This Amendment No. 20 to the Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 20”) relating to Nobel Learning Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is being filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 14, 1998, as amended (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 20 is the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and is an exit filing.

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 20 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented in relevant part as follows:

On August 9, 2011, the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2011 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Academic Acquisition Corp. and Academic Merger Sub, Inc. became effective. At such time, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock and Series D convertible preferred stock held by the Reporting Persons was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a cash payment of $11.75 and $1.88, respectively. As a result, as of August 9, 2011 the Reporting Persons are no longer the beneficial owners of any securities of the Company.

 

Item 7. Material Exhibits to be Filed.
