 The Schedule 13D, dated August 18, 2015, is filed by ORIX HLHZ Holding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“HLHZ”), and ORIX Corporation, a Japan corporation (“ORIX” and, together with HLHZ, the “Reporting Persons”), with respect to Class A Common Stock of Houlihan Lokey, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), is hereby amended as set forth below. This Amendment No. 14 to Schedule 13D does not restate disclosures in the original Schedule 13D that are not being amended, and should be read in conjunction with the original Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings provided in the original Schedule 13D.

 

The purpose of this Amendment No. 14 is to reflect that on May 28, 2019, the Issuer and HLHZ entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “2019 Underwriting Agreement”), pursuant to which HLHZ agreed to sell 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to the underwriter named therein, in connection with a registered public offering (the “2019 Offering”).

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The 28,939,179 shares of Class A Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons consist of 3,377,935 shares held directly by HLHZ and indirectly by ORIX, as HLHZ is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ORIX ( the “Subject Shares”) and 25,561,244 shares held by the HL Voting Trust. Other than the 1,109,721 shares of Class A Common Stock held by HLHZ, these shares are receivable upon conversion of a like number of shares of Class B Common Stock:

 

	Shares of Class A Common Stock Beneficially Owned	Percentage of Class A Common Stock Represented (a)
Reporting Persons	3,377,935	8.1%
HL Voting Trust	25,561,244	40.0%
Total	28,939,179	43.7%

 

(a)

Based on (i) 38,410,437 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the date hereof, (ii) 27,829,458 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding of which 25,561,244 shares of Class B Common stock are subject to the HL Voting Trust as of the date hereof and (iii) 2,268,214 shares of Class B Common Stock owned directly by ORIX. Each calculation assumes conversion of the Class B Common Stock into the number of shares of Class A Common Stock listed in that row and assumes no other holders of Class B Common Stock convert their shares.

By reason of the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the shares in the HL Voting Trust; however, the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares. Together, the parties to the Stockholders’ Agreement hold 88.2% of the voting power of the Issuer’s outstanding capital stock.

 

No other person is known to the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Subject Shares beneficially owned by any of the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:

 

2019 Underwriting Agreement

 

In connection with the 2019 Offering, HLHZ entered into an underwriting agreement, by and among the Issuer, HLHZ and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (the “2019 Underwriter”), pursuant to which HLHZ sold 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $45.515 per share.

 

2019 Lock-Up Agreement

 

In connection with the 2019 Offering, HLHZ entered into a lock-up agreement (the “2019 Lock-Up Agreement”) pursuant to which HLHZ agreed, among other things and with certain exceptions, not to sell or transfer any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, for 60 days after May 28, 2019 without first obtaining the written consent of the 2019 Underwriter.

 

The foregoing summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the 2019 Underwriting Agreement and the 2019 Lock-Up Agreement. The 2019 Underwriting Agreement and the 2019 Lock-Up Agreement are filed as Exhibits C and D hereto, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein. HLHZ continues to be a party to the Stockholders’ Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits A and B hereto, respectively, and are described in the Original Schedule 13D.
