                                               market

10 September, 2009, London -- Kaplan, the global provider of lifelong education services, has
announced that it will combine its English language and university preparation programmes into
one business unit under the Kaplan International Colleges name.

Kaplan International Colleges (KIC) are joint educational partnerships with top UK universities
that deliver academic programs to prepare students for entry to higher education degree
programs at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.       Kaplan’s English language schools have
previously operated under the name of Kaplan Aspect.

The merger and rebranding will occur formally on 1 January, 2010 and the newly combined
organization will be led by David Jones, named as CEO of Kaplan International Colleges.

Jones said,  “Bringing these two businesses together under one brand allows Kaplan to offer a
more comprehensive range of high quality programs,       a wider choice of study locations for
students and a more global reach in student recruitment.

“Kaplan is widely known for making strong student support our highest priority and our clear focus
on performance and results have led to consistently high rates of progression to partner
universities. We will maintain this commitment to students and the same teams will continue to
provide high levels of support to our university and other institutional partners.”
