SCHEDULE 13D

CUSIP No. 12508E101 Page

of 9

This amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment No. 4), amends
and supplements the Schedule 13D (the Original 13D) filed on October 27, 2014 (the Original 13D, as amended and supplemented through the date of this Amendment No. 4, the Schedule 13D), by the Reporting
Persons, relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock), of CDK Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer).

This Amendment No. 4 is being filed to disclose a reduction in the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons of Common Stock as a result
of sales of Common Stock. As the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, this Amendment No. 4 constitutes the final amendment to the Schedule 13D.

Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Original 13D. Except as set forth herein,
the Schedule 13D is unmodified.

ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following information:

As of July 22, 2016, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned an aggregate of 6,732,959 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately
4.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons also have additional economic exposure to approximately 3,152,667 notional shares of Common Stock under certain cash-settled total return swaps, bringing their total aggregate
economic exposure to 9,885,626 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 6.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

(a), (b) Based upon the Issuers quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed on May 5, 2016, there were approximately 155,336,347 shares of
the Common Stock outstanding as of May 2, 2016.

Based on the foregoing, as of July 22, 2016, the 6,732,959 shares of the Common Stock
(the Subject Shares) beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons represent approximately 4.3% of the shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding.

(c) Exhibit 99.5 which is incorporated by reference into this Item 5(c) as if restated in full, describes all of the transactions in shares of
Common Stock, swaps and options that were effected since Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D by the Reporting Persons for the benefit of the Sachem Head Funds, including certain portfolio rebalancing transactions among the Sachem Head Funds
that do not change the number of shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. Those transactions were effected for the accounts of the Sachem Head Funds, as further specified in Exhibit 99.5. Except as set forth in Exhibit 99.5, since
Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, no reportable transactions were effected by any Reporting Person.

(e) As of July 5, 2016, the
Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own more than 5% of the shares of the Common Stock and, accordingly, are no longer required to file amendments on Schedule 13D with respect to the Issuer.

ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS AN EXHIBIT

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding a reference to the following exhibit:
