This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the joint statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the common stock, $0.01 par value, of Ambassadors Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, filed by the undersigned on May 27, 2011 (the “Schedule 13D”) amends the Schedule 13D as follows:

1. The first paragraph of Item 3 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“The Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 811,624 shares of Common Stock for $7,828,179.54 using working capital from the Fund and the proceeds of margin loans under margin loan facilities maintained in the ordinary course of business by the Fund with a broker on customary terms and conditions.”

 

2. Item 5 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

 

  “Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a, b) The percentages of beneficial ownership reported in this Item 5, and on each Reporting Person’s cover page to this Schedule 13D, are based on a total of 17,575,722 shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of April 27, 2012, as reported in the most recent quarterly report of the Issuer on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012. All of the share numbers reported below, and on each Reporting Person’s cover page to this Schedule 13D, are as of May 7, 2012, unless otherwise indicated. The cover page to this Schedule 13D for each Reporting Person is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5(a, b).

The Fund directly holds, and thus has sole voting and dispositive power over, 811,624 shares of Common Stock. The GP, as sole general partner of the Fund, also has sole voting and dispositive power over these shares, and each of Messrs. Lynch and Scharfman has the shared authority to vote and dispose of these shares on behalf of the Fund. Accordingly, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns 811,624 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 4.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Reporting Persons beneficially own, in the aggregate, 811,624 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 4.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(c) No Reporting Person has effected any transaction in shares of the Common Stock since November 1, 2011.

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds from the sale of shares of the Common Stock.

(e) The Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own in the aggregate, and the Fund, the GP, as the sole general partner of the Fund, and each of Messrs. Lynch and Scharfman, as a management committee director of the GP, each ceased to beneficially own, 5.0% of the class of shares of Common Stock as of November 1, 2011.”
