(Page 12 of 18 pages) This Schedule 13D/A amends and restates the Schedule 13D originally filed on July 24, 1978 on behalf of certain of the Reporting Persons which was last amended by Amendment No. 4, dated April 2, 1987. This Amendment No. 5 is filed for the purpose of reporting certain exchanges made by the Reporting Persons, to report new Reporting Persons that may be considered members of a group and to confirm the current holdings of the Reporting Persons. ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER This statement on Schedule 13D/A relates to the Class A Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), and the Class B Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Class B Common Stock"), of John Wiley & Sons, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Company"). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 111 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030. The Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock are collectively referred to herein as the "Common Stock." ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND This Schedule 13D/A is being filed by the following persons and entities (each a "Reporting Person"): Deborah E. Wiley ("Deborah Wiley"), Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications of the Company, with a principal business address at 111 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030 Peter Booth Wiley ("Peter Wiley"), Chairman of the Board and Director of the Company, with a principal business address at 111 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030 Bradford Wiley II ("Bradford Wiley"), Director of the Company, with a principal business address at 111 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030 E.P. Hamilton Trusts LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "LLC"), with a principal business address at 1095 Market Street, Suite 309, San Francisco, CA 94103. W. Bradford Wiley & Associates, L.P., a New Jersey limited partnership (the "Partnership"), with a principal business address at 111 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030. Trust u/w/o/ Edward P. Hamilton f/b/o Deborah E. Wiley, with a principal business address at 111 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030 Trust u/w/o/ Edward P. Hamilton f/b/o Peter Booth Wiley, with a principal business address at 111 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030 Trust u/w/o/ Edward P. Hamilton f/b/o W. Bradford Wiley II, with a principal business address at 111 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030 Trust u/a/d/ 6/2/58 between Edward P. Hamilton, as Grantor, and Francis Lobdell and William J. Seawright, as Trustees, f/b/o Deborah E. Wiley, with a principal business address at 111 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030 (Page 13 of 18 pages) Trust u/a/d/ 6/2/58 between Edward P. Hamilton, as Grantor, and Francis Lobdell and William J. Seawright, as Trustees, f/b/o Peter Booth Wiley, with a principal business address at 111 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030 Trust u/a/d/ 6/2/58 between Edward P. Hamilton, as Grantor, and Francis Lobdell and William J. Seawright, as Trustees, f/b/o W. Bradford Wiley II, with a principal business address at 111 River Street, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030 Information concerning the members and management of the LLC, the partners of the Partnership, and the trustees of the trusts listed above is set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. Schedule I sets forth the following information with respect to each such person: (i) name, (ii) business address, (iii) present principal occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted, and (iv) citizenship. During the last five years none of the above referenced Reporting Persons or any of their respective directors, executive officers or trustees has (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding minor traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which it was or is subject to a judgement, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws. Each of the reporting persons is (i) a citizen of the United States or (ii) organized under the laws of a state of the United States. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION As described more fully under Item 4 below, the Reporting Persons seek to maintain ownership and control of the Company. The Reporting Persons agreed to form the LLC for the purposes of consolidating and holding their shares of Class B Common Stock. To effect the restructuring of their share holdings, certain of the Reporting Persons contributed to the LLC shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, and then certain of the Reporting Persons exchanged with the LLC certain shares of Class B Common Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock held by the LLC (the "Transaction"). The consideration for the transfers described above consisted exclusively of shares of Common Stock previously held by the Reporting Persons. No funds, property or other consideration were exchanged in the Transaction. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION The Reporting Persons completed the Transaction for the purposes of holding their collective interests in the Class B Common Stock in a jointly controlled entity and thereby maintaining and consolidating their control and their family's control over the Company. The holders of the Class A Common Stock are entitled to elect 30% of the entire Board of Directors of the Company, and the holders of the Class B Common Stock are entitled to elect the remainder. The Reporting Persons also seek to mitigate the loss and dilution of voting power when any of Deborah Wiley, Peter Wiley or Bradford Wiley dies and their respective estates may have to sell some of the Common Stock to pay estate taxes. As a result of the Transaction, in exchange for shares of Class B Common Stock, these Reporting Persons obtained shares of Class A Common Stock which will be available for sale to pay estate taxes or for other purposes. (Page 14 of 18 pages) The Reporting Persons collectively hold 8.3 percent of the total outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, 70.7 percent of the total outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and control approximately 52 percent of the voting power. In order to consolidate their ownership of the Class B Common Stock, certain of the Reporting Persons contributed shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to the LLC in exchange for membership interests in the LLC. Following the contribution of shares to the LLC and pursuant to an Exchange Agreement, dated March 12, 2003, by and among the LLC, Deborah Wiley, Peter Wiley, Bradford Wiley and the Partnership, certain of the Reporting Persons exchanged shares of Class B Common Stock held individually by them for shares of Class A Common Stock held by the LLC. As discussed more fully under Item 6 of this Schedule 13D/A, Deborah Wiley, Peter Wiley and Bradford Wiley are the managers of the LLC, and therefore maintain control over the shares of Common Stock held by the LLC. As a result of the Transaction, the Reporting Persons changed their form of beneficial ownership over certain shares of Common Stock, but the Reporting Persons as a group did not acquire additional shares of Common Stock. Other than as described in this Schedule 13D/A, the Reporting Persons do not have any specific plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Schedule 13D/A, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to develop such plans or proposals. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (a) As of March 12, 2003, the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is 4,138,546 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 8.3 percent of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and 8,214,436 shares of Class B Common Stock, representing approximately 70.7 percent of the outstanding Class B Common Stock. The beneficial holdings of each Reporting Person are set forth below:
