The shares set forth above are directly owned by REH and not Mrs. Holding. REH is the primary and direct beneficial owner of the shares indicated above, and the board of directors of REH has all voting and investment power with respect to such shares. However, as a result of her relationship with REH, Mrs. Holding may be deemed to also beneficially own such shares under applicable securities law and SEC guidance. Mrs. Holding, however, does not intend ever to own such shares directly for investment purposes in the future and expressly disclaims such beneficial ownership to the maximum extent permitted by law. REH and Mrs. Holding are collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons.”
The Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement, a copy of which was filed with the Schedule 13D as Exhibit 99.1, pursuant to which the Reporting Persons have agreed to file this Schedule 13D jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Act.
(c.) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no transactions were effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days other than (i) the transaction described herein; (ii) the transaction pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated January 3, 2024, by and between the Issuer and REH, whereby the Issuer repurchased 454,380 shares of Common Stock, for $55.02 per share for the aggregate purchase price of $24,999,988 in a privately negotiated transaction; and (iii) the transaction pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated February 8, 2024, by and between the Issuer and REH, whereby the Issuer repurchased 1,061,946 shares of Common Stock for $56.50 per share for the aggregate purchase price of $59,999,949 in a privately negotiated transaction.
The disclosure in Item 4 of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.
(d.) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, other than as described herein.
(e.) Not applicable.
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
The information contained in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D and Item 4 of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.
On February 27, 2024, in connection with the sale of shares described in this Amendment No. 19, REH agreed to customary “lock-up” restrictions that will expire 45 days following the date of the sale, subject to waiver by the registered broker and certain exceptions, including, but not limited to, privately negotiated sales or transfers of Common Stock from REH to the Issuer.
