INTRODUCTION

        This Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment") to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (the "Transaction Statement"), is being filed by (i) Laureate Education, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Laureate" or the "Company"), the issuer of the common stock that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction and (ii) the individuals and other entities listed on the cover page of this Transaction Statement (collectively, the "Filing Persons"). This Amendment relates to the merger contemplated by the attached Schedule 14C Information Statement and the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 3, 2007, by and among Wengen Alberta, Limited Partnership, an Alberta limited partnership ("Parent"), L Curve Sub Inc. ("L Curve"), a Maryland corporation and a direct subsidiary of Parent, and the Company (the "Merger Agreement") and as also described in the original Transaction Statement, as amended. The Merger Agreement provides that in accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law, L Curve will be merged with and into Laureate (the "Merger").

At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Laureate common stock (other than shares that are to be canceled pursuant to the Merger Agreement or are to otherwise remain outstanding pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive $62.00 in cash less any applicable withholding taxes. Parent has advised the Company that immediately prior to the Merger, M Curve Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a direct subsidiary of Parent ("M Curve"), will merge with and into L Curve, with L Curve as the surviving corporation in that merger.

        Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing with the Securities Exchange Commission a preliminary Schedule 14C Information Statement under Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), relating to the special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which the stockholders of the Company will consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Merger and the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the "Information Statement") is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(17) and a copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to the Schedule 14C. The information set forth in the Schedule 14C, including all annexes and amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by this reference, and the responses to each item in this Transaction Statement are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Schedule 14C.
