Any capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 24 and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Statement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6, Amendment No. 7, Amendment No. 8, Amendment No. 9, Amendment No. 10, Amendment No. 11, Amendment No. 12, Amendment No. 13, Amendment No. 14, Amendment No. 15, Amendment No. 16, Amendment No. 17, Amendment No. 18, Amendment No. 19, Amendment No. 20, Amendment No. 21, Amendment No. 22 and Amendment No. 23.

 

This Amendment No. 24 is being filed to amend Items 2 and 4 as set forth below and to update the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially held by the Reporting Persons as described herein.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

Item 2(b) is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

The principal business address for each of Brandon No. 1 and Brandon No. 2 is c/o Stonehage Fleming Financial Services Limited, 15 Suffolk Street, London SW1Y 4HG, United Kingdom.

 

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

On May 10, 2016, the Company commenced a modified Dutch auction tender offer (the Offer) to purchase up to 14,084,507 shares of Common Stock for cash at a price per share of not less than $142.00 and not greater than $160.00.  The Offer allows stockholders to tender shares of Common Stock pursuant to either auction tenders, whereby stockholders may indicate how many shares and at what price within the Companys specified range they wish to tender, or purchase price tenders, whereby

 

23

 

stockholders will be deemed to have tendered their shares at the minimum price per share under the Offer. Based on the number of shares of Common Stock tendered and the prices specified by the tendering stockholders, the Company will then determine the lowest price per share within the range that will enable the Company to purchase the maximum number of shares validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn having an aggregate purchase price not exceeding $2.0 billion.  The Offer is subject to odd lot priority, proration and conditional tender provisions, as described in the Companys Offer to Purchase, and is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 8, 2016, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company.  If shares of Common Stock valued at more than $2.0 billion are tendered in the Offer at or below the purchase price, the Company may accept for purchase at the purchase price pursuant to the Offer up to an additional 2% of outstanding shares without extending the expiration time of the Offer.

 

Messrs. Sacks and Schlosberg have advised the Company that, although no final decision has been made, they may tender up to 2,150,000 and 1,250,000 shares, respectively, that they beneficially own in the Offer for asset diversification reasons, including shares held by each of them directly and shares held by the other Reporting Persons, in each case, as purchase price tenders.  Assuming that the Reporting Persons tender the 3,400,000 shares referred to above and all such shares are purchased in the Offer, the Reporting Persons will beneficially own an aggregate of 16,794,787 shares immediately following the Offer.  Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right to elect not to tender any of its shares in the Offer.

 

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 is hereby amended by deleting Item 5 in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

As of May 10, 2016, the aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is 20,194,787 shares, or 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock.  Percentages calculated in this Amendment No. 24 with respect to the Reporting Persons as a group are based upon 204,158,695 shares of Common Stock, which is the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Shares plus the 1,116,034 aggregate shares of Common Stock that could be acquired within 60 days of April 15, 2016 by the Reporting Persons upon the exercise of options to purchase Common Stock.
