EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2018 (the “Original Form 8-K”) by Laureate Education, Inc. (the “Company”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company's 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 23, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the decision of the Company's board of directors (the “Board”) regarding how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers (“Say on Pay”). No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, in a non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future Say on Pay votes held at the 2018 Annual Meeting, the majority of the Company’s stockholders voted in favor of an annual Say on Pay vote. The Board has considered the outcome of this advisory vote and has determined, as was recommended by the Board with respect to this proposal in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting, that the Company will hold future Say on Pay votes on an annual basis. The Board will reevaluate this determination no later than after the next advisory vote regarding the frequency of Say on Pay votes, which is required to occur no later than the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
