personal matters or are not relevant to meeting matters.

Technical Difficulties During the Annual Meeting

If we experience technical difficulties during the Annual Meeting (e.g., a temporary or prolonged power outage or technical failure), our Chairman will determine whether the meeting can be promptly reconvened (if the technical difficulty is temporary) or whether the meeting will need to be reconvened on a later date (if the technical difficulty is more prolonged). In any situation, we will promptly notify shareholders of the decision via www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ATGE2025.

If you encounter technical difficulties accessing our Annual Meeting or asking questions during the Annual Meeting, a support line will be available on the login page of the virtual shareholder meeting website: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ATGE2025.

Ownership of Shares

You may own shares of Common Stock in one or more of the following ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Directly in your name as the shareholder of record, including shares purchased through our Colleague Stock Purchase Plan or RSU awards issued to employees under our long-term incentive plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Indirectly through a broker, bank or other intermediary in "street name."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Indirectly through the Adtalem Stock Fund of our Retirement Plan.

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are the holder of record of these shares and we are sending proxy materials directly to you. As the holder of record, you have the right to give your proxy directly to our tabulating agent. If you hold your shares in street name, your broker, bank, or other intermediary is sending proxy materials to you and you may direct them how to vote on your behalf by completing the voting instruction form that accompanies your proxy materials.

Revocation of Proxies

You can revoke your proxy at any time before your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting if you:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Submit a written revocation to our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Submit a later-dated proxy or voting instruction form,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Provide subsequent telephone or internet voting instructions, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Vote virtually at the Annual Meeting.

**Additional Information**

#### VOTING INFORMATION
Effect of Not Casting Your Vote

If you hold your shares in street name, you will receive a voting instruction form that lets you instruct your bank, broker, or other nominee how to vote your shares. Under NYSE rules, brokers are permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority on "routine" matters when voting instructions are not received from a beneficial owner ten days prior to the shareholder meeting. The only "routine" matter on this year's Annual Meeting agenda is Proposal No. 2 (Ratify selection of PwC as independent registered public accounting firm).

If you hold your shares in street name, and you wish to have your shares voted on all matters in this Proxy Statement, please complete and return your voting instruction form. If you do not return your voting instruction form, your shares will not be voted on any matters with the exception that your broker may vote in its discretion on Proposal No. 2. If you are a shareholder of record and you do not cast your vote, your shares will not be voted on any of the proposals at the Annual Meeting, which will have no effect on the outcome of any of the proposals.

If you are the holder of record of your shares and you return your proxy to us by any of these means outlined above under the heading "Voting Instructions" without choices for any proposal, the proxy committee appointed by the Board will vote your shares on the unmarked proposals in accordance with the Board's recommendation. Abstentions, directions to withhold authority, and broker non-votes (when a named entity holds shares for a beneficial owner who has not provided voting instructions) will be considered present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of a quorum.

Quorum and Required Vote

We will have a quorum and will be able to conduct the business of the Annual Meeting if the holders of a majority of the votes that shareholders are entitled to cast are present at the Annual Meeting, either virtually or by proxy. At the 2025 Annual Meeting, to elect directors and adopt the other proposals, the following votes are required under our governing documents and Delaware corporate law:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **PROPOSAL** | **VOTE REQUIRED** | **EFFECT OF**<br>**ABSTENTION** | **EFFECT OF**<br>**BROKER NON-VOTE\*** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**1** | **Election of directors** | Approval of the majority of shares represented at the Annual Meeting | Treated as vote against | No effect on<br>the outcome |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**2** | **Ratify selection of PwC as independent**<br>**registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026\*** | Approval of the majority of shares represented at the Annual Meeting | Treated as<br>vote against | No effect on<br>the outcome |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**3** | **Advisory vote to approve the compensation**<br>**of our named executive officers\*\*** | Approval of the majority of shares represented at the Annual Meeting | Treated as<br>vote against | No effect on<br>the outcome |

---

\* A broker non-vote occurs when a broker submits a proxy but does not vote for an item because it is not a "routine" item and the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. As described under "Effect of Not Casting Your Vote" above, your broker may vote in its discretion only on Proposal No. 2 (Ratify selection of PwC as independent registered public accounting firm). Because brokers are entitled to vote on Proposal No. 2 without voting instructions from the beneficial owner, there will be no broker non-votes on this proposal.

\*\* Advisory/Non-binding. In accordance with Adtalem's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the shares represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be voted "FOR." Notwithstanding the foregoing, Adtalem will take into account the weight of investor support for the compensation for its NEOs based on the percentage of shares that are present at the meeting or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal that have voted "FOR" the proposal. In evaluating the weight of investor support for the compensation of Adtalem's NEOs, abstentions will be counted as shares present at the meeting and will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted as shares entitled to vote on the matter and will have no impact on the vote's outcome.

