Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D
This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the Amended Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 22, 2014, by Daniel Beltzman, Gregory
Smith, Birch Run Capital Advisors, LP and BRC Advisors GP, LLC (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).
Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the disclosure previously reported in the Schedule 13D, as amended. Unless otherwise defined
herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the previously filed Schedule 13D, as amended. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.
| ITEM 1. | SECURITY AND ISSUER |
Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The class of equity security to which this statement on Schedule 13D relates is the common stock, par value $0.05 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Regis Corporation (the “Issuer”).
The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 3701 Wayzata Boulevard, Minneapolis, MN 55416.
| ITEM 2. | IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND |
Item 2 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:
The business address of the Reporting Persons is 405 Lexington Avenue, Suite 720, New York, New York 10174.
| ITEM 3. | SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION |
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Birch Run Capital Advisors, LP (the “Adviser”) advises the accounts of Birch Run Capital Partners, LP, Walnut BRC, LP and Torch BRC, LP, (collectively, the “Funds”), which have purchased an aggregate of
10,655,170 shares of Common Stock for a total consideration (including brokerage commissions) of $169,370,417.61 derived from the capital of each of the aforementioned accounts.
| ITEM 4. | PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION |
Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:
This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D reflects the Reporting Persons’ current beneficial ownership of Common Stock, which has not changed since their last acquisition of beneficial ownership of Common Stock
in March 2015. All transactions in Common Stock by the Reporting Persons have been previously reported in Form 4 filings with the SEC. The Reporting Persons are filing this Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D as changes to the Reporting Persons’
beneficial ownership and percentage of beneficial ownership of the outstanding shares of Common Stock since the previous Schedule 13D amendment may be deemed to be sufficiently material to require a Schedule 13D amendment. The change in the
Reporting Persons’ percentage of beneficial ownership of Common Stock since the previous Schedule 13D amendment has predominantly been due to a decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
| ITEM 5. | INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER |
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference. Such information is based on a total of 35,665,777 shares of the Common Stock
outstanding as of September 4, 2020, as reported in the Issuer’s Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on September 16, 2020.
The Funds hold an aggregate of 10,655,170 shares of Common Stock. Of such shares, Birch Run Capital Partners, LP holds 1,658,941 shares of Common Stock, Walnut BRC, LP holds 5,033,581 shares of Common
Stock and Torch BRC, LP holds 3,962,648 shares of Common Stock. Daniel Beltzman, a director on the Board, has been awarded an aggregate of 17,535 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for his service as a director. Each RSU represents a contingent right to
receive one share of Common Stock.
The Funds have delegated to the Adviser voting and investment power over the securities held by the Funds pursuant to their respective Investment Management Agreements with the Adviser. As a result, each
of the Adviser, BRC Advisors GP, LLC (the “Adviser GP”), as the general partner of the Adviser, and Messrs. Beltzman and Smith, as Co-Managing Members of the Adviser GP, may be deemed to exercise voting and investment power over the shares of Common
Stock directly held by the Funds. The Funds specifically disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer directly held by them by virtue of their inability to vote or dispose of such securities as a result of their respective Investment
Management Agreements with the Adviser.
(c) All of the transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons since the filing of Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D have been reported by the Reporting Persons in Form 4 filings with
the SEC and such Form 4 filings are incorporated herein by reference. The last transaction effected by any of the Reporting Persons took place on March 17, 2015.
(d) Items 5(a) and 5(b) above are incorporated by reference herein.
(e) Not applicable.
| ITEM 6. | CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER |
Item 6 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:
The Letter Agreement with the Issuer discussed in Item 6 of Amendment No. 3 to this Schedule 13D automatically terminated by its terms in December 2016.
Signature
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this Schedule 13D is true, complete and
correct.
