Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 8”) relates to the shares of Class A Common Stock par value $0.004 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Laureate Education, Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation (the “Issuer”), and amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed by Wengen Alberta, Limited Partnership (“Wengen”) and Wengen Investments Limited (“Wengen GP” and, together with Wengen, the “Reporting Persons”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 16, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6 and Amendment No. 7 to such Schedule 13D filed on April 25, 2018, November 15, 2018, November 21, 2018, June 19, 2019, September 23, 2019, March 24, 2021 and April 6, 2021, respectively (as so amended, the “Statement”).

This Amendment No. 8 is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report the redemption by certain investors of Wengen of their respective interests in Wengen in exchange for delivery by Wengen to such investors of the number of shares of Issuer Class A Common Stock  corresponding to the Wengen interests so redeemed, as described in more detail below. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 8 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2.
Purpose of Transaction.

Item 2 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

(a)-(f)    This Statement is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), by:

(i)   Wengen; and

(ii)  Wengen GP.

Wengen GP is the General Partner of Wengen.  The limited partnership interests in Wengen are held by certain investors.  On October 28, 2021, certain of these investors elected to have their interests in Wengen redeemed in exchange for delivery by Wengen to such investors of the number of shares of Issuer Class A Common Stock corresponding to the Wengen interests so redeemed (the “Redemption”).  Following the Redemption and cancellation of the interests, investors affiliated with or managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (together with its affiliates, “KKR”), StepStone Group LP (together with its affiliates, “StepStone”) and Sterling Fund Management, LLC (together with certain of its affiliates, except for Sterling Laureate, LP, “Sterling” and, collectively, the “Former Wengen Investors”) no longer hold limited partnership interests in Wengen.

Following the Redemption, the limited partnership interests in Wengen are held by certain investment funds and other investors affiliated with or managed by CPV Partners, LLC (together with its affiliates, including CPV Holdings, LLC, “CPV”), Snow Phipps Group, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Snow Phipps”), Sterling Laureate, LP and certain investment vehicles on behalf of persons that are not affiliated with CPV, Snow Phipps or the Former Wengen Investors (collectively, the “Wengen Investors”). Each of the Former Wengen Investors, CPV and Snow Phipps separately make Schedule 13D filings reporting their respective beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock.







After the date of this Amendment No. 8, on November 4, 2021, Messrs. Avi Epstein and Steven Taslitz, Sterling’s representatives on the board of directors of Wengen GP resigned effective on the same date.  Based on the disclosure set forth in the Schedule 13D/A filed on November 5, 2021 filed by KKR, KKR’s representative on the board of directors of Wengen GP is also expected to resign.

Pursuant to the Wengen Securityholders Agreement (as defined in Item 6), the Wengen Investors are entitled to appoint representatives to the board of directors of Wengen GP.

The business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director of Wengen GP as of October 28, 2021 and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each such director are listed on Schedule I hereto.

(b)  The address of the principal business office of each of the Reporting Persons is:

c/o Laureate Education, Inc.
650 South Exeter Street
Baltimore, MD 21202

(c) Wengen is principally engaged in the business of investing in the Issuer.  Wengen GP is principally engaged in the business of being the general partner of Wengen.

(d)  During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons listed on Schedule I hereto, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e)  During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons listed on Schedule I hereto, has been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were or are subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended by adding the following:

The information set forth in Items 2, 3 and 6 of this Statement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4.


On October 28, 2021, the Former Wengen Investors elected to engage in the Redemption.  Following the Redemption,  the Former Wengen Investors no longer hold limited partnership interests in Wengen and their respective representative on the board of directors of Wengen GP either have resigned or are expected to resign.

Because the Class B common stock, par value $0.004 per share, of the Issuer (the “Class B Common Stock”) outstanding after giving effect to the Redemption represented less than 15% of the total outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, pursuant to the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation each share of Class A Common Stock and each share of Class B Common Stock automatically converted into one share of the Issuer’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), effective October 29, 2021. Following the conversion, the Issuer has only one class of Common Stock outstanding, and the Issuer no longer qualifies for the “controlled company” exemption under the Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules.