**Additional Information**

#### PROXY SOLICITATION
Officers and other employees or agents of Adtalem may solicit proxies by mail, personal interview, telephone, facsimile, electronic means, or via the internet without additional compensation. None of these individuals will receive special compensation for soliciting votes, which will be performed in addition to their regular duties, and some of them may not necessarily solicit proxies. Adtalem also has made arrangements with brokerage firms, banks, record holders, and other fiduciaries to forward proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares they hold on your behalf. Adtalem will reimburse these intermediaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We have hired Innisfree M&A Incorporated to help us distribute and solicit proxies. Adtalem will pay Innisfree $20,000 plus expenses for these services. Adtalem will pay the cost of all proxy solicitation.

#### SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2026 ANNUAL MEETING
Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in reliance on Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be received by Adtalem no later than June 4, 2026, to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy for the meeting. Any such proposal also must meet the other requirements of the rules of the SEC relating to shareholder proposals. Also, under Adtalem's By-Laws, other proposals and director nominations by shareholders that are not included in the proxy statement will be considered timely and may be eligible for presentation at that meeting only if they are received by Adtalem in the form of a written notice, directed to the attention of Adtalem's General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, not later than June 4, 2026. The notice must contain the information required by the By-Laws. See "Shareholder Nominations; Proxy Solicitation by Shareholders."

#### AVAILABILITY OF FORM 10-K
A copy of Adtalem's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K (including the financial statements), as filed with the SEC, may be obtained without charge upon written request to the attention of Adtalem's General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at Adtalem Global Education Inc., 233 South Wacker Drive, Suite 800, Chicago, IL 60606. A copy of Adtalem's Form 10-K and other periodic filings also may be obtained on Adtalem's investor relations website at investors.adtalem.com/financials/sec-filing and from the SEC's EDGAR database at www.sec.gov.

#### HOUSEHOLDING
Adtalem delivers only one Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and the 2025 Annual Report to multiple shareholders sharing the same address unless it has received different instructions from one or more of them. This method of delivery is known as "householding." Householding reduces the number of mailings you receive, saves on printing and postage costs, and helps the environment. Adtalem will, upon written or oral request, promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and 2025 Annual Report to a shareholder at a shared address. If you would like to change your householding election, request that a single copy of this or future proxy materials be sent to your address, or request a separate copy of this or future proxy materials, you should submit this request by writing Broadridge Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717 or calling 1-866-540-7095.

#### PROXY MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET
We are furnishing proxy materials to our shareholders primarily via the internet instead of mailing printed copies of those materials to each shareholder. By doing so, we save costs. On October 2, 2025, we mailed a notice of internet availability of proxy materials to certain of our shareholders. The Notice contains instructions about how to access our proxy materials and vote online or vote by telephone. If you would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice. If you previously chose to receive our proxy materials electronically, you will continue to receive access to these materials via email unless you elect otherwise.

**Additional Information**

#### DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS
Under U.S. securities laws, directors, certain officers, and persons holding more than 10% of our common stock must report their initial ownership of our common stock and any changes in their ownership to the SEC. The SEC has designated specific due dates for these reports and we must identify in this Proxy Statement those persons who did not file these reports when due. Based solely on our review of copies of the reports filed with the SEC and the written representations of our directors and executive officers, we believe that all reporting requirements for FY25 were complied with by each person who at any time during FY25 fiscal year was a director or an executive officer or held more than 10% of our common stock.

#### OTHER BUSINESS
The Board is not aware of any other matter that will be presented for action at this Annual Meeting. If any other matter requiring a vote of the shareholders properly comes before the Annual Meeting, the proxy committee will vote and act according to their best judgment.

By Order of the Board of Directors

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Encourage management to make the best long-term decisions for Adtalem's stakeholders; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Remain generally consistent with past practice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Restructuring expense primarily related to workforce reductions, costs to exit certain course offerings, and prior real estate consolidations at Adtalem's home office. We do not include normal, recurring, cash operating expenses in our restructuring expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Business integration expense includes expenses related to the Walden acquisition and certain costs related to growth transformation initiatives. We do not include normal, recurring, cash operating expenses in our business integration expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Amortization of acquired intangible assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Write-off of debt discount and issuance costs related to prepayments of debt, reserves related to significant litigation, asset impairments related to adjusting certain operating lease assets and property and equipment as a result of adjusting carrying values to fair values, loss on assets held for sale related to adjusting those assets to estimated fair value less costs to sell, and debt modification costs related to refinancing our Term Loan B loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Strategic advisory costs related to expanding capabilities and bringing new capacities to market to further enhance our strategic position. We do not include normal, recurring, cash operating expenses in our strategic advisory costs.
