Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

 

 This statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Nelnet, Inc. (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 121 South 13th Street, Suite 100, Lincoln, NE.

 

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

 

(a)-(c) This Schedule 13D is being jointly filed by Adam K. Peterson, Magnolia Capital Fund, LP (“MCF”), and The Magnolia Group, LLC (“TMG”), a registered investment adviser, (each a “Reporting Person” and, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) with respect to shares of Common Stock, owned directly by MCF and certain shares* of phantom stock held directly by Mr. Peterson.

 

TMG is the general partner of MCF. Mr. Peterson is the managing member of TMG. TMG and Mr. Peterson may each exercise voting and dispositive power over the Common Stock held by MCF and, as a result, may be deemed to be indirect beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock held by MCF. TMG and Mr. Peterson disclaim beneficial ownership of the Common Stock.

 

The principal business address of each of the Reporting Persons is 1601 Dodge Street, Suite 3300 Omaha, Nebraska 68102.

 

(d) During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

 

(e) During the past five years, none the of Reporting Persons have been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

(f) MCF is a Delaware limited partnership. TMG is an Oklahoma limited liability company and registered investment adviser. Mr. Peterson is a U.S. citizen.

 

Item 3.  Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The source and consideration for the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as described in this Schedule 13D, are as follows:

 

(1)

MCF directly holds 1,900,000 shares of Common Stock. Its cost basis in these assets is $108,560,670. Consideration for these assets came from the working capital of MCF.

 

(2)

Adam K. Peterson directly holds 356 shares of phantom stock. The phantom stock held directly were originally granted to Mr. Peterson effective as of March 17, 2022 at a cost basis of $0.00.

 

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

 

This Schedule 13D amendment is being filed to report that, effective March 17, 2022, Adam K. Peterson was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Issuer and received 356 shares of phantom stock. The shares of phantom stock were granted pursuant to the issuer's Directors Stock Compensation Plan. They will become payable in shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of termination of the reporting person's service as a member of the issuer's Board of Directors. The shares will be payable in a lump sum at the time of termination of the reporting person's service as a member of the issuer's Board, or in up to five annual installments, commencing at the time of termination of the reporting person's service on the issuer's Board, as elected by the reporting person.

 

The purpose of the acquisition of the Common Stock is for investment, and the acquisitions of the Common Stock were made in the ordinary course of business. All purchases of the Common Stock were based on the belief that such securities, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Given the Reporting Persons’ ownership percentage of, and Mr. Peterson’s role with, the Issuer, the Reporting Persons holding of the Common Stock may have the purpose or effect of controlling the Issuer.

 

Although Reporting Persons have no specific plan or proposal to acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of the Common Stock, Reporting Persons at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of any or all of its Common Stock depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Person and/or other investment considerations.
