Lumen is also the direct owner of $100,000,000 in principal amount of 5.50% Mandatorily Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023 of ArcelorMittal (the “Convertible Notes”). Lumen may convert its Convertible Notes into 9,266,600 of ArcelorMittal Shares.

Nuavam is the direct owner of 63,658,348 ArcelorMittal Shares, representing 6.3% of the ArcelorMittal Shares outstanding.

Grandel is the indirect owner of 376,773,931 ArcelorMittal Shares, representing 36.9% of the ArcelorMittal Shares, by virtue of its 100% indirect ownership of Lumen and Nuavam.

The Trustee is the indirect beneficial owner of 376,773,931 ArcelorMittal Shares, representing 36.9% of the ArcelorMittal Shares, by virtue of its beneficial ownership of 70% of the Class A voting shares of Grandel, as discussed in greater detail in Item 2 of the Statement.

Mr. Mittal is the direct owner of 286,742 ArcelorMittal Shares representing less than 0.1% of the ArcelorMittal Shares outstanding. Furthermore, under the terms of the Platinum Trust Deed, Mr. Mittal shares with Mrs. Mittal and the Trustee beneficial ownership of 70% of the Class A voting shares of Grandel and accordingly Mr. Mittal is the beneficial owner of 377,060,673 ArcelorMittal Shares in total, representing 36.9% of the ArcelorMittal Shares outstanding. In addition, Mr. Mittal holds a total of 321,714 performance share units, granted by ArcelorMittal pursuant to its Group Management Board Performance Share Unit Plan (“PSU”), of which 154,409 may vest in 2022, 89,933 may vest in 2023 and 77,372 may vest in 2024. As the vesting of PSUs is dependent on company performance criteria not fully within the control of the PSU holder, Mr. Mittal does not beneficially own ArcelorMittal Shares by virtue of his ownership of the PSUs.

Mrs. Mittal is the direct owner of 25,500 ArcelorMittal Shares, representing less than 0.1% of the ArcelorMittal Shares outstanding. Additionally, under the terms of the Platinum Trust Deed, Mrs. Mittal shares with Mr. Mittal and the Trustee beneficial ownership of 70% of the Class A voting shares of Grandel and accordingly Mrs. Mittal is the beneficial owner of 376,799,431 ArcelorMittal Shares in total, representing 36.9% of the ArcelorMittal Shares outstanding.

As the vesting of PSUs is dependent on company performance criteria not fully within the control of the PSU holder, Aditya Mittal does not beneficially own ArcelorMittal Shares by virtue of his ownership of the PSUs. Aditya Mittal is the son of Mr. Mittal and Mrs. Mittal.

 

Vanisha Mittal Bhatia is the direct owner of 8,500 ArcelorMittal Shares, representing less than 0.1% of the ArcelorMittal Shares outstanding. Vanisha Mittal Bhatia is the daughter of Mr. Mittal and Mrs. Mittal. 

The calculation of the beneficial ownership percentages set forth in Item 5(a) and 5(b) is based on 1,102,809,772 ArcelorMittal Shares issued as of July 29, 2021 as published on the website of ArcelorMittal, of which 90,809,082 were held by ArcelorMittal as treasury stock, and on the Convertible Notes held by the Reporting Persons converted at the minimum conversion ratio under the terms of the Convertible Notes.

In addition, Lumen also holds Convertible Notes, which it may convert into 9,266,600 ArcelorMittal Shares and would upon conversion have the power to vote or direct the vote or dispose of such ArcelorMittal Shares.

Grandel has the power to vote or to direct the vote or dispose or direct the disposition of 367,507,331 ArcelorMittal Shares, which it shares with Mr. Mittal, Mrs. Mittal and the Trustee, by virtue of the Trustee’s ownership of 70% of the Grandel voting shares and the terms of the Platinum Trust Deed, as well as with Lumen and Nuavam as described in the preceding two paragraphs. In addition, Grandel would also have shared voting and dispositive power over the 9,266,600 ArcelorMittal Shares into which the Convertible Notes held by Lumen may be converted and, accordingly, Grandel shares the power to vote or to direct the vote or dispose or direct the disposition of 376,773,931 ArcelorMittal Shares, representing 36.9% of the ArcelorMittal Shares outstanding.

