This amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on February 24, 2020 (the “Initial 13D”
and, as amended and supplemented through the date of this Amendment No. 4, collectively, the “Schedule 13D”) by the Reporting Persons, relating to the common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Olin Corporation
(the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items
where such information is relevant. The Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:
On May 23, 2022, the Reporting Persons sold a portion of their position in the Issuer for portfolio management purposes because the position’s
significant outperformance had caused it to become disproportionately large relative to the Reporting Persons’ other portfolio holdings. As of the date of this Amendment No. 4, the Reporting Persons’ investment in the Issuer remains one the largest
positions in the Reporting Persons’ portfolios and Scott Ferguson continues to serve as a director of the Issuer.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:
(a), (b) Sachem Head, SH Management and Scott D. Ferguson may be deemed to beneficially own 9,465,160 shares of Common Stock (the “Subject Shares”). The Subject Shares collectively represent
approximately 6.23% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock based on 151,832,528 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on April 29, 2022.
Sachem Head, as the investment adviser to the Sachem Head Funds, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) all
of the Subject Shares. As the general partner of Sachem Head, SH Management may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) all of the Subject Shares. As the
general partner of SH and SHM, Sachem Head GP may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or to direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) 3,700,000 of the Subject Shares, constituting 2.44% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock. By virtue of Scott D. Ferguson’s position as the managing partner of Sachem Head and the managing member of SH Management and Sachem Head GP, Scott D. Ferguson may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or
direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) all of the Subject Shares.
(c) On May 23, 2022, SH and SHM sold 1,587,240 and 912,760 shares of Common Stock, respectively, in a block trade at a price of $60.98 per share.
(d) The Sachem Head Funds have the right to receive dividends from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the Subject Shares.
(e) Not applicable.
