	Funds for the purchase of the Ordinary Shares reported herein were derived from the general working capital of Burlington.  A total of approximately $855,421,840 was paid to acquire the Ordinary Shares reported herein.

 

Item 4.	PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
	The Reporting Persons acquired the Ordinary Shares because they believed that the Ordinary Shares reported herein, when purchased, represented an attractive investment opportunity.

 

	From time to time, the Reporting Persons have expressed their opinions about the offer by Quebec B.V. to acquire all of the issued Ordinary Shares (the "Tender Offer") to the Issuer's supervisory board of directors (the "Supervisory Board"), and certain members of management of the Issuer.  Most recently, on July 16, 2020, DKEP sent a letter to the Supervisory Board and certain members of management of the Issuer in the form of a press release (the "July 16 Letter"), providing, among other things, that the Issuer is severely undervalued by the current Tender Offer and the current offer of €43 per Ordinary Share pursuant to the Tender Offer is wholly inadequate and, accordingly, the Reporting Persons do not intend to tender their Ordinary Shares in the Tender Offer at such price.  This description of the July 16 Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the July 16 Letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
	The Reporting Persons have engaged and may continue to engage in discussions with management, the Issuer's managing board of directors (the "Managing Board"), the Supervisory Board, other shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties, including representatives of any of the foregoing, concerning the Reporting Persons' investment in the Ordinary Shares and the Issuer, including, without limitation, the Tender Offer, matters concerning the business, operations, governance, board composition, director candidates, management, capitalization and strategic plans of the Issuer or of any subsidiary of the Issuer or other entity in which the Issuer may have an investment (the foregoing "Related Entities").  From time to time, the Reporting Persons may send additional letters to the Managing Board, the Supervisory Board or certain members of management of the Issuer expressing their views on, among other things, the Tender Offer and the value of the Ordinary Shares.  The Reporting Persons may exchange information with any persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements or otherwise, work together with any persons pursuant to joint agreements or otherwise, propose changes in the business, operations, governance, board composition, director candidates, management, capitalization or strategic plans of the Issuer or any Related Entity, or propose or engage in one or more other actions set forth under subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
	The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.  Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, the financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by management of the Issuer, the Managing Board or the Supervisory Board or any Related Entity, price levels of the Ordinary Shares, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer and/or any Related Entity as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, proposing or nominating director candidates to the Supervisory Board or the board of directors of any Related Entity, proposing changes in the operations, governance, capitalization, use of capital, financial metrics, capital allocations, corporate structure, including acquisitions or dispositions of the Issuer or any Related Entity, purchasing additional, or selling some or all of, their Ordinary Shares or shares of any Related Entity, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Ordinary Shares or shares of any Related Entity and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect to their investment in the Ordinary Shares or shares of any Related Entity.

 

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons have not entered into any agreement with any third party to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Ordinary Shares reported herein.

 

Item 5.	INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a)	See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and percentages of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.  The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon 228,639,798 Ordinary Shares reported to be issued and outstanding as of July 17, 2020 in the Issuer's Supplemental Joint Reasoned Statement of the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board attached as Exhibit 99(a)(6) to Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 14D on Form SC 14D9-A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on July 22, 2020.
(b)	See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of Ordinary Shares as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.
(c)	Information concerning transactions in the Ordinary Shares reported herein effected during the last sixty days is set forth in Schedule B, which is attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.  All of the transactions in the Ordinary Shares listed therein were effected in the open market through various brokerage entities.
(d)	No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, such Ordinary Shares.

Dear Members of the Supervisory Board and Management Board,

 

Davidson Kempner European Partners, LLP is the sub-adviser to Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP which acts as the discretionary investment manager to various funds which hold in aggregate 8,144,286 shares of Qiagen N.V. (the “Company”). This aggregate holding represents 3.6% of the share capital of the Company.

 

Increased Thermo Fisher Scientific (“Thermo”) Offer is a Step in the Right Direction but Falls Short of Fair Value of €48-52/share and Davidson Kempner Will Not be Tendering Its Shares.

We welcome the increased €43/share offer from Thermo announced today. While the increased offer is beginning to recognise the material positive uplifts to the Company’s business prospects, the revised offer price is still at a material discount to the fair value of the Company of €48-52/share. The revised offer of €43/share represents a P/E multiple of 19.3x on Davidson Kempner’s adjusted EPS of $2.54/share, which is below the Company’s historical trading range of 20-23x and does not incorporate any control premium. We are also disappointed with the Board of the Company, which has decided to reduce the acceptance condition in return for a price well below fair value.

We will not be tendering our shares into the revised offer. We encourage other shareholders to reject the offer and communicate their views to the Board of the Company.

 

/s/ Michael Herzog

Davidson Kempner European Partners, LLP

Mr. Michael Herzog

Partner
