The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D previously filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No.
2”) with respect to BrightSphere Investment Group plc. This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
(a) The aggregate percentage of Common Stock reported owned by the Reporting Person is based upon 80,241,738 shares of Common Stock outstanding as
of May 8, 2020, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on May 11, 2020. As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person may be deemed to have beneficially owned approximately 24.9%1
of the outstanding Common Stock.
(b) Number of shares of Common Stock as to which Paulson has:
(i) Sole power to vote or direct the vote: 20,000,552 (see Note 1).
(ii) Shared power to vote or direct the vote: 0
(iii) Sole power to dispose or direct the disposition: 20,000,552 (see Note 1).
(iv) Shared power to dispose or direct the disposition: 0
(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, the
Reporting Person has not entered into any transactions in the Common Stock during the past sixty days
(d) See Note 1.
(e) Not applicable.
Note 1: Paulson, an investment advisor that is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940, furnishes investment advice to and manages the Funds. In its role as investment advisor, or manager, as the case may be, Paulson possesses voting and investment power over the securities of the Issuer described in this Schedule 13D that are
owned by the Funds. The pecuniary interest of all securities reported in this Schedule is owned by the Funds. Except for the purpose of determining beneficial ownership under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Paulson
disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities reported in this Schedule 13D.
For
reporting purposes, the aggregate amount of Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Person is calculated based on an aggregate of 20,000,552 shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Person as of the date hereof.
1 This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to reflect a change in the percentage of outstanding Common
Stock the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own. This change is due solely to a reduction in the aggregate amount of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as disclosed by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 11,
2020. The Reporting Person has not entered into any transactions in the Common Stock since its original Schedule 13D filing.
