Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following paragraph before the final paragraph thereof:
On March 13, 2013, PPTL LP sold an aggregate of 4,840,710 shares of Common Stock in an underwritten public offering of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock by certain selling stockholders of the Issuer at a price per share of $31.40 (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, but before expenses) (the “March 2013 Offering”), pursuant to the underwriting agreement, dated March 7, 2013, among Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as underwriters, the Issuer, PPTL LP and the other selling stockholders (the “March 2013 Underwriting Agreement”). Pursuant to the March 2013 Underwriting Agreement, PPTL LP has agreed not to sell any shares of Common Stock (subject to certain exceptions) for 45 days from the date of the Prospectus (as defined in the March 2013 Underwriting Agreement) filed in connection with the March 2013 Offering without the prior written consent of the underwriters. The March 2013 Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 18 and its terms are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 4.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) PPTL LP directly owns 11,708,387 shares of Common Stock representing approximately 4.65% of the outstanding Common Stock, based on 251,751,500 shares of Common Stock outstanding after the March 2013 Offering (as reported in the Prospectus Supplement dated March 7, 2013, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) on March 11, 2013, File No. 333-176435).
GP does not directly own any shares of Common Stock but, as the general partner of PPTL LP, has the power to direct the voting and disposition of all of the 11,708,387 shares of Common Stock held by PPTL LP. Philips Pension Trustees is the sole member of GP (and may therefore elect GP’s board of directors) and is the sole limited partner of PPTL LP. As such, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have formed a group within the meaning of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and each of GP and Philips Pension Trustees may be deemed to possess shared beneficial ownership of the 11,708,387 shares of Common Stock held by PPTL LP.
KPENV may appoint the majority of the board of directors of Philips Pension Trustees. In addition, the Amended Transfer Agreement limits the ability of PPTL LP as the holder of the Transfer Shares to dispose of the Transfer Shares without the consent of KPENV.
By virtue of (A) the Shareholders’ Agreement (as defined in Item 6), which contains (i) certain restrictions on the transfer of shares of Common Stock held by the parties thereto, (ii) certain agreements as to the voting of such shares, (iii) drag-along provisions requiring the sale of such shares in certain circumstances and (iv) tag-along provisions permitting the parties thereto to participate in the sale of Common Stock by another party, and (B) with respect to KPENV, the Amended Transfer Agreement, which contains the provisions described above, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have formed a group, within the meaning of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-5 promulgated thereunder, with KPENV and the other parties to the Shareholders’ Agreement, including the consortium of funds advised by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., Bain Capital Partners, LLC, Silver Lake Management Company, L.L.C., Apax Partners LLP and AlpInvest Partners N.V. and NXP Co-Investment Partners L.P. (collectively, the “Private Equity Consortium”). As a result, beneficial ownership of the 86,628,616 shares of Common Stock held directly or indirectly by the Private Equity Consortium (as reported in the Prospectus Supplement dated March 7, 2013, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) on March 11, 2013, File No. 333-176435) may be attributed to the Reporting Persons, which would result in the beneficial ownership by the Reporting Persons of 98,337,003 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 39.06% of the outstanding Common Stock, based on 251,751,500 shares of Common Stock outstanding after the March 2013 Offering (as reported in the Prospectus Supplement dated March 7, 2013, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) on March 11, 2013, File No. 333-176435). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Persons disclaim membership in such group and disclaim beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock held directly or indirectly by the Private Equity Consortium.
The aggregate beneficial ownership that may be attributed to KPENV and the other parties to the Shareholders’ Agreement (each, an “Other Party” and collectively, the “Other Parties”) by virtue of any group that may be deemed to have been formed, as described above, is set forth in Schedule II attached hereto.
(b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to (i) Rows (7) through (10) of Schedule 13D and (ii) Item 5(a) hereof are incorporated herein by reference. By virtue of the rights and obligations of Philips Pension Trustees and PPTL LP under the Shareholders’ Agreement including those described in Item 5(a) hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the 86,628,616 shares of Common Stock held directly or indirectly by the Private Equity Consortium but disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares. The number of shares of Common Stock as to which KPENV and each Other Party may be deemed to share voting or dispositive power, as well as the information required by Item 2 with respect to each such party, is set forth in Schedule II attached hereto.
(c) Aside from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the March 2013 Offering, the Reporting Persons have not effectuated any transactions in Common Stock since the filing of the Fifteenth Amendment. Aside from the March 2013 Offering, the Reporting Persons are not aware of any transactions in Common Stock that were effected since the filing of the Fifteenth Amendment by KPENV or any Other Party.
(d) The Reporting Persons have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the 11,708,387 shares of Common Stock held directly by PPTL LP. Pursuant to the Amended Transfer Agreement, PPTL LP and/or Philips Pension Trustees may be required under certain circumstances to make an additional payment to KPENV in respect of such Common Stock, as described in Item 3. The description of the Purchase Price Adjustment set forth in Item 3, the terms of the Amended Transfer Agreement (attached as Exhibit 1) and the terms of the Restated LP Agreement (attached as Exhibit 5) are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
Item 6 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following statement after the final paragraph thereof:
In connection with the March 2013 Offering described in Item 4 above, PPTL LP entered into the March 2013 Underwriting Agreement, under which it agreed to, among other things, refrain from selling any shares of Common Stock for 45 days (subject to certain exceptions) from the date of the Prospectus (as defined in the March 2013 Underwriting Agreement) filed in connection with the March 2013 Offering without the prior written consent of the underwriters. This sale restriction was further memorialized in a letter dated March 7, 2013 from PPTL LP to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the “March 2013 Offering Lock-Up Letter”). The March 2013 Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 18, the March 2013 Offering Lock-Up Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 19, and the terms of each are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 6.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits
Item 7 of the Original 13D is hereby amended to add the following:
Exhibit 18: Underwriting Agreement, dated March 7, 2013, among Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as underwriters, the Issuer, PPTL LP and the other selling stockholders.*
