Item 1. Security and Issuer


This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 4”) is being filed by GL Asia Mauritius II Cayman Limited, a Cayman Islands corporation, GL Asia Mauritius II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Avenue Asia Special Situations Fund IV, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, Avenue Asia Capital Partners IV Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation, Avenue Asia Capital Partners IV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, GL Asia Partners IV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Avenue Asia Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Avenue Asia Capital Management GenPar, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Marc Lasry, a United States citizen (the foregoing collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), to amend the Items specified below in the Reporting Persons’ Schedule 13D with respect to  the Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share underlying the American Depositary Shares (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) of Ambow Education Holding Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Issuer”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 27, 2013, and as amended by Amendment No. 3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2013.

  

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

The disclosure in Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated as follows:


(a) Each of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial owner of 21,599,914 Class A Ordinary Shares. The Reporting Persons currently represent approximately 2.4% of the voting power of the Issuer. The approximate percentage of the Reporting Persons’ voting power is based upon 918,472,276 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding and entitled to vote on January 28, 2015, as reported in Exhibit 99.1 to the Issuer’s Form 6-K for February 2015.  As of that date, the Issuer’s only outstanding securities were Class A Ordinary Shares.


The disclosure in Item 5(e) is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(e) The Reporting Persons became aware that they ceased to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to a Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement of the Issuer dated February 3, 2015 (the “Notice”).  The Notice indicated that, as of January 28, 2015, the Issuer had 918,472,276 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.  Prior to the receipt of the Notice, the most current publicly available information regarding the number of Class A Ordinary Shares came from the Issuer’s Form 20-F filed in respect of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (filed on July 8, 2014), which reflected 86,169,769 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding.  The Reporting Persons contacted the Issuer to determine the date as of which sufficient additional Class A Ordinary Shares were issued such that the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Class A Ordinary Shares, but the Issuer declined to provide such information.  The Reporting Persons have not been able to determine with certainty the number of issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares as of any date between December 31, 2013 and February 3, 2015.


Based on the foregoing, the Reporting Persons are unable to determine the date as of which they ceased to be the beneficial owners of five percent or more of the Class A Ordinary Shares or the date of the event which requires the filing of this amendment to the Reporting Persons’ Schedule 13D.  In the absence of such information, the Reporting Persons are using the date of the Notice, February 3, 2015, as the date as of which they ceased to be the beneficial owners of five percent or more of the Class A Ordinary Shares and the date of the event which requires the filing of this amendment to the Reporting Persons’ Schedule 13D.