In connection with the Redemption, on October 28, 2021, Wengen, Wengen GP and the Issuer entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement dated as of February 6, 2017, as further described in Item 6 below, which amendment was approved by the Former Wengen Investors, CPV and Snow Phipps in accordance with the Wengen Securityholders Agreement (as defined in Item 6).

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a), (b) and (c) of the Statement are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The information set forth in Items 2, 3, 4 and 6 of this Statement and the cover pages of this Statement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

(a) and (b). As of October 28, 2021, following the Redemption, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 20,855,584 shares of Class A Common Stock, which represent, in the aggregate, approximately 11.5% of the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock, calculated pursuant to the Exchange Act and based on information provided by the Issuer.  Effective October 29, 2021, following the date of this Amendment No.  8 and as a result of the Redemption, all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock were automatically converted to shares of Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Wengen Securityholders Agreement (as defined in Item 6), Wengen GP will vote the shares of Class A Common Stock owned by Wengen in certain matters, including in the election of certain directors, at the discretion of Wengen GP, and with respect to voting on certain matters and disposition of such securities, subject to certain limitations, such powers will be exercised by Wengen GP at the direction of each underlying investor in Wengen, in each case, with respect to a number of shares representing such investor’s pro rata interest in Wengen.

The Wengen Investors and certain of their affiliates separately make Schedule 13D filings reporting their beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock.


(c) Except as set forth in Item 4, no Reporting Person has effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The information set forth in Items 2, 3, 4 and 5 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

On October 28, 2021, the Issuer entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) dated as of the same date to the Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2017, among Wengen, the Issuer and the other parties thereto (the “Wengen Securityholders Agreement”).

The Amendment provides, among other matters, that for so long as either KKR or CPV holds at least 8,035,713 shares of Issuer Common Stock, KKR and CPV collectively (or one of them if the other has lost its director designation right under the Wengen Securityholders Agreement) will have the right to nominate one additional director (the “Third Director”) who will initially be Ian K. Snow, and who may be removed or replaced at any time without cause by KKR and CPV (or one of them if the other has lost its existing director designation right under the Wengen Securityholders Agreement). In the event that KKR and CPV each ceases to be the beneficial owner of at least 8,035,713 shares of Issuer common stock, then the Third Director must offer his resignation as a director to the Issuer’s Board of Directors, and KKR and CPV thereafter will no longer be entitled to designate a Third Director. In addition, irrespective of their actual holdings, the right to designate a Third Director, as well as the existing Issuer director designation rights of KKR, CPV and Sterling Capital Partners II, L.P., Sterling Capital Partners III, L.P., SP L Affiliate, LLC, Douglas L. Becker, Steven M. Taslitz and their respective affiliates under the Wengen Securityholders Agreement, will expire on December 31, 2024.

In addition, the Amendment specifies that the Wengen GP must cause all of the Issuer’s shares held by Wengen to be voted, and that all current and former Wengen investors who have an employee or representative serving on the Wengen GP’s or the Issuer’s Board of Directors must vote their shares of the Issuer, in favor of the director nominees designated by KKR and CPV under the Wengen Securityholders Agreement.

Also, in the Amendment, Wengen,  the Wengen Investors and the Former Wengen Investors agree that, as between them and the Issuer, Wengen and such investors will be responsible for the payment of any taxes and any related fees, costs and expenses attributable to a direct or indirect transfer of Issuer common stock and that Wengen and the Wengen Investors and Former Wengen Investors will, at the time of any such transfer, pay to, or as directed by, the Issuer or Wengen (and the Issuer and Wengen have the right to withhold from any amounts distributable to Wengen or the Wengen Investors or Former Wengen Investors) the amount of any taxes payable in Peru with respect to such transfer and any related costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Issuer, any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries or Wengen. Wengen will pay any amounts it so receives from the Wengen Investors and Former Wengen Investors to the Issuer, and the Issuer will use any amounts it so receives from Wengen and the Wengen Investors and Former Wengen Investors (and any amounts so withheld) to pay any taxes payable in Peru and its related costs, fees and expenses.


