* The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person's initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter disclosures provided in a prior cover page.

The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

 

 




Explanatory Notes: This Final Amendment (this “Amendment”) to Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 26, 2007, as amended by Amendment No.1 thereto filed on June 8, 2007 and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed July 20, 2007 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”), on behalf of Douglas L. Becker, R. Christopher Hoehn-Saric, Steven M. Taslitz, Eric D. Becker, L Curve Sub Inc., M Curve Sub Inc., Wengen Alberta, Limited Partnership, Wengen Investments Limited, Citigroup Capital Partners II 2007 Citigroup Investment, L.P., CGI CPE LLC, CPE Co-Investment (Laureate) LLC, CGI Private Equity LP, LLC, Citicorp Banking Corporation, Citigroup Capital Partners II Employee Master Fund, L.P., Citigroup Capital Partners II Onshore, L.P., Citigroup Capital Partners II Cayman Holdings, L.P., Citigroup Private Equity LP, Citigroup Alternative Investments LLC, Citigroup Investments Inc., Citigroup Inc., Sigma Capital Management, LLC and Steven A. Cohen (the “Filing Persons”).

This Amendment is made by the above-referenced parties, excluding CGI CPE LLC, L Curve Sub Inc. and M Curve Sub Inc. (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

This Amendment relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Laureate Common Stock”), of Laureate Education, Inc. (the “Issuer”). The Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 4.                    PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following after the last paragraph thereof:

On August 14, 2007, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, M Curve was merged with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation. On August 17, 2007, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. As a result, the Issuer no longer has securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and each Reporting Person may no longer be deemed to constitute a “group” with each other Reporting Person.

ITEM 6.       CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUE.

The last paragraph of Item 4 above is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

ITEM 7.       MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

The disclosure in Item 7 is hereby supplemented by adding the following in appropriate numerical order at the end of that section:

Exhibit 7.01
