Item 5.

Interest in the Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

The information set forth in the cover pages and Item 2 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

 

(a), (b) Furniture Investments Acquisitions S.C.S. beneficially owns, and Furniture Investments S.à r.l. and Furniture Investments Management S.à r.l. may be deemed to beneficially own, 169,165 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, as of the close of business on April 29, 2021. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share and holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 4.5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. The Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay dividends in cash or as a dividend in kind (additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock having value equal to the amount of accrued dividends) until the two year anniversary of the Closing Date, after which the Issuer must pay dividends in cash. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the deemed value of a share of Series A Preferred Stock is equal to its liquidation preference of $1,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders thereof at any time into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $16.7500 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

 

As a result of its beneficial ownership of Series A Preferred Stock, Furniture Investments S.à r.l., Furniture Investments Management S.à r.l. and Furniture Investments Acquisitions S.C.S. may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 10,099,402 shares of Common Stock which would be received upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock at the initial conversion price, which represents, in the aggregate, approximately 16.6% of the outstanding Common Stock. Global Furniture Holdings S.à r.l., Investindustrial VII L.P. and Investindustrial Advisors Limited (as investment manager of Investindustrial VII L.P.) may also be deemed to beneficially own the Preferred Shares, and accordingly may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 10,099,402 shares of Common Stock, which represents, in the aggregate, approximately 16.6% of the outstanding Common Stock. These percentages are based on 60,905,779 shares of Common Stock, which is equal to 50,806,377 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 26, 2021, plus 10,099,402 shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Shares are convertible at the initial conversion price.

 

Each of Global Furniture Holdings S.à r.l., Furniture Investments S.à r.l., Furniture Investments Management S.à r.l., Furniture Investments Acquisitions S.C.S., Investindustrial VII L.P. and Investindustrial Advisors Limited has the shared power to vote or to direct the vote, and the shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, 10,099,402 shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Shares owned directly by Furniture Investments Acquisitions S.C.S. are convertible at the initial conversion price.

 

In addition, under the definition of “beneficial ownership” as set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, as a result of the entry into the Voting and Support Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” with Herman Miller.

 

None of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, Herman Miller, beneficially own any shares of Common Stock except as described herein.

(c) Except as specifically set forth in this Item 5, neither any Reporting Person nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, Herman Miller, has effected any transaction in the Series A Preferred Stock or the Common Stock during the past 60 days, except for (i) transactions disclosed in Amendment No. 1 to this Schedule 13D, (ii) the disposition of 362,917 shares of Common Stock by Global Furniture Investments S.à r.l on April 26, 2021, (iii) the disposition of 200,000 shares of Common Stock by Global Furniture Investments S.à r.l on April 27, 2021, (iv) the disposition of 255,855 shares of Common Stock by Global Furniture Holdings S.à r.l on April 27, 2021, which shares were transferred to Global Furniture Holdings S.à r.l  on such date by Global Furniture Investments S.à r.l , and (v) the disposition of 367,877 shares of Common Stock by Global Furniture Holdings S.à r.l on April 28, 2021, which shares were transferred to Global Furniture Holdings S.à r.l  on April 27, 2021 by Global Furniture Investments S.à r.l, as further described in the Form 4 filed by certain of the Reporting Persons with the Commission on April 28, 2021.

 

(d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no one other than the Reporting Persons, or the partners, members, affiliates or shareholders of the Reporting Persons, has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities of the Issuer reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons herein.