The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit P. to this Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference herein.

(a)         To the extent that there is any direct or indirect Transfer of Common Stock to, by, on behalf of or for the benefit of, the Company or any Investor or Securityholder or a direct or indirect Transfer of an interest in an Investor or Securityholder (each, a “Covered Transfer”), each Covered Person (as defined below) hereby acknowledges and agrees that:
 
(i)          as between such Covered Person and Laureate, such Covered Person is, and shall at all times remain, responsible and liable for the payment of any taxes and any related fees, costs and expenses (including any fees and disbursements of legal counsel) resulting from or attributable to such Covered Transfer;
 
(ii)          neither Laureate nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any responsibility or liability with respect to any such taxes or such related fees, costs and expenses; and
 
(iii)        such Covered Person will, at the time of any Covered Transfer, (A) pay to, or as directed by, the Company or Laureate the amount of any Peru Taxes with respect to such Covered Transfer and (B) reimburse the Company or Laureate, as applicable, for its pro rata portion of any related costs, fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel) incurred by the Company, Laureate or any of Laureate’s Subsidiaries.

The Company shall pay any amounts received from Investors and Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.20 to Laureate promptly upon receipt thereof.  For purposes of this Amendment, (i) “Covered Person” means the Company and each Investor and Securityholder, (ii) “Peru Taxes” shall mean any Peruvian taxes resulting from or attributable a Covered Transfer, (iii) “Peru Tax Certificate” shall mean any certificate issued by SUNAT to establish the tax basis for Peruvian tax purposes of Common Stock or any interest in an entity that holds, directly or indirectly, Common Stock and (iv) “SUNAT” shall mean the Superintendencia Nacional de Aduanas y de Administración Tributaria or any other Governmental Authority that is responsible for taxation in Peru.
 
(b)        Laureate and the Company shall be authorized (but shall not be required) to withhold from amounts payable to any Covered Person (whether that amount is payable in securities or cash) any such Peru Taxes and reimbursable costs, fees and expenses referred to in Section 6.20(a) of this Amendment.  The Company shall pay any amounts withheld from Investors and Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.20(b) to Laureate promptly upon such withholding.  Any amounts so withheld by Laureate or the Company shall be treated as paid to the applicable Covered Person.
 
(c)          Laureate shall use any amounts received from the Covered Persons pursuant to Section 6.20(a), and any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 6.20(b), to pay such Peru Taxes and its related costs, fees and expenses.  To the extent any amounts received from the Covered Persons pursuant to Section 6.20(a), and any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 6.20(b), exceed the amounts required to pay such Peru Taxes and the related costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Company, Laureate or any of Laureate’s Subsidiaries, such excess shall be returned to the Covered Persons.
 
(d)         Each Covered Person shall give Laureate prior written notice of any Transfer of Securities by, on behalf of or for the benefit of such Covered Person, which notice shall include a copy of the applicable Peru Tax Certificate then in effect.  No Covered Person shall be permitted to Transfer any Securities, unless such Covered Person pays to, or as directed by, the Company or Laureate (or the Company or Laureate withholds) the amount of any Peru Taxes as a result of such Transfer and such Covered Person’s pro rata portion of any related costs, fees and expenses incurred by Laureate.  Laureate shall notify each Covered Person in writing of the amount of Peru Taxes payable as a result of such proposed Transfer and the amount of such Covered Person’s pro rata portion of related costs, fees and expenses incurred by Laureate.
 
(e)         In the case of any Peru Tax Certificate obtained by Laureate with respect to any Common Stock or other interests, each Covered Person shall reimburse Laureate for such Covered Person’s pro rata portion of all fees, costs and expenses incurred or paid by Laureate or its Subsidiaries to obtain such certificate.
