Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

 

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 4") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on July 19, 2018 (the "Original Schedule 13D") by Mondelēz International, Inc. ("Mondelēz International") and Mondelēz International Holdings LLC ("MIH," and together with Mondelēz International, the "Reporting Person"), as amended by Amendments No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 to the Original Schedule 13D filed on March 10, 2020, August 3, 2020, September 10, 2020 and November 19, 2020, respectively (the "Prior Amendments"), relating to common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Shares") of Keurig Dr Pepper, Inc. (the "Issuer"). Except as otherwise specified in this Amendment No. 5, all items in the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by the Prior Amendments, are unchanged and each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

The information set forth in Items 5 and 6 of this Amendment No. 4 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4. As described in further detail in Item 6, on June 7, 2021, MIH agreed to sell 28 million Shares to the underwriter in the Secondary Offering (as defined below) at a price of $35.62 per Share.

 

After giving effect to the Secondary Offering, MIH owns approximately 6.4% of the outstanding Shares. As a result of the reduction in MIH's equity interest in the Issuer to less than 8%, MIH will cause one of its two designees to the Issuer's board of directors to resign, in accordance with the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement. MIH will continue to have the right designate one director to the Issuer's board for so long as MIH's equity interest in the Issuer is at least 5% and the MIH designee will be included as a member of each committee of the Issuer's board of directors, to the extent permitted by applicable laws.

 

Other than as described above, the Reporting Person currently has no plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D; however, the Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its position and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)-(b) MIH owns 90,218,223 Shares, assuming completion of the Secondary Offering, constituting approximately 6.4% of the outstanding Shares. Mondelēz International may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be the beneficial owner of the Shares owned by MIH. The information provided in response to Items 7-10 of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 4 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5(b).

 

(c) Except for the Secondary Offering, the Reporting Person has not, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, none of the persons named in Schedule B has, effected any transactions in the Shares during the past 60 days.

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

On June 7, 2021, MIH entered into (i) an underwriting agreement providing for the sale by MIH of 28 million Shares to the underwriter named in the underwriting agreement (the "Secondary Offering") at a price of $35.62 per Share; and (ii) a lock-up agreement under which MIH has agreed not to sell any Shares for 30 days after the date of the underwriting agreement, subject to certain exceptions. The closing of the Secondary Offering occurred on June 10, 2021. MIH granted the underwriter of the offering an option to purchase up to an additional 4.2 million Shares on or before July 7, 2021.

 

Item 7.

Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

 

Exhibit A – Joint Filing Agreement between MIH and Mondelēz International, filed as Schedule A to the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Exhibit B – Underwriting Agreement by and among Keurig Dr Pepper Inc., Mondelēz International Holdings LLC and the Underwriter named therein, dated June 7, 2021 (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 1.1 to the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2021.)
