Introduction

 

This amendment to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 31, 2018, as amended and supplemented by the Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on January 15, 2019 and the Amendment No. 2 filed with the Commission on February 19, 2019 (the “Original Schedule 13D,” as amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 3, the “Schedule 13D”) by each of Ms. Huiyan Yang, SURE BRILLIANT GLOBAL LIMITED, Yeung Family Trust V, Noble Pride Global Limited, Ultimate Wise Group Limited, Excellence Education Investment Limited and TMF Trust (HK) Limited (the “Reporting Persons”) and relates to Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) and Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”, together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Shares”) of Bright Scholar Education Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”).

 

Except as provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Original Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 have the means ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D, as amended.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting Schedule A referenced therein and replacing it with Schedule A included with this Amendment No. 3.

 

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

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by inserting the following after the last paragraph thereof:

 

“Ms. Huiyan Yang and Ms. Meirong Yang (collectively, the “Buyer Group”) intend to finance the Transaction (as defined below) with a combination of debt and equity capital. Equity financing is expected to be provided by the Buyer Group and from any additional equity investor who may be admitted to the Buyer Group. Debt financing is expected to be provided by loans from third party financial institutions.”

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by inserting the following after the last paragraph thereof:

 

“On April 29, 2022, the Buyer Group submitted a preliminary non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the members of the board of directors of the Issuer. In the Proposal, the Buyer Group proposed to acquire all outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, including Class A Ordinary Shares represented by American depositary shares (“ADSs”, each representing one Class A Ordinary Share), and Class B Ordinary Shares for US$0.83 per ADS or per Share, in cash (the “Transaction”). The Proposal also provided, among other things, that the Buyer Group would (a) conduct customary due diligence on the Issuer and its subsidiaries and (b) negotiate and finalize mutually satisfactory definitive agreements with respect to the Transaction that would provide for representations, warranties, covenants and conditions that would be typical, customary and appropriate for transactions of this type.

 

If the Transaction is consummated, the ADSs will no longer be traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the Issuer’s obligation to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 would terminate. No assurance can be given that any definitive agreement will be entered into or the Transaction will be consummated. The Proposal provides that it does not constitute any binding commitment with respect to the Transaction and that a binding commitment will result only from the execution of definitive agreements based on the terms and conditions therein.

 

References to the Proposal in this Amendment No. 3 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Proposal, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

 

Except as disclosed in the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a) – (j) of the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

“The descriptions of the principal terms of the Proposal under Item 4 of this Amendment No. 3 are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.”

 

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

 

Exhibit No. Description
99.1* Joint Filing Agreement, dated as of January 15, 2019.
