 This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D hereby amends Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 6, 2017 on behalf of Bregal Europe Co-Investment Limited Partnership, a limited partnership organized in Scotland (“Bregal LP”) and Bregal General Partner Jersey Limited, a corporation organized in Jersey (“Bregal GP” and, together with Bregal LP, the “Reporting Persons”) with respect to shares Class A common stock, $0.004 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of Laureate Education, Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation.  This Amendment No.1 is being filed to reflect a change in the percentage of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as a result of the change in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of April 23, 2018.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
Item 5(a) and (b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
 
The information contained on the cover pages to the Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3 and 6 hereof are incorporated herein by reference.
 
(a) and (b) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 126,189,616 shares of Class A Common Stock, which represent, in the aggregate, approximately 58.0% of the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock following the issuance of 36,142,759 shares of Class A Common Stock by the Issuer on April 23, 2018 upon conversion of the Issuer’s Series A Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Form S-3 Registration Statement filed by the Issuer on April 23, 2018 (the “Conversion”). The calculation of the foregoing percentage is based on an aggregate 217,607,603 shares of Class A Common Stock, which includes 55,275,228 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of April 20, 2018 plus (i) 36,142,759 shares of the Class A Common Stock issued by the Issuer on April 23, 2018 in the Conversion, and (ii) an additional 126,189,616 shares of Class A Common Stock that Wengen  may acquire upon the conversion of the Class B Common Stock owned by Wengen.
 
Wengen beneficially owns an aggregate of 126,189,616 shares of Class B Common Stock, which are convertible by Wengen on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class A Common Stock at the discretion of the general partner of Wengen or upon transfer, subject to the terms of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.  The limited partnership interests in Wengen are held by certain investors, including the Wengen Investors. The general partner of Wengen is Wengen Investments Limited (the “Wengen GP”), which is governed by a board of directors composed of Douglas L. Becker and other representatives of the Wengen Investors.  Pursuant to the provisions of the Wengen Securityholders Agreement, Wengen GP will vote the shares of Common Stock owned by Wengen in certain matters, including in the election of certain directors, at the discretion of Wengen GP and as a result, the Wengen Investors, including the Reporting Persons, and certain of their affiliates may be deemed to have shared voting power over the 126,189,616 shares of Class B Common Stock held directly by Wengen.  The Wengen Securityholders Agreement further provides each investor of Wengen with the ability to direct Wengen with respect to the portion of securities owned by Wengen attributable to such investor’s pro rata ownership interest in Wengen with respect to voting on certain matters and disposition of such securities, subject to certain limitations.  As a result of such provisions, of the 126,189,616 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Wengen, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have voting and investment power over 11,915,410 shares of Class B Common Stock owned directly by Wengen, equal to approximately 5.3% of the total shares of Common Stock immediately following the Conversion.  The general partner of Bregal LP is Bregal GP, which does not directly own any of the Reported Shares or any of the limited partnership interests in Wengen.  Due to its relationship to Bregal LP, Bregal GP may be deemed to have shared voting and investment power with respect to the Reported Shares. As such, Bregal GP may be deemed to have shared beneficial ownership over the Reported Shares as more fully described in this Schedule 13D.  The above does not include additional shares of Class B Common Stock owned by employees, directors and former employees and directors of the Issuer over which Wengen has been granted a voting proxy (but no rights with respect to conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock) pursuant to Management Stockholders Agreements, further described in Item 6 below. Based on information provided by the Issuer, an aggregate of 589,830 shares of Class B Common Stock was subject to such voting proxy as of February 28, 2018.

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
 
Wengen, the other Wengen Investors and certain of their affiliates will separately make Schedule 13D filings reporting their beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock.
 
None of the GP Directors beneficially owns any shares of Class A Common Stock.