The Trustee (subject to its obligations under the Platinum Trust Deed and its obligations as a fiduciary under applicable law) has the power to vote or to direct the vote or dispose or direct the disposition of 367,507,331 ArcelorMittal Shares, which it shares with Mr. Mittal and Mrs. Mittal by virtue of their shared beneficial ownership (as such term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of 70% of the Class A voting shares in Grandel, as well as with Lumen, Nuavam and Grandel as described in the preceding three paragraphs. In addition, the Trustee would also have shared voting and dispositive power over the 9,266,600 ArcelorMittal Shares into which the Convertible Notes held by Lumen may be converted and, accordingly, the Trustee shares with the persons specified in the immediately preceding sentence the power to vote or to direct the vote or dispose or direct the disposition of 376,773,931 ArcelorMittal Shares, representing 36.9% of the ArcelorMittal Shares outstanding.

2,771,746	26.3220	July 6, 2021
326,511	26.8694	July 7, 2021

Except as disclosed in this Statement and certain other acquisitions of shares by ArcelorMittal from Lumen under the Second Buy-Back Program (which acquisitions have been disclosed under the Fourteenth Amendment), to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons named in Item 2 has effected any transaction in the ArcelorMittal Shares during the past 60 days.

The response set forth in Item 6 of the Statement is hereby amended by deleting the previous disclosure set forth under the heading “Amendment to Share Repurchase Agreement” in entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

Share Repurchase Agreement and Amendments Thereto

On February 12, 2021, ArcelorMittal and Lumen entered into a share repurchase agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”) in connection with the First Buy-Back Program and Second Buy-Back Program.

 

On June 21, 2021, ArcelorMittal and Lumen entered into an amendment to the Share Repurchase Agreement (the “First Amendment Agreement”) in connection with the Third Buy-Back Program.

 

 

On July 30, 2021, ArcelorMittal and Lumen entered into a second amendment to the Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Second Amendment Agreement”) in connection with the Fourth Buy-Back Program. Under the Second Amendment Agreement, on each trading day during which ArcelorMittal conducts purchases under the Fourth Buy-Back Program, ArcelorMittal and Lumen have agreed to buy and sell, respectively, a number of ArcelorMittal Shares, such that the number of ArcelorMittal Shares so purchased and sold represents 36.34% of the sum of: (i) the total number of shares purchased by ArcelorMittal under the Fourth Buy-Back Program (other than from Lumen) and (ii) the number of ArcelorMittal Shares purchased by ArcelorMittal from Lumen pursuant to the Second Amendment Agreement, in each case on that trading day. Except as specifically provided for and varied by the Second Amendment Agreement, all of the terms and conditions of the Share Repurchase Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Accordingly, consistent with the Share Repurchase Agreement, the ArcelorMittal Shares to be repurchased from Lumen in connection with the Fourth Buy-Back Program during any trading day will be repurchased at the same weighted average price as the ArcelorMittal Shares purchased under the Fourth Buy-Back Program on the relevant trading day in the open market. Purchases and sales occurring during periods of five consecutive trading days will be settled together two trading days following the end of each such period. However, any settlement of ArcelorMittal Shares in connection with the Fourth Buy-Back Program will be postponed if such settlement would cause the Trustee to hold less than one-third of all the voting rights of ArcelorMittal (including those connected with the ArcelorMittal Shares held in treasury by or on behalf of ArcelorMittal or the subsidiaries of ArcelorMittal).

 

The foregoing summary of the Share Repurchase Agreement, the First Amendment Agreement and the Second Amendment Agreement are qualified by references to the full text of the Share Repurchase Agreement, the First Amendment Agreement and the Second Amendment Agreement, copies of which are included as Exhibit 8, Exhibit 9 and Exhibit 10, respectively, to this Fifteenth Amendment and which are incorporated herein by reference.
