Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment”) is being jointly filed by Noam Gottesman (“Gottesman”), TOMS Acquisition I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TOMS Acquisition”), TOMS Capital Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TCI” and together with Gottesman and TOMS Acquisition, collectively referred to as the “Gottesman Reporting Persons”), Guy Weltsch (“Weltsch”), Alejandro San Miguel (“San Miguel”) and Anup Patel (“Patel”, and together with Weltsch and San Miguel (and any other holder of which they have sole beneficial ownership, collectively referred to as the “Toms Reporting Persons”), to amend the Statement on Schedule 13D initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 12, 2018 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on January 7, 2019 and Amendment No. 2 filed on January 6, 2020, the “Statement”) with respect to the ordinary shares, no par value (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Nomad Foods Limited, a company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at No. 1 New Square, Bedfont Lakes Business Park, Feltham, Middlesex TW14 8HA, United Kingdom. Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosure set forth in the Statement shall remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Statement. The Gottesman Reporting Persons and the Toms Reporting Persons are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended by the addition of the following:

As a result of ordinary shares repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to the Issuer’s previously announced share repurchase authorization of up to $300 million and previously completed “modified Dutch auction” tender offer for up to $500 million, the percentage ownership of ordinary shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons has increased.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Paragraphs (a) – (c) of Item 5 of the Statement are hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) - (b)

As of the date hereof, Gottesman beneficially owns an aggregate of 13,340,236 Ordinary Shares (and shares convertible into Ordinary Shares within 60 days) consisting of (i) shared power to vote, or to direct the vote, and shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of (A) 4,460,537 Ordinary Shares (and 750,000 Founder Preferred Shares convertible into Ordinary Shares within 60 days) held directly by TOMS Acquisition and (B) 6,708,110 Ordinary Shares held directly by TCI, and (ii) sole power to vote, or to direct the vote, of 921,690, 312,437 and 187,462 Ordinary Shares held by Weltsch, San Miguel and Patel, respectively (which Gottesman has the sole power to vote pursuant to the Proxy Agreement).

As of the date hereof, Weltsch, San Miguel and Patel may be deemed to beneficially own and have sole power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 921,690, 312,437 and 187,462 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.5%, 0.2% and 0.1% of all outstanding Ordinary Shares.
